Massage and Bodywork
In my massage sessions, I focus on using slow and relaxing Swedish massage techniques. I apply petrissage to relieve tension in key muscle groups and use long effleurage strokes to improve lymphatic circulation. My goal is to help you relax deeply, reduce chronic pain and stress, and leave you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
I employ the Neuromuscular Patterning (NMP) approach for bodywork, blending hands-on techniques with targeted functional movement exercises. This method effectively activates your core muscles, ensures optimal joint alignment, and helps alleviate chronic tensions throughout the body.
I will guide you through easy exercises designed to tone core muscles, improve joint alignment, and address the entire body pattern. As a result, you will experience improved core control, stability, and flexibility. When you leave, you’ll feel taller, more relaxed, and more deeply connected to your body.
I have a knack for finding those hard-to-get-to places and helping you solve movement problems that limit activities and cause chronic pain. By working together and actively participating, we can enhance the effectiveness of our efforts and achieve more lasting results. Call for a session today!
Craniosacral Therapy
The cranial sacral system comprises the brain, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid, and the fascial membranes that surround them. Cranial sacral therapy helps release restrictions in these membranes, allowing for improved circulation of fluids around the brain and spinal cord.
Traditional cranial sacral therapists use a very light touch. However, I use more pressure to mobilize the cranial bones, which expands and decompresses the sutures. This technique also stretches the myofascia in the head and neck, providing lasting pain relief. Additionally, I apply light neural traction on the spine and limbs to alleviate pain from conditions such as sciatica and brachial nerve pain.
Fascia is a vital connective tissue that lovingly surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ in our body. During craniosacral therapy, I work the muscles and fascia along with the craniosacral rhythm, which can offer profound pain relief, especially for those dealing with the challenges of complex PTSD or psychophysical injuries. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment, understanding how deeply these experiences can affect one’s well-being.
