What type of massage do I give? I combine many techniques in my massage: Ayurvedic, deep tissue, Swedish, reflexology, energy work and aromatherapy using essential oils with gem and stone layouts. Each session is designed and tailored to your fit each individuals needs. I view massage is an art form and a modality of therapy that initiates and supports all healing processes.

What to expect:

I have trained myself into feeling into the subtle layers of the body. I find where your body is contracted and work into those areas and invite your body to relax. My intention is to clear away the blockages so that your energy can move freely through your body. When your body is open the energy can flow and thus creating vitality and health. My clients tell me they feel nurtured, peaceful and expanded during the massage. After the massage, they are invigorated and have more energy.

I can work deep tissue as in a sports massage, or I can be gentle as in a massage for an expectant mother, or anywhere in between. I will address your areas of need and also find other areas on your body that you may not have noticed.

I like to work in silence and encourage clients to drop into a place of deep meditation. My massage offers you a place to take solace and refuge into deeper states of knowing yourself. I believe that it is only when we honor fully and accept all parts of ourselves that we can truly heal.

My massage can also be used in conjunction with other forms of therapy you may be doing. For example, I am happy establishing a relationship with your doctor, acupuncturist or physical therapist and support you with your healing "plan".

Other applications for massage:

• Chronic pain: sciatica, shoulders, neck, back and jaw (TMJ)
• Sports or overuse injuries
• Recovery after a car accident
• Healing scar tissue and inflammation after surgery
• Carpal tunnel
• Pregnancy - I do a wonderful massage while you are lying on your side propped up with pillows and blankets
