As a massage therapist I enjoy the problem solving challenges of figuring out how to help relieve pain or free a tight muscle, increasing a client's range of motion. Using an integrative approach combining long, slow strokes that engage both muscle and fascia along with movements and stretches, I adjust pressure to meet the client's needs. This works to reduce anxiety and stress by providing a safe and comforting space to breathe and relax and enables a shift from being in the head, to a state of embodiment and grounded self awareness. Success in learning new skills and developing a deeper understanding of muscles, joints, fascial tissue and the nervous system and how they all interact and affect each other inspires me to keep learning. In my spare time I love mountain biking, paddle boarding, hiking and skiing. Recent classes include: 1) Advanced Myofascial Techniques - Sciatica & Disc Issues 2) Advanced Myofascial Techniques - Leg, Knee, & Foot Parts I & II 3) Brian Utting -Understanding the Somatic Nervous System & Proprioception
Massage
Long strokes across regions are used to intergrate the body as a whole. An integrated approach incorporating multiple styles and techniques is used to treat a range of issues customized to your needs at the time.
Lymphatic Drainage
This session begins with a 10-15 minute intake discussion that includes general breast health, your personal history, self care exercises to practice at home, treatment options, development of a treatment plan defining your goals, boundaries and obtaining informed consent. During the session, it's important for you to know that YOU are in control and may opt to pause, modify or STOP the treatment at any time for any reason. The most important thing is that you feel safe and comfortable at all times.
