TECHNIQUES
Elemental Care
Drawing from my many styles of massage, I strive to accommodate each person's needs. Whether the receiver is looking for serene relaxation, improved flexibility, or deep structural work, My diverse educational background allows me to customize treatments for optimal effectiveness. Massage and bodywork are necessary for preventing stress and illness in a person's life. I believe that the goal of wellness is attainable, and that receiving regular massage and bodywork allows individuals to heal harmoniously. My sessions can help with: lower back pain, tension from desk work, headaches, neck pain, TMJ syndrome, relaxing during pregnancy/recovery from giving birth, as well as injury prevention, and athletic optimization
DEEP TISSUE AND RELAXATION MASSAGE
Regulating the Nervous System
Deep Tissue Massage employs slow and steady pressure to sooth and relax the muscles. It is is a corrective technique that "irons out" adhesions formed within the muscle fibers due to postural deviations and holding patterns that people develope over their lifetime. The slow, gradual pressure readies the body to accept deeper work thereby accelerating the healing process.

​
Relaxation Massage sessions focus soothing the nervous system, integrating techniques from Cranio-Sacral Therapy [CST], Shiatsu, and Swedish massage disciplines. The intent is to disengage from the body's "Fight or Flight" response.
PRE AND POST NATAL CARE
​
During and after pregnancy, the body undergoes dramatic changes to adapt to the new life growing inside. Many people experience sensations and tensions which can be uncomfortable.
​
The application of specialized side-lying massage techniques can reduce stress, help manage pain, and improve the quality of sleep. All of these areas can improve the quality of life for both the baby and parent.
