Deep Tissue Massage

$45 per 1/2 hr or $75 1hr

imageimageDeep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

These techniques are great for people with injuries or pain from :

  • chronic stress
  • car accidents
  • falls
  • headaches
  • rotator cuff injuries
  • overall muscular aches & pains
  • structural disorders such as : scoliosis, bone defects, joint defects, short leg
  • pain & inflammation related to arthritis & tendonitis

imageReiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health.

Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.


Trigger Point Therapy

$45 per 1/2 hr or $75 1hr

imageTrigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.

Trigger Point Massage works by accomplishing 3 things:

  • breaks into the chemical & neurological feedback loop that maintains the muscle contraction
  • it increases circulation that has been restricted by the contracted tissue
  • it directly stretches the trigger points knotted muscle fibers

Causes may include: abnormal bone structure, habitual postures, poor seating, repetitive motions in work environments, sustained postures, poor body mechanics with lifting, car accidents, whiplash & disuse

Chair Massage

$1 per minute

You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
