Mary Dennis - The Healing Arts
3701 Geary Blvd, 101, san francisco, CA, 94118
My name is Mary E. Dennis. I am a dedicated healing arts practitioner. For the past 19 years, I have been offering integrated somatic therapies and health education to clients in a private practice. Each bodywork session is individualized based on what I assess during the massage session. The peaceful energy of a shiatsu massage can soften and unlock areas of tension. The subtle yet profound effects of Craniosacral work allow the body to find a more balanced state. The warmth of heated basalt stones allow muscles to relax and increase the flow of fresh blood to constricted muscles groups. In most massage sessions, a variety of techniques and modalities are used to best address your needs. As a health educator, I look at the whole person and offer anything from stretches, dietary suggestions, to workstation body mechanics as a way to help clients maintain a sense of well being for body and mind. I am also a trained doula and have been fortunate to work with many expectant mothers and babies, offering massage and craniosacral work to both. Whether the massage session is 60 minutes or 120minutes, I bring years of experience and knowledge on how to allow the body to realign and re-energize itself.
Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort that may be experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
