Since 2008, Natalie has received hundreds of hours of training in over a dozen modalities, along with thousands of hands-on hours providing mixed-modality therapeutic bodywork. She has worked alongside several doctors to provide complementary care for patients with integrative care needs. Working through several significant personal injuries has been a strong motivator for Natalie to find modalities that really work and have a lasting impact. Multiple car accidents, a severe Achilles injury, and several traumas have given her a passion to pursue all aspects of healing and offer what she has learned to others. Besides traditional massage modalities such as Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, Natalie provides Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage and Traditional Chinese Medical techniques such as Acupressure and Cupping. She is currently pursuing her Master's in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Massage Therapy
Swedish massage uses smooth, gliding strokes that engage superficial muscles with gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle and nervous system tension, and encourage circulation.Swedish massage is distinct from Deep Tissue massage in that Swedish massage does not address deeper tissues. Swedish massage focuses on superficial muscle fibers while encouraging blood and lymphatic circulation.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medical practice that encourages the smooth flow of qi throughout the body. In Western terms, regulating the qi can relate to improved nervous system regulation, reduced inflammation, supported digestion, balanced energy, better quality sleep, mental clarity, and pain reduction.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a technique that utilizes pressure points in the hands, feet, and ears that correlate with other regions of the body. This technique offers the relaxation benefits of a full-body massage, but limits contact to the feet, hands, and ears. This is ideal for clients with fibromyalgia or other conditions that tend to experience increased pain with traditional massage techniques.Reflexology is also a clothed-massage technique, for those who prefer this style of bodywork.
