Massage Techniques

  • Thai Massage

    Excellent for opening the joints and creating movement in areas that are too tight to move.  This session is sometimes called a facilitated yoga because you are able to breathe and relax while I put your body in yoga like postures. Each session you will be fully clothed and relaxing on a Thai mat on the floor. Through broad pressure using hands, forearms, elbows, knees and feet you are able to receive both deep and relaxing pressure that helps to increase your range of motion. It also focuses on the energy lines of the body to help create a more balanced feeling in your body.

    It is beneficial for people with active lifestyles, people struggling with anxiety or depression, and injury rehab.  Please bring or wear a loose fitting shirt and stretchy pants.

  • Therapeutic Massage

    This session focuses on relaxation of the body and mind with the option to focus on a few areas that may be uncomfortable or painful.  At times some deep tissue techniques may be applied but only to your comfort level.  

    This session is great for people that need: to decrease stress from life, a break from the chaotic world, and just need to be nurtured. At times, cups, fascial blaster and heat therapy may be used if needed.

  • Deep Tissue

    Deep Tissue––the good pain (it should not hurt).  During a deep tissue session, at times you may feel sustained deep pressure, however it should provide relief and increased range of motion. Areas that are restricted do not have adequate blood flow.  This style helps not only superficial muscle holding but also the deeper levels.  One thing to keep in mind: it should not hurt and some parts of our body may need lighter pressure.  Please let me know if the pressure needs to be adjusted. 

    This style is beneficial for acute and chronic issues, active lifestyles including excessive computer work and has been known to help people with sciatica. At times cups, fascial blaster and heat therapy may be used if needed.
