This form of massage aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in your body. Deep tissue massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to repetitive motions, misalignment and lingering prior injuries. Deep pressure on specific areas helps reduce muscle tension, increases range of motion and releases lactic acid build up. Open communication is key here, in finding the line where the deep pressure is helping and not hurting or causing more pain. Keep in mind that soreness can be common after the treatment. Plenty of water should be taken in to aid with the flushing out and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue in your muscles during the session.

This form of massage therapy is where heated lava stones are both placed stationary at specific sites on your body, as well as used to actually massage your muscles. Both methods deepen relaxation, calm the nervous system and promote overall circulation in your body. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The combination of the heat and pressure enables reaching the deeper layers of your tissues. This century-old technique is used to deeply relax the mind, body and spirit.

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in your body. As a result, your body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, balance your chakras and restore your vital life force energy. Through gentle touch, I conduct the necessary energy force between us to activate the natural healing processes of your body. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain, to restoring physical and emotional well being. Reiki energy healing is known to help one's spiritual growth and emotional cleansing, as well as accelerate the body's self-healing abilities.

Reflexology is an ancient holistic healing technique that focuses on applying pressure to specific nerve zones and points in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet and hands. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

Swedish massage is a traditional European technique which is very relaxing to the entire body.

Does your home or office feel heavy or weighted down? Do you feel like negative energy in your space is making it difficult to thrive? Are you having trouble sleeping at home or focusing at work? All of these symptoms can be due to stagnant energy that’s been built up in your surroundings and can affect your mood and productivity. An invisible life force energy flows through everyone and every environment. When that energy flow gets blocked or accumulates too much negativity, it affects how you feel there. I can help clear your space and transform that dense energy into a much lighter one where the energy moves freely again, and your home or office is filled with a vibrant, healthy vitality.

This form of massage therapy is designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical, hormonal and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, pregnancy massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including comfort and emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved circulation and overall relaxation.

This form of massage therapy is developed specifically for cancer patients, either recovering or actively going through chemotherapy or radiation treatments. Cancer patients have a unique set of needs which require special attention and focused care. It's imperative that these specific needs are addressed to make sure that a massage is beneficial to their health and healing. Massage can be extremely beneficial to someone actively receiving chemotherapy or radiation, in counteracting the side effects of such treatments. It can reduce pain, relieve nausea, improve sleep and lessen fatigue, as well as alleviate the stress, depression or anxiety that typically comes along with fighting cancer. I focus my attention on creating a gentle, nurturing environment for you to relax into.

A specialized massage approach that focuses on the body’s lymphatic system with the goal of helping to maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance and immune functions. This very gentle form of massage concentrates on areas of the body where main groups of lymph nodes are located, such as the armpits, groin and neck. Very light pressure and long strokes are used to move the lymph fluid in a way that organs are able to effectively eliminate toxins and relieve painful swelling in arms and legs caused by lymphedema. Lymphedema most often affects people recovering from breast cancer surgery, other surgeries, radiation treatments and injuries.

Frequently
Asked Questions
-
I would suggest for you to wear loose and comfortable clothing on the day of your session. For a massage, I ask that you undress down to your comfort level, and for Reiki, you remain clothed face up on the table.
-
No, in general a massage should not hurt. If you are in pain during a massage, this actually can cause your muscles to sieze up, which in turn makes the relaxing effects more difficult to achieve. If the pressure is too intense, please speak up immediately so that I may adjust. But typically, I always check in with you at the beginning and throughout the session to make sure my pressure is just right for you. Sometimes you may feel soreness during the days following a massage, similar to that of a great workout, but generally speaking, you should not feel pain during or after your massage.
-
This is actually entirely up to you. I always follow your lead! Some people enjoy having a conversation during their massage but do keep in mind, the session is all about you releasing tensions and relaxing into the experience. Regardless of your prefence, please be sure to speak up during the session if there is anything you would like adjusted as in pressure, temperature, music etc.
-
I always say that is the best compliment! To me, it means that your mind and body are completely relaxed and you feel safe and trust your environment. It is very common for people to fall asleep during a massage and/or a Reiki session, since both are extremely relaxing. And if you snore or drool, no worries at all....I have seen this many times before and I do not judge! ☺️
-
In general, there are a few conditions that would prevent you from receiving a massage or Reiki session. If you are not feeling well, have a fever or a cold, or any skin condition that is contagious, please call me to reschedule your session. The first trimester of a pregnancy is generally considered off-limits for massage, as well as immediately after a surgery. Some intensive medical treatments can be contraindicated by a physician. If you have a serious medical condition and/or are undergoing active chemotherapy or radiation, and you are unsure if a massage would be safe for you, I would recommend that you speak with your primary care physician to get approval first. However, that being said, typically a Reiki energy healing session would be perfect for any instances when medically, a massage would be contraindicated.
-
Naturally, individual needs and preferences vary, but for most people anywhere between 4-6 weeks is a general guide to receiving regular massage or energy work. For many, it does depend on your level of pain, physical needs, emotional needs and of course your budget. But I highly recommend receiving regular massage or energy work to be part of your self-care regime. It's like a physical or spiritual tune up!
-
I always advise my clients that there is definitely a range of what to expect in how you feel after a massage or Reiki session. We are all individuals and respond to stimuli in different ways. Some people can feel very energized and focused after a massage or Reiki session, while others feel very drained and fatigued. Specifically for Reiki, some can feel nauseous or have cold-like symptoms for days afterward. This is the body's way of continuing to move the stagnant energy, and most often this occurs when there is something big or traumatic to release. I advise drinking extra water and rest, and overall just being gentle with your body for the few days after a session.
-
If you need to reschedule your session with me for any reason, please contact me as soon as possible to do so. As I understand that in life things come up, and situations change, I do ask for at least 24-48 hours notice. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your session, or fail to show up on the day of your session, this will result in a charge for the FULL amount of your session. Thank you for your understanding.

Traditional therapy or counseling is a long-term process that focuses on past issues and traumas, learned patterns of behavior and problematic beliefs. The goal is to work through painful feelings to resolve past issues and create a happier, healthier life. Life coaching on the other hand is a shorter-term process that focuses on clarifying specific goals and identifying obstacles and problematic behaviors that are a hindrance. The goal is to create a plan of action to steer towards those goals and achieve the desired results. Coaching is future-oriented and supports personal growth and evolution.
