I am a licensed massage therapist, trained in shiatsu and western massage. I’ve spent many hours taking continuing education in deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, positional release, and myofascial release since receiving my license. My training and expertise in massage creates an experience that can potentially revitalize your mind and body.
Some people may be hesitant to try massage. But massage can be truly beneficial in your life. I take the time, usually 15 minutes per session, to find out what matters to you and learn what your expectations are. Personal connection is important to me, so I don’t offer a “standard” massage. My goal is to make you comfortable and give you a massage that improves your well-being.
Please call me to discuss your personal wellness needs.
Shiatsu is a traditional form of Japanese acupressure massage, based on the same principles as acupuncture.
Shiatsu is “clothes-on” form of massage: you’ll wear loose, comfortable clothing. Shiatsu restores the flow of energy, or ki, by gentle massage and pressure along meridian or energy channels. This allows relaxation on deep levels and opens the way for the body’s own healing mechanism to restore natural order.
Techniques to restore balance include pressure, stretching, rocking, and body awareness.
Massage relieves muscle aches while increasing relaxation and a sense of general well-being. It increases the oxygen flow in the blood and releases toxins from the muscles, reducing both emotional and physical stress.
Techniques are a blend of Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, positional release therapy, and myofascial release. I’ve been trained in a variety of modalities (different types of massage) and can tailor each session to your needs.
You will be draped in a sheet for warmth and modesty at all times.
