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, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.   I use a variety of techniques throughout my massages, based on what I find is going on in the tissue.  Therefore, all my sessions are priced the same.

I have developed my own form of energy work that uses some aspects of Polarity (balancing the energy in the body by applying light pressure with the fingers or heels of the hands to bring the pulses of the two points into harmony with one another) and Cranio-Sacral Therapy (a gentle hands-on treatment method that alleviates restrictions to physiological motion of all the bones of the skull, as well as vertebral column, sacrum, coccyx and pelvis. It, also, focuses on normalizing abnormal tensions and stresses in the spinal column).  I work largely by intuition, but also communicate with my client so that they can lead me to areas where they feel referred pain or restriction.  It is kind of a "connect the dot" idea.  This work is great for people who can't stand alot of pressure, or are fragile because of illness.  Do NOT underestimate the power of this type of work!  I have had clients receive as much benefit from this type of work as from Deep Tissue work!  There is a misconception amongst massage clients by which they think if the therapist isn't "digging deeply" into their body, they aren't getting a good massage!  WRONG!   I use a variety of techniques throughout my massages, based on what I find is going on in the tissue.  Therefore, all my sessions are priced the same.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.  I use a variety of techniques throughout my massages, based on what I find is going on in the tissue.  Therefore, all my sessions are priced the same.

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.   I use a variety of techniques throughout my massages, based on what I find is going on in the tissue.  Therefore, all my sessions are priced the same.

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.  I use a variety of techniques throughout my massages, based on what I find is going on in the tissue.  Therefore, all my sessions are priced the same.

Stretch specific muscles using an "anchor and stretch" technique.  I use a variety of techniques throughout my massages, based on what I find is going on in the tissue.  Therefore, all my sessions are priced the same.

Massage Cupping is a modern adaptation of the ancient art of cupping therapy.  While massage is performed by applying pressure, cupping instead uses negative pressure (suction) to pull, lift, open and expand the body's soft tissues. 

I use a wide variety of therapies depending on what is going on in your tissues.  For this reason, I charge the same for all of my types of bodywork.

Ear candling, also known as ear coning, is a practice that has been around for centuries.  During the process of ear candling, the pointed end of the candle is placed in the ear, while the other end is lit on fire.  The warm heat transfers down the cone into the ear softening the built-up earwax.  Later a gentle vacuum is created by the cone and the built-up earwax is gently pulled into the cone.  It has been said to provide many benefits, including reducing pain from headaches and wax build-up removal.  One candle is used per ear in a regular session, and each ear takes 15 minutes to complete.  You can request more than one candle per ear depending on the severity of the build-up in your ears and would be charged additionally, provided I have the additional time in my schedule to accommodate you.
