I have been practicing massage for more than 13 years. My training is through the Massage Therapy Training Institute, and I have continued to take classes each year in different modalities to be able to offer more to the people that come to see me. Using this knowledge, I am able to customize each session to alleviate and ease my clients’ problems through the healing power of massage.

Here are the main types of massage that I offer:

Swedish – This massage is a manual manipulation of the soft tissue by methodical pressure, stroking, friction, kneading, and compressive movement. It stimulates or tones the body, affecting not only the skin but also the musculoskeletal system and the circulation system. Massage brings renewed strength and vigor to muscles, nerves and organs which are suffering from the stress and strain of today’s living.

Muscle Release Technique – This is a unique injury therapy that combines compression, extension, movement and breath to give the therapist a tool to provide, in many cases, relief from pain in one treatment. With the Muscle Release Technique scar tissue is broken up, the muscle is lengthened, muscle memory is restored and relief from pain started immediately. Some of the areas this helps are: plantar fasciitis, chronic low back, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder and migraine headaches.

Craniosacral Therapy – This is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate the negative effects of stress on your central nervous system. You also benefit from better overall health and resistance to disease. Some of the areas this helps are chronic fatigue, chronic neck and back pain, scoliosis, emotional difficulties and stress and tension related problems.

Deep Tissue Massage – This technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It is used to release chronic muscle tension in the muscles. It usually is concentrated on more specific areas that are experiencing tension or injury. There may be some soreness duringor right after the massage because you are releasing toxins that have built up in the muscle. Drinking plenty of water helps eliminate some of the soreness.
