My own healing of injuries from a bike crash Included massage therapy and Bodywork. I know first hand the process of recovery as well as how massage can help. In my practice I focus on the modalities that I have received most of. Some of the benefits of these include increased circulation, decreased muscular tension, promotion of healing, and states of deep relaxation and well being. Whether you’re wanting to decompress after a long work week, focus on the tension in your shoulders after extensive travel, increase range of motion in a frozen shoulder, or be at your best before or after your 10k run, my custom massages and variety of modalities can help. Massages are available in 60, 90, 120 minute sessions. Some circumstances create need and capacity for longer, more in depth sessions. Please ask me about 150, and 180 minute sessions to learn if this is a beneficial fit for you.

Deep Tissue
This massage technique uses slower strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly used to help with muscle damage from injuries. These advanced therapeutic techniques can lengthen muscle fibers and connective tissue. Many clients report increased joint mobility, as well as new-found liberation from painful holding patterns. Deep tissue sessions are often directed to specific tense areas such as neck, shoulders, back, and hips.
Full Body Combination
This full body massage is the most popular as it combines the kneading, and long gliding strokes of Swedish style massage with slower, firmer strokes, Accupressure, Reflexology, and Energy Work techniques to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making for a well-rounded session of relaxation and release. Pressure varies depending on the client’s preferences.

Lymph Massage is a therapeutic massage that promotes health of the lymphatic system with gentle strokes throughout the body.

If I had to choose just one modality of massage to receive for the rest of my life, this would be it. Receiving it regularly is a great way to ensure better health.
Shiatsu means “finger pressure” in Japanese. This Eastern modality releases tension and increases Chi flow by gently pressing upon points throughout the Meridian System and with stretching. The recipient wears comfortable clothing during the session.
