I have been doing this work for 20 years and I have an absolute passion for helping people understand and reclaim the power of their bodies, to come out from under pain and dysfunction and into a body that is healthier, stronger, more fit, more free.

​

Painless Therapeutic Treatment

My talent and ability lie in the skillful, intuitive and patient application of myofascial release and deep tissue techniques, helping clients release acute and chronic tension patterns caused by injury or imbalanced postural function without causing them pain. Making deep tissue treatment painless takes time and focus, but working in this manner increases the effectiveness of treatment ––relaxed tissues not only respond better to manipulation, but the body will retain the changes longer, allowing clients the ability to build upon benefit in successive treatments. This type of work also makes deep tissue therapy available to more physically sensitive clients who might need clinical treatment, but normally avoid deeper styles of bodywork.

​

Relaxation and Wellbeing

While a more clinically focused session will also definitely increase relaxation, clients might not be looking for the intensity of a clinical session. By combining firmly grounded intuition and thoughtful, nurturing, rhythmic touch, my focus during these sessions is to relax the tissues and increase circulation, helping nourish the cells of your body and increase your state of wellbeing.

 

I bring everything I’ve learned to every session and use whatever techniques are needed to work with whatever presents. Traditions I have studied: Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue, Swedish, Trigger Point, Ostepathic Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Chi Nei Tsang (Taoist Abdominal Massage).
