Hands-on full-time for a decade, Val has cultivated deep listening skills and studied several eastern and western modalities with communities of interdisciplinary practitioners. Her massage style is greatly shaped by mentors and lineages from Tui Na and barefoot work, emphasizing the properties of fascia. Often, her work combines modalities which oscillate between tissue layers, using elements of myofascial, abdominal/diaphragm care, and craniosacral, to provide a journey-like experience.
Massage
Meridian Massage is a unique blend of Eastern and Western massage therapy techniques in one integrated session. Meridian Massage incorporates manual lymph drainage, acupressure, reflexology, energy work, and western massage techniques such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release in an integrated session to meet the client's needs. In addition to musculoskeletal concerns, respiratory issues, headaches, digestive concerns, and reproductive functioning can be addressed.
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, to reduce swelling and inflammation in the body. MLD is appropriate post surgically, for prenatal and postpartum care, and for general health and wellness. Longer sessions may focus on full body care while shorter sessions may be more targeted.
