ABOUT MASSSAGE

Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. One of the primary goals of  Swedish massage is to relax the entire body by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage does more than just relax - it  is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins,  improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

A study conducted by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine found a 45-minute Swedish massage made significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol, as well as arginine vasopressin-a hormone that can lead to increases in cortisol. Swedish massage also increases  the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the immune system.

TECHNIQUES  include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Before and during your Swedish massage session, communication is encouraged with your professional massage therapist so that your massage is customized to your specific needs.

I would describe my massages as integrative- taking all the knowledge and techniques I have accumulated over the past 30 years and distilling them into a session tailored to meet your needs.

SPORTS MASSAGE TECHNIQUES can help increase your range of motion and flexibility.

ESALEN MASSAGE delivers long integrative strokes that are great for calming the system and connecting different body parts.

DEEP TISSUE uses more pressure to reach the deeper  layers of your muscles, tendons, and fascia.

POSITIONAL RELEASE is a gentle non invasive effective modality that reduces tight muscle and hyperchronic tissues. 

After you fill out your intake form we can discuss what will best meet your needs.  I offer 60 and 90 minute  sessions.  90 minutes is my preference when receiving a massage to allow for deeper relaxation!!

I LOVE THAI MASSAGE WHETHER GIVING OR RECEIVING IT!! 

Sometimes known as "LAZY MAN'S YOGA", the body is put into yoga positions and pulled, stretched and rocked combined with static and rhythmic pressures. The client wears loose comfortable clothing. Traditionally it is done on a thick floor mat with no oils or lotions. Some of the strokes can also be adapted to a massage table.  The therapist may also use their feet as well as their hands during a session.  Thai massage, can help people relax, temporarily relieve muscle and / or joint pain and temporarily boost a person's mood.  

Prepare to feel loose, energized and expansive after a Thai massage.
