Therapeutic Massage
This type of massage encompasses a wide range of techniques that reduce muscle tension and have a soothing effect on your nervous system. In massage lingo, the terms that are used to describe this type of massage are "Swedish" and "Deep Tissue". Swedish massage is essentially relaxation massage, and the deep tissue work that I do is slow and focused, without causing pain.
Prenatal Massage
If you are in the second or third trimester of your pregnancy, we will do the session with you lying on your side, supported by extra pillows to keep you comfortable. If you are in the first trimester it is usually not necessary to be on your side, but you can make that choice.
Gentle Touch
Often this may be most appropriate for an aging adult, but it can be for anyone that wants to receive therapeutic touch that is not focused on muscle tension release.
Cupping
Cupping has been used since ancient times to treat various health concerns. Today it is commonly used in Chinese medicine. During a massage, I use plastic and/or silicone cups to lift the tissue with gentle suction. This introduces space into the layers of your tissue, with the intention of softening and loosening.
Chair massage
Chair massage can be a substitute for full body massage when a table massage doesn't fit the environment, such as at corporate events or in group settings. In these situations, each chair massage is 10-20 minutes.
