Massage and Bodywork

Picture
Therapeutic Massage
This is my specialty and what I recommend to almost every first time client.  Allow me to utilize more than a decade of training and practical experience to create a session that will address your specific needs and concerns.  During a Therapeutic massage I draw from every modality available to me to create a unique and effective massage.

Thai Yoga Massage
An excellent bodywork modality from the east.  This style of bodywork sometimes referred to as "lazy mans yoga"  involves deep stretching and muscle compression.  In Thai Yoga Massage we address the sen lines, or the energy channels of the body as well as the muscles.  The result is that you feel like you've just had a massage and done a great yoga class!  Thai massage is done fully clothed on a mat.

Prenatal Massage
There is perhaps no more special time to care for your body than when you are carrying a precious little one. In addition to easing the discomforts of pregnancy receiving regular prenatal massage can reduce the pain and duration of labor.  I love to work with pregnant women.  It is my honor and  privilege.

Ayurvedic Bodywork
Ayurveda, or "the science of life" is an ancient Indian healing system.  It comes from the Vedic scriptures and is the sister science of Yoga.  During an Ayurvedic Bodywork session warm herbalised oil chosen to support your unique constitution will be massaged into the body.  Special attention will be paid to the Marma Points and Nadis (energetic pathways in the body and the areas where they intersect).  The goal is to balance the governing principles of the body or Doshas.  The three doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Hot Stone Massage
One of if not my favorite treatment for a tight body and anxious mind.  Basalt River Rocks are warmed and applied to the body in long, smooth strokes to melt knots and release long held patterns of tension. Following use of the stones with therapeutic massage allows us to achieve a truly deep level of relaxation and repair with ease and comfort.
