My interest in bodywork stemmed from studying anatomy and physiology, practicing yoga, and receiving massage throughout my first pregnancy with twins. After graduating from the Oregon School of Massage in Portland, Oregon in 2005, I have worked in a variety of settings including, a hospital, aruvedic spa, fitness center, chiropractic clinic, and currently a successful private practice. In 2010 I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Community Health Education from Portland State University, focusing on nutrition and womens health. I strongly believe in the bodys ability to heal itself and that massage therapy is one of the many paths to restoring health and wholeness to the body. I intentionally create a massage that will facilitate clients personal goals, be it injury recovery, personal growth, athletic achievement, or successful transition through a challenging chapter in their lives. In addition to massage, I am passionate about local organic food, community, yoga, hiking, and spending time with my three amazing children.
Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia in the body. It is used to release tension, alleviate sore muscles, and improve mobility. Techniques used in deep tissue massage include slow strokes, firm pressure, and friction applied across the grain of the muscles.This is a great massage for those looking for deep relaxation with a firmer pressure, or focus on a specific muscle group.
