Passive Relaxation Massage
If you’re looking for some time to yourself to zone out and not move a muscle while also receiving quality bodywork, this is the massage for you.
This session includes a lovely lulling blend of techniques geared to put you in a relaxing trance. My goal is to access the part of the nervous system that allows our body, mind and soul to rest and heal. My hope is you leave in total bliss, feeling lighter and ready to take on the world.
During our time together, you will receive a full body massage including head, face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, hips, legs and feet. I’m happy to devote more time to certain problem areas if needed. Pressure for this session will be based on the clients preference while maintaining calm and controlled breath.
Active Movement Massage
Do you experience chronic pain, numbness or tingling? Is there limited range of motion in one or more of your joints? This is the massage for you.
The session will require active participation from the receiver. The time will be spent focused on the muscle group that are related to the discomfort. I cannot guarantee a full body massage for these sessions.
The goal of this session is to find balance within the tissue and allow it to find a happy resting place to heal and restore.
I have additional training to treat ailments such as:
Carpel Tunnel
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
TMJ (jaw) pain or disorder
Low back pain
Sciatica
Shin splints
Plantar Fasiitis
Headaches
Whiplash
If any of these pertain to you, please let me know when we meet for your session.
Prenatal Massage
This prenatal massage aims to help momma feel relaxed and decrease stress. Studies have indicated that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, decrease symptoms of depression, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Massage is safe and very beneficial for mom and baby if done safely and correctly.
How does Prenatal Massage work?
My prenatal massage includes techniques that will relax the muscles and mind, encourage movement of trapped fluid, and relieve areas of tension in the neck, low back, hips and legs. With all the changes happening during pregnancy, a massage could be just what you need.
Prenatal massage focuses 110% on making mom feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. My massage table is wider than the average massage table, providing a solid and wide base to lay on. I offer a pregnancy pillow that is specifically made so that Mom can lay face down and not harm baby. I also offer side lying positions if that’s more comfortable.
My #1 goal is making momma comfortable, so if you have a personal reasonable requests to make this happen, please let me know! (scents, sounds, etc)
Cupping Massage
Tension within our tissue inhibits exchange of healthy fluids, which starves the tissue of vital nutrients. With this ancient technique, I use suction on the skin, fascia and muscle to encourage movement for fresh, healthy, healing blood to enter the tissue. The heat provided by the increase in blood flow warms the tissue, and in turn, creates a "melting" and softening of the tissue. This allows for muscle and bone restrictions to ease, and delivers an overall sensation of relaxation and ease.
The negative pressure draws out stuck, old, dead blood cells and toxins from the tissue in the process of replacing it with healthy blood. With this process, there is potential for a "Cup Kiss" to be left on the skin. Although this appears to be a bruise, it is in fact old blood brought to the surface where it can be filtered by the lymphatic system. A bruise is caused by trauma to the tissue and rupturing of blood vessels. Because of the "cup kisses", it is important to drink lots of water after cupping treatments. By doing this, you’re assisting in flushing the system and healing the tissue.

IntraOral Massage
This session focuses on the muscles of the head, neck and jaw. From the neck up, you will receive top tier TLC including massage of the scalp, face, neck, upper shoulders and upper chest. A gloved hand will access the jaw muscles inside the mouth for the most beneficial outcome.
I will apply light pressure to the muscles of the jaw, while also giving the inner cheek some gentle stretching and tissue work. Allow me to help ease pain and tension, as well as increase range of motion in a relaxing and comforting setting. If you suffer from jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction, restricted jaw movement, or just want some extra attention to this area, then this is the massage for you.
Infant/Child Massage
No matter what age, massage can be necessary and beneficial to our bodies. Children and infants experience discomfort from childbirth, growing and simple falls while figuring out how to use their bodies. Massage on children can encourage muscle growth, tone and awareness. These sessions are geared towards children from infancy to age 12. Parents are encouraged to join these sessions.
MyoFascial Roll Out Session
Do you wake up with a sore back, or a kink in your neck? Are you sore from exercise and want to learn how to better take care of your muscles? Then lets get you in for a Rollout session. I will teach you how to treat common ailments using tools in the comfort of your own home. These techniques are simple, effective and can be applied to any area of your body that is bothering you. This is also a useful technique to bring in blood flow, loosen up the body for the day and recover properly from workouts. We can focus on areas that bother you personally, or common areas that are most complained about. Don’t hesitate on getting yourself feeling better!
