Acupressure: Also known as “Jin Shin Do.” This technique is based on ancient Chinese Medicine and works with pressure points to balance and harmonize the body. Static pressure is applied to various points located along specific Meridian pathways in the body.  
 

Deep Tissue: Deep pressure and penetrating strokes are combined with muscle-articulating stretches and movements. This technique may aid injury rehabilitation (depending on the injury) as well as promote pain relief. Techniques are drawn from modalities such as: Neuromuscular therapy, Rolfing, and soft tissue release/rehabilitation.

  
 
Swedish: Healing massage that combines soothing and therapeutic techniques to relax and nurture the body.
  
 
Restorative: Invigorating massage that combines faster moving effleurage and pettrissage strokes to increase circulation and the flow of lymph through the body. Lymph Definition: Lymph acts to remove bacteria and certain proteins from the tissues, as it transports fat from the small intestine and supplies mature lymphocytes to the blood.
  
 

Energy Healing : In every massage modality I offer, therapeutic bodywork techniques are complimented with intuitive listening to maximize your healing potential. I also offer pure energy-healing sessions. In these sessions, I observe and tune into the client’s subtle energetic vibrations that reveal patterns of imbalance and tension in the body. This form of healing is intuitive and does not follow a set pattern. The effects are similar to those resulting from a deep Cranial Sacral or Reiki session. In a comfortable and healing environment, I work with divine (higher realm, Spirit) energies that help to create a deep, relaxing space for healing. Crystals and wild crafted plants or essential oils may also be used to clear negative energies and rejuvenate the Spirit. It is important to focus on a personal healing intention before each session. I encourage people to take some time to themselves before their appointment to tune into what they wish to heal within their body, mind and spirit. This enables us to drop into an open space for healing, as we maximize the positive results of the session.
