Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, regulates the nervous system, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - “shi” (finger) and “atsu” (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit. This therapy is done fully clothed and works great with gentle or more firm pressure. If you've ever received a chair massage, you've experienced some shiatsu.
If you've never gotten a massage before, then Shaitsu is a great place to start!
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
Facilitated Assisted Stretching and PNF is for improving your flexibility and overall well-being. As you probably already know, stretching your muscles not only reduces your chance of injury, but also strengthens your tendons and improves your circulation.
Our primary goal is to increase range of motion and joint mobility, quickly and effectively, as well as increased flexibility and coordination of the body.
Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane.
Can be included in a 100-min massage or as an independent session
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a “life force”, and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
This can be included in any session as a compliment from me.
The Emotion Code was developed by renowned holistic physician and lecturer Dr. Bradley Nelson. Dr. Nelson discovered how emotionally-charged events from your past can still be haunting you in the form of unresolved "trapped emotions".
These trapped emotions are emotional energies that literally inhabit your body, creating physical tension and discomfort, pain, emotional stress, and eventually disease.
The Emotion Code is a method of identifying and releasing this stuck energy, enabling individuals to discover peace, prosperity, and abundance in all areas of their lives.
I have successfully worked with adults, children, and animals. This can be done in person or remotely.
Many have what's known as a Heart Wall due to many emotional-packed events through the years that affects our ability to properly give and receive love, including self-love. As time goes on we may feel lack of connectedness with others, causing a sense of dissatisfaction in many areas of life.
Emotional energy can also be inherited from previous generations, known as generational trauma. Or it can be absorbed from others around us who are experiencing the emotional events.
