Thai massage works primarily by manual compression coupled with the mobilization of your limbs. This allows the work to reach deeper into your joints and aligns the extremities with your core. Practitioners use their feet, elbows, knees and hands during the session and move your body through different positions and stretches. Breath work accompanies these stretches, which often look like a form of passive yoga. This modality is perfect for active or retired athletes, and also those which might find it hard to "relax". This style is done fully clothed and on a mat positioned on the floor, and is perfect for clients who find conventional massage inaccessible or uncomfortable.
Using the proper tools and techniques, I can provide Fasciablasting to help improve your body's natural healing ability or guide you to properly blast yourself for the best results at no extra charge.
Fasciablasting is a specialized bodywork modality that targets the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. This technique is ideal for both old and acute injuries, as well as a highly effective tool for improving a variety of aesthetic and functional concerns, including pain relief, flexibility, and skin tone. It can also help with lymphatic clearing, aiding in the removal of toxins and reducing swelling.
In addition to direct bodywork, I can guide you in understanding self-care practices and teach you how to properly apply these techniques on yourself or on those you care for. This knowledge empowers you to maintain your body’s health and mobility between sessions.
Proper Fasciablasting stimulates your body to utilize collagen, and hyaluronic acid, repair elastin, and release stem cells which are all essential for tissue repair, reconstruction and regeneration. By encouraging these natural processes, Fasciablasting can promote healing for chronic and acute issues and improve both the appearance and functionality of your tissues.
Swedish Massage is designed to gently melt away muscle tension and promote overall relaxation using lighter pressure. The primary goal is to increase blood flow to the heart, which in turn helps improve circulation throughout the body. Swedish massage is extremely relaxing, as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and enhances mobility in a subtle, passive way. This type of massage is perfect for those seeking relief from stress and general muscle tension while promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation.
Deep Tissue Massage, on the other hand, targets the deeper layers of fascia and muscle tissue. It is specifically designed to break down muscle "knots" and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage focuses on structural integrity and uses techniques like elbow pressure to work deeply into the muscles. While deep tissue massage can bring lasting relief from chronic pain and tension, it’s normal to experience some soreness afterward as the muscles undergo deep restructuring. It’s important to follow up with proper self-care, such as hydration and gentle stretching, to avoid injury. In my practice, anything that involves the use of elbow pressure or works on structural realignment, such as "popping" ribs into place or adjusting bones, is considered deep tissue regardless of the pressure applied.
Done with light, rhythmic touch on the surface of your skin without the use of lotion or oils, MLD is specifically focused on encouraging movement in the lymph system.
Listed below is a breakdown of its many benefits.
Reflexology is based on the theory that all of our parts and organs are connected to the nerve endings on our hands, feet and even the ears and face.
When massaging certain points we are able to stimulate the corresponding areas of the body. It is a great modality for those who frequently use their hands for work, are on their feet all day, or who feel overwhelmed by too much touch but want to relax. Deep discount if this is your only desired modality.
Increased blood circulation promotes healthy skin and hair, relives TMJ, migraines and headaches, and is proven to lower blood pressure. It can help with seasonal allergies and even improves your quality of sleep.
I use a specialized technique to soften tension around the scalp.
Prenatal massage is light and therapeutic, helping ease the strain of child bearing on the mother's body and mind.
Trained for services during first, second and third trimester massage.
Massage geared towards supporting fertility, labor inducing acupressure for those past their due date,
and immediate post-natal massage for the abdomen and hips.
Research also shows that massage can reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and support immunity. During treatment, oncology massage can help address the side effects of radiation, surgery and chemotherapy.
Adapted therapeutic care for children, and very young adults, helps with growing pains and aids the body when developing.
Geriatric massage can help ease nerve pain, fatigue, swelling, muscle tension and limitations in range of motion. It is appropriate for older individuals who need a lighter touch.
Sports massage is used for athletes that regularly train their bodies. It is generally more intense and could be a shorter session.
Cultivated in my private practice with a retired body builder who clocked over 600lbs on the scale. Anyone who power lifts or body builds would benefit from this modality. It is a variation of Thai massage utilizing steady rhythmic application of touch, without ANY lotion or oil, which rocks the body, and is appropriate for those who have difficulty laying on a table due to height or size. Will be the modality that will be preformed if client is above 350 lbs.
A generous application of CBD + CBG Balm with Arnica to focus areas, with CBD Lotion AND Oil to the whole body. Promotes a heavy relaxation that suits those going through chronic pain and/or stress.
I like to call this the Grand Slam because that's about as relaxed and content it'll get you.
Hundreds to thousands of mg may be applied and consideration for activities following this treatment is seriously recommended.
