Restored Roots Wellness
2 Church St, Westbrook, ME 04092
Greetings I'm Malika or Mali for short. Before graduating from the New Hampshire Institute for Therapeutic Arts, I was involved in the fields of social work and mental health for ten years. This compliments my interest in approaching wellness as a holistic collection of key components. I take a mind-body approach when dealing with pain. My default style is slow and intentional calming your directly related nervous system to release tension while addressing the same within your muscles and fascia. The amount of pressure is adjusted to your preference. I believe active listening and empathy are vital to providing a restorative environment for the folks I work with. Every body is a unique one. I love continuing education to achieve professional versatility and also provide specific treatments to condition the Lymphatic and Circulatory systems. My experience with prenatal massage, cupping, hot stones and energy work can be added to the mix. I look forward to creating a customized session for you.
Massage
The therapeutic effect of heat relaxes muscles deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, massage stones provide a unique experience many find to be calming and centering.
Lymphatic Drainage
A gentle treatment that promotes healing as we direct lymphatic fluid towards your lymph nodes and their intended pathways. The lymphatic system is the part of your immune system that clears viruses, dead cells and fluid waste. This is different than a massage that addresses the muscular system. 45 min sessions are for follow up or targeted areas only.
