My Massage Style & Approach:  I  tend to use a variety of techniques in a given session combining deep-tissue, Esalen, sports massage, trigger point, cranial-sacral, stretching and energy work like healing touch/Reiki.  I believe  human touch is very personal and healing. I practice with a healing intent for every session.  I work with all ages, genders and health status.  I especially work with those needing therapy for stress, low-back  pain, shoulder injuries, plantar fasciitis and flexibility for sports performance.

Massage Styles:

Thai Herbal Compress:  This herbal therapy was designed to relieve pain and inflammation. A selection of therapeutic herbs, including prai, ginger, turmeric and lemongrass, are wrapped in a muslin compress, steamed and then applied to the body in gentle pressing, circular and rolling movements.

Aromatherapy Massage:  This massage uses essential oils derived from plants to affect your mood and alleviate pain. In aromatherapy massage, essential oils are mixed with a carrier oil like sweet almond, apricot kernel, or grapeseed oil. The massage therapist use up to five oils in a mixture, and chooses the oils based on what you need. A relaxing aromatherapy massage, for instance, might have lavender or bergamot, while a massage for sore muscles might include peppermint and eucalyptus.

Swedish Massage: Swedish massage is the style that comes to mind when most people think about massage.  It uses a system of long, fluid strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more surface layers of the muscles. It is often combined with active and passive stretching.  Overall it improves circulation, removes toxins and eases tension.

Deep Tissue Massage: Deep tissue massage releases tension in the body through deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia.

Trigger Point:   Applies concentrated finger pressure to “trigger points” (painful irritated areas in muscles) to break cycles of spasm and pain.

Cranial Sacral: is a technique that deals with the fluid surrounding the skull and spine.  It helps by correcting  imbalances or blockages that may cause sensory impairment, headaches, neck and back pain.

Chair Massage:  Chair massage is administered while the client is clothed and seated in a specially designed chair. The chair  slopes forward allowing access to the large muscles of the back. The massage lasts between 10 and 30 minutes and is intended to relax and improve circulation and reduce tension in the upper extremities.

Reflexology:  This modality focuses on a system of points in the hands and feet thought to correspond, or “reflex,” to all areas of the body.

Sports Massage:  Relive muscle tension, soreness and improve performance. Sports Relief combines muscle energy and flexibility techniques including PNF, active-isolated and static stretching among others.  Sports massage improves blood circulation and is a natural antioxidant as it helps to remove waste products and refurbishes tissues with essential nutrients that aid healing.

Stone Massage:  Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body, which warms the muscles and calms the nervous system.

Esalen Massage:  Similar to Swedish massage, Esalen massage is set apart as a unique style because it also reflects an attitude about touching, caring, energy awareness and emotional, spiritual healing besides just physical manipulation. It uses long, flowing strokes from head to toe.

Marma Point Massage Full/Facial:  Marma-point therapy is a mind/body/spirit massage.   “It goes way beyond the physical to penetrate the body on a deeper level. Marma is a Sanskrit word meaning hidden , or secret. By definition, a marma point is a juncture on the body where two or more types of tissue meet, such as muscles, veins, ligaments, bones or joints. Yet marma points are much more than a casual connection of tissue and fluids; they are intersections of the vital life force and prana, or breath.
