Massage Modalities & Styles

My massage style is a Deep-Tissue/Relaxation hybrid. I have been trained in a variety of massage techniques, and I use a combination of them to facilitate change over time and leave you feeling better in your body. If you’re curious about trying something new, let’s do it! We’ll work together to figure out which techniques are right for you. This is YOUR massage! I will customize each session to be exactly what you need, every time.

Deep Tissue & Sports For those who experience chronic pain, or just prefer a deeper massage. Trigger points are manipulated to release tension, and restore muscle integrity and balance to the body overall. Using a combination of muscle flushing strokes and light stretching techniques reduces lactic acids and toxins, helping you spend more time enjoying life.	Active Myofascial Therapy For those dealing with limited range of motion, chronic injuries, recent injuries, or areas of constant tightness/stiffness. This style of bodywork is an active, rather than passive, style of work. We’ll work together to increase range of motion, and decrease stiffness and chronic pain. We’ll accomplish this with neuromuscular re-education, and strengthening of weak muscles, and stretching and lengthening tight muscles and fascia.	Swedish & Relaxation Need to relax and let go, or just zone out? Enjoy a light-to-medium pressure massage. Flowing connective strokes improve circulation, invigorate muscles, and relieve tension. The Swedish technique consists of long, fluid strokes that relax the nervous system, calm the mind, and soothe the body.
Thai Massage Thai massage is done while you are fully clothed. Be sure to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes. Thai massage is a great technique to bring balance and flexibility to the body. Applying pressure with fingers, palms, forearms, and elbows, we will work out tight spots and move in and out of yoga-like stretches.	Zen Shiatsu Bring balance and harmony to the body’s energy with Shiatsu. This form of bodywork uses acupressure points along the meridians (energy channels) to improve flow and restore balance. Techniques used are patting, shaking, pinching, rolling, firm broad pressure, and assisted stretching. This form of bodywork is done while you are fully clothed. Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
