REGistered Massage Therapy 

Massage therapy consists primarily of my hands-on manipulation of the clients soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health.

​

Massage therapy has a deeply therapeutic effect on the body that optimizes health and well-being by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented. There is a vast world of healing to be discovered within this modality to lead you on your way to embodiment.

I use my current knowledge of anatomy and physiology to combine traditional Swedish and modern Massage Therapy techniques with exercise and other therapies like Reiki and FST to treat my clients.

Fascial Stretch Therapy 

A unique system of manual therapy, which has proved to be highly successful in the treatment of common neuro-myofascial imbalances, disorders and dysfunctions. This method is recognized for restoring and maintaining healthy neurological, musculoskeletal and fascial systems. It includes assisted stretching which focuses on the muscles, joints, and connective tissue.

With my client on a treatment table, comfortable straps are applied to stabilize inactive limbs and body parts to facilitate complete relaxation and effectiveness. My priority above all is to calm my client's nervous system by synchronizing my movement and breath with theirs.

What makes this therapy different from other flexibility programs is that each stretch begins with a light traction of the joint being treated. This allows for a deeper stretch by creating more space in joint. The stretches increase range of motion of the joint and extensibility of connective tissues, using multiple planes of movement. It is pain free and relaxing.

This is an excellent treatment choice to improve flexibility & mobility, coordination of body segments, training recovery, injury prevention, and improve athletic performance. It is also excellent for nervous system health and therefore beneficial to psychological and emotional well-being. My clients benefit from this technique as it restores, improves and maintains mobility as well as contributes to pain reduction and holistic wellness as a whole.

Reiki 

Reiki is a Japanese energy work technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

​

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

​

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. I combine Reiki with both Massage Therapy and FST.
