While I specialize in pregnancy and postpartum massage, I do welcome clients who aren’t pregnant, too. I love helping people feel their best.

See my offerings below and see which is best for you. You can also feel free to reach out and I can help you select which may be best for you.

I create a calming, accepting, and comforting space, which allows you to fully let go and relax. Therapeutic circulatory massage is great for stress relief as it calms the nervous system and activates the parasympathetic nervous system ("rest and digest system") to promote healing. Gentle techniques are used to clear stagnation and increase movement of blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Upon request, I am happy to incorporate hot stones to help the muscles let go and create a deeper state of relaxation for your mind and body.

Deep tissue massage is extremely beneficial in releasing chronic tension, postural imbalances and holding patterns. A slower pace is used to allow the tissue to gradually let go, layer by layer. I use my elbows and forearms to sink deep into the muscles to create a “hurt so good” feeling rather than any pain or resistance. I will encourage you to breath deep to give your muscles permission to let go. For those who are active or recovering from an injury, I incorporate a blend of positional release techniques, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching (PNF), broad cross fiber and deep transverse friction to break up scar tissue and holding patterns. My more focused techniques will increase range of motion, release holding patterns and lengthen specific muscle groups to create balance and free mobility.

NMT is one of my favorite techniques because it is so productive, transformative and long lasting. NMT addresses muscle spasms, chronic tension, nerve compression or entrapment, postural imbalances and past injuries or car accidents. NMT techniques work to break the pain cycles of the nervous system by releasing myofascial trigger points which are hyperirritable points within bands of muscle tissue or fascia. Many trigger points develop in ischemic tissue, where there is a constriction of blood flow. This lack of proper blood flow, oxygen and nutrients to the muscle causes spasm and pain. Referred or radiating pain is a common characteristic of a trigger point. To release these points, I will hold a steady pressure on the point for about 15 seconds until you feel a change. This change signifies a release in the contracted tissue and "deprogramming" of that repetitive pain cycle. Weekly sessions are highly recommended for the first few weeks to “re-train” the nervous system so it does not return to its old painful patterns. Once your pain is relieved, self care or minimum sessions are needed to maintain that “re-educated state” of the muscular and nervous systems.
