I graduated from the Cortiva Instiute in Newington,Connecticut in 2018. Since then, I have received continuing education in prenatal massage, Thai on the table and orthopedic assessment. My approach to massage is to flow through our time together adding transitioning between each stroke to allow my client to enter a dreamy state regardless of pressure. Using my knowledge of orthopedic assessment, deep tissue, table thai massage and acupressure I customize the session to my clients needs. I love doing yoga in my free time so I try to incorporate stretching into my session as well as give my clients yoga postures that may benefit them.
The best of the worlds relaxation techniques, Swedish massage consists of light to medium pressure strokes, to lull the body into a function very close to sleep. In this state, the body is given the perfect opportunity to melt down any tension, and trigger the body's reparation response.
