Massage and Bodywork Sessions
With over 5000 hours of training and certifications from a number of different massage and bodywork programs, I draw on an array of techniques to address your needs. From years of teaching kinesiology and massage modality classes, I have an in depth understanding of anatomy and offer specific work to alleviate chronic muscle and joint pain. I also have years of clinical experience helping clients recover with sports injuries, whiplash, headaches, arthritis, surgeries, and accidents.
The type of treatment I give you will depend on your goals and your condition. I use a combination of following techniques:
-
Trigger point therapy and neural tension stretching for chronic muscle and nerve pain relief and recovery
-
Craniosacral for deep relaxation and pain relief
-
Lymphatic drainage for relaxation and revitalization

Neuromuscular patterning (NMP) is my specialty. It integrates bodywork with active movement techniques for better results. In a NMP session, I direct the client to do specific core muscle isometrics or movements to engage specific muscles while I do hands-on release techniques to lengthen overworking muscles. Working together with our active participation boosts effectiveness
and produces longer-lasting results.
The benefits of NMP include
-
improves body awareness and core engagement skills
-
realigns posture and cultivates economy of motion
-
relieves chronic pain from muscular tension
-
reduces and prevents repetitive-use injuries
-
improves joint flexibility and range of motion
-
improves dance and athletic performance
