Custom Massage Sessions

Massage addresses muscle tension and chronic pain or stress. It increases circulation, revitalizing the body, and it directly engages muscles to encourage them to let go or to reconsider their patterns. It also increases body awareness in a fundamental way.

I utilize Swedish and shiatsu (Japanese acupressure) massage styles, interlaced with techniques of deep tissue work, passive stretching, and myofascial release. I often use heat during sessions to facilitate deeper work. Each session is customized specifically for the presenting issues at hand.

I tend to work very intuitively, listening to the body in what it needs. It’s not uncommon that I will land on areas of tightness or sensitivity that clients may have been previously unaware of.

As I address specific areas of tension, my goal is to be a steady, calm presence, encouraging the parasympathetic nervous system to activate, thereby allowing the whole body to naturally find its way back to balance.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my work, or to discuss if massage is right for you.

Reiki & Reiki-Massage

Reiki is a Japanese energy work system that involves the light laying-of-hands on different areas of the body. Reiki is often translated to universal life force energy. The practitioner facilitates the movement of this energy to help clear energetic blockages and to promote healing processes. Many people find reiki to be deeply relaxing.

It can be supportive for those who may be carrying a lot of emotions, or for anyone who is sensitive to traditional massage. It’s increasingly being used as a complimentary practice in medical centers for chronic conditions.

I’m happy to offer full reiki sessions as well as reiki-massage combination sessions.
