Massage

A traditional massage customized to your goals. Working on the muscular system only, with the use of: swedish, deep tissue, cupping, essential oils and/or herbal liniments.

 

Swedish Massage  -  The pressure can be light, medium or firm. It is key in warming up soft tissue for more specific work, as well as guiding the nervous system into a parasympathetic state.

 

Deep Tissue Work  -  The purpose of deep tissue is to focus on problem areas, gradually increasing pressure, allowing the tissue to soften, as the body allows me to sink into the deeper layers.

-It is counterproductive if you are holding your breath, cringing, or ‘toughing through it’. Nor, should I be forcing my way through the layers. If you are in a state of stress; physically, mentally or emotionally then the nervous system will not allow your muscles to relax.

 

Cupping  -  Using negative pressure to pull soft tissue up and away from the body, cupping can help ‘create space’ between each layer, releasing areas of restriction.

I do not leave cups in any one spot for more than a few minutes and I will typically glide each cup around. Muscle ‘knots’ don’t just show up, something created that knot and the source needs to be treated.

 

 

Holistic Bodywork

This is where the reset back to being balanced and healthy happens. Going beyond the surface relief, and listening to and following where your imbalances pull to. These sessions are integrative, evidence-informed, guided by your own inner physician, and deeply therapeutic.

Blending any of the following, as needed:

Massage, CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Acupressure and Meridian work, connective tissue work, Essential oils and liniments.

 

CranioSacral Therapy  -  Stresses, strains and injuries, the body absorbs it all. Over time, this can affect the central nervous system and nearly every other system in the body.

I gently follow and assess the speed and strength of the craniosacral rhythm (the flow of cerebrospinal fluid). 

Treating areas of restriction, allows the central nervous system to relax and the body can self-correct. 

 

Acupressure. Qi & Meridians  -  Incorporating acupressure points into a massage can help with a clients short term and long term goals. Acupressure does NOT use needles but it does address and treat the same meridians and points as acupuncture, 

Unwinding Meridians is a treatment that focuses on balancing the flow of Qi along the meridians, and clear any blocks, if needed.

 

Visceral Manipulation, Abdomen  -  If mobility of an organ is impaired due to injury, surgery, illness, posture, diet, etc. then functional and structural problems will arise in time.

By gently helping your body reset and self-correct, releasing restrictions and freeing up organs to move with ease, the function of organs can improve, mobility (range of motion) can improve, symptoms can be resolved, and aches/pains can decrease.
