Massage sessions are individually tailored to you and your goals, whether you’re getting a single treatment or have a long-term therapeutic plan. You are a multilayered and interconnected person, and I pull from a variety of toolboxes in order to treat you.

Muscle
Muscle and its soft tissue connections to bone, ligament, and membrane can become sites of knots, adhesions, and stagnant blood flow.
Myofascial and Swedish deep tissue techniques work to get your muscles loose and limber, increasing local and systemic circulation, restoring balance to your mobility, and reducing pain.
Smart trigger point work drills to down to specific sites of referred pain and accumulated tension - loosening up those deep knots you may not even know you had.

Connective Tissue
Your body moves through more than just muscle and bone.
The myofascial and connective tissue network is a critical shock absorber and dynamic structural integrator of the body - as such, it can hold tension just as much as your muscles can.
Shiatsu and supported release techniques help bring circulation and energy to this system. Benefits include increased mobility, reduced systemic inflammation, and tension release.

Brain & Body
We all accumulate stress and injuries, big and small, within our body. Stressful events in our life form distinct compensation patterns and can activate our sympathetic nervous system. Parts of you, like your shoulders, neck, or back may feel like they never relax. Anxiety might stay knotted up in your belly without a way of getting out.
Reflexology, Positional Release, Heart Tapping, and stretching modalities all help to promote:
A feeling of restfulness within you.
Parasympathetic Nervous System activation
Pleasure in the joints.
Subtle yet deep releases
Feeling safer within your body. Thrive within yourself.
