Deep Tissue
There are many layers of soft and connective tissue the body. Deep Tissue Massage works with many layers to relax and lengthen the tissues, and to release holding patterns in the most effective and efficient way possible. In Deep Tissue Massage there is less focus on pleasure and relaxation as a primary goal and more emphasis on altering structure and muscle restrictions.
Prenatal
Prenatal Massage can greatly ease this miraculous transition into motherhood. New studies have confirmed what midwifes and doulas have known for centuries, that skilled and experienced touch does much more than just relieve pain and tension. It helps with every stage of the childbearing year, from conception to birth, as well as the postpartum period. The more positive the pregnancy and birth experience is for the mother, the deeper the connection with the child, and the less likely postpartum depression is to occur.
Relaxation
Relaxation Massage is used for stress reduction and a general feeling of well-being. Massage helps people of all ages maintain good physical condition and health by normalizing and improving muscle tone, promoting relaxation, pain relief, injury rehabilitation, stimulating circulation and producing therapeutic effects on the respiratory and nervous system and subtle interactions among all body systems.
Sports Massage
Ever since sports have existed, so has the art of sports massage. Sports Massage is a combination of techniques from many different styles of bodywork united together by common goals; prevent injury, enhance performance, and speed recovery.
Swedish Massage
Muscular therapy with oil that uses long gliding strokes and strong kneading strokes. It improves circulation, speeds recovery time after workouts, speeds healing responses, and improves overall flexibility and range of motion.
Trigger Point, Neuromuscular, Deep Tissue Massage
Deep pressure muscular therapy that can be painful, yet extremely beneficial. The techniques release holding patterns that cause injury, encourage detoxification of the tissues, and improve structural alignment of the body for better coordination, movement, and flexibility.
Shiatsu
A Japanese touch healing modality that has been called, “acupuncture treatments without needles.” It follows the Asian Bioenergetic map of the body called Meridians. These are pathways that can be stimulated with gentle to deep pressure with the intention to balance, and effect the energy of the body to produce healing and wellness.
Thai Yoga Massage
A series of stretches and palming techniques that balances the energy system, calms, revitalizes the body/mond/spirit. A combination of yoga postures, and shiatsu like palming techniques.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
A light touch that helps to free up the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid along the spine and cranium. When working well, this system of “spinal respiration” helps to nourish our nervous system, and maintain balance in all our other systems of the human being. It is an extremely calming technique that has been known to relieve symptoms of depression, insomnia, headaches, back pain, and neuromuscular disorders.
Energy Healing
I have studied many different methods of encouraging wellness in living systems. The belief that fuels this work is that our consciousness is our body. From this perspective, when we hold thoughts, feelings and beliefs of love, health, and wellness for ourselves and others we are providing the opportunity for love, health and wellness to exist. I have studied with people and traditions who encourage the development of healing consciousness like Barbara Brennan, Elizabeth Stratton, Yoga, Chi Gong, Rio Abierto (an Argentine healing center in Buenos Aires), various forms of meditation (Zen, Primordial Sound, Raja Yoga, Shambala Buddhist), and shamanic experiential creative expression. The services that I provide that come under the umbrella of “energy healing” range from a healing touch with massage, personalized tarot card readings, facilitation of authentic creative expression through all means of art, and spontaneous compassionate guidance through shared meditation, conversation, and therapeutic healing analysis.
