Massage Treatment Options:
Deep Tissue Massage:
I’m known for my ability to work with very deep pressure, yet honing into exactly where and how your body needs it. Extensive anatomy & physiology knowledge, combined with listening hands and years of training means patients get lasting improvement without bruising or increased pain afterward. My focus and experience has largely been in clinical massage; working with your healthcare team within parameters of referrals, providing detailed charting and reporting progress.
Recovery Treatment:
Whether recovering from an injury or post-surgery; I can help speed & improve the process. Carefully checking in with and adjusting to the severity of the stage your body is in, I can modulate approach using gentle techniques like Neuromuscular Technique, Structural Release Therapy, Neurofascial Approach, or Circulatory Massage, to working apart scar tissue with very specific Deep Tissue Massage.
Pain Management:
14 years of continued development around relevant neurology, endocrinology, kinesiology, anatomy & physiology plus a wide variety of treatment techniques in my toolbox enables me to tailor pain management plans to each unique individual. Whether you suffer from osteoarthritis or migraines and need relief from resulting symptoms, or are recovering from an injury or surgery and need help speeding recovery as well as pain relief, we can develop a plan together to get you feeling better.
Stress Management & Sleep Help:
The mind and body are very integrated! Science discovers more and more how stress negatively effects muscle tension, pain levels, digestion, sleep, and the body’s ability to navigate duress. Gentle Massage techniques such as Swedish Massage, Neuromuscular Technique can address where your body may be physically holding that stress while stimulating the hormones that help sleep (which then also helps healing), and mood.
Movement Improvement:
If you get neck, shoulder or upper, mid or low back, knee, ankle or foot pain, slouching shoulders, balance issues or restricted range of motion; I can help. My years in dance -including dance teacher certification and teaching & directing troupes enables me to combine massage with stretch, strength & neuropathway ‘homework’ suggestions to help balance the support of your joints and break postural and movement habits that put you back in that ongoing pain, stiffness and ‘stuckness’ cycle.
Pregnancy and New Parent Massage:
Whether Mom is having back, sacrum, hip or shoulder pain during pregnancy, or neck and upper back pain due to breast feeding or baby carrying; I prenatal and postnatal training and experience to provide safe relief for any stage of your journey. As a mom myself, it’s a personal pay-it-forward passion!
