Who do you work with?
People of all types, truly! All are welcome, and I will tailor my sessions to your needs. I work with a lot of movement injuries from training or physical activity, chronic stress and chronic pain. It’s an honor to support all bodies in need of care.
I really value the intake portion of the session, as I want to hear what your goals are so I can make sure to address your individual needs. During the session, I generally start with full body compression to gauge muscle tone and to introduce touch. Unless otherwise requested, I then use oil-based strokes, spending extra time and working more specifically on any areas of concern.
I may use passive stretching and range of motion as needed. I integrate heat into my sessions when appropriate, through heat packs or hot stones.
My goals are to manually treat any problem areas, and also invite the whole nervous system to relax, so that it’s more willing to let go of any tension naturally. Given this, sessions tend to be a highly effective mix of specific work and deep relaxation.
What should I expect?
Do you offer prenatal sessions?
I appreciate your interest! I don’t at this time, but perhaps I might at a future date.
How often should I receive
massage?
This completely depends on you and your goals. If you want to treat a specific issue and re-train the body, consistency is valuable. Chronic conditions develop over time, meaning that resolution also takes time. Every two weeks could be a good guideline. If you’re just curious what massage is like, feel free to come once!
I am biased, of course, but I think everyone can benefit from massage. I am a passionate advocate of it!
