I have been massaging over 9 years. I graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Southern California University of Health and Sciences in 2012 and I am state certified by the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC). In 2009, I received my B.A. in Dance with a focus in Movement Studies from Scripps College. During my undergraduate study, I studied mind and body connection and movement modalities such as Alexander Technique, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and Laban Movement Anaylsis. In 2008, I was awarded The Lucile Phillips Morrison Scholarship where I attended the Moving On Center School of Participatory and Somatic research in Oakland, CA to study Bartenieff Fundamentals with Peggy Hackney, and Alexander Technique and Somatic Therapy with Carol Swann. With my educational background, I use an integrated approach to customize each massage to the client’s needs. If you are coming in for a relaxing massage or in hopes of alleviating specific ailments such as trigger points and chronic muscular pain, I am confident you will feel better after the massage.
Massage
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle light massage that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system and cleans toxins, proteins, cancer cells, viruses, and dead cells about 20 times faster than the body is able to do on it's own. Once a large amount of toxins are eliminated, the body is able to relax more deeply and use it's energy more directly to regenerate the cells.
