MASSAGE
I offer different types of massage to choose from; Deep Tissue, Tui Na, Swedish, Shiatsu, and Thai Massage. Each are described below so you can decide what suits your needs best.
DEEP TISSUE
Designed to relieve severe tension in the muscles and connective tissue. Sessions are quite intense as a result of deliberate, focused work. 30 min, 60 min, or 90 min sessions. The combination of various Myofascial techniques in relation to the individual needs of the client will determine the length and specificity of each session.
SHIATSU
​
Japanese therapy that uses pressure applied with the thumbs, fingers and palms to the same energy meridians as acupressure and incorporates stretching.
THAI MASSAGE
System of massage and assisted stretching. This form of bodywork is often performed on the floor and the client wears comfortable clothes that allow for movement. No oils are used in Thai Massage.
TUI NA
Chinese therapy often used in conjunction with Qi Gong. The therapist may brush, kneed, roll, press, and rub the areas between each of the joints to attempt to open the body's Chi and get the energy moving in the meridians and the muscles. The therapist uses a range of motion, traction, and massage with the stimulation of acupressure points.
SWEDISH
​
In all Swedish Massage, the therapist lubricates the skin with massage oils and performs various massage strokes. These movements warm up the muscle tissue, releasing tension and gradually breaking up muscle "knots". Swedish Massage promotes relaxation, among other health benefits.
