Swedish / Deep Tissue
It is important to clarify that despite the setting of working on a floor mat, both Swedish and deep tissue massage modalities are a large part of my practice. Swedish massage is characterized by its kneading, rhythmic, and elongated strokes, aiding relaxation and improved blood circulation. Conversely, deep tissue massage targets deeper muscle layers, addressing adhesions and trigger points to alleviate chronic tension.
Traditional Thai Massage
Thai massage combines acupressure, yoga-like stretching, deep compressions, and massage to create a holistic massage experience. Thai medicine is based on elemental theory, which revolves around understanding and utilizing the elements present in both nature and the human body. According to this philosophy, comprehending nature is synonymous with comprehending the human body since they are intrinsically linked.
Structural Bodywork + Myofascial Release
This is a modality that focuses on addressing restrictions and tension in the fascial system. Fascia is a relatively recent term in the fields of anatomy and physiology, and its discovery has revolutionized the way we understand the human body and its movements. By coupling manual manipulation of the fascia with intentional changes in movement patterns, it is possible to affect the body in remarkable ways.
Scar Tissue Rehab and Repair
This unique modality employs a gentle and rhythmic touch, showcasing its effectiveness in mitigating the impact of surgical scars. I am proficient in the McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release technique which can be implemented as early as eight weeks post-surgery, contributing to a smoother recovery process. As with other modalities in my repertoire, this technique can be seamlessly integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan, fostering a holistic approach to well-being.
CBD & Topical skin products
Depending on your treatment goals, I can incorporate CBD cream, topical magnesium butter, or essential oils into your massage session. I use a high quality CBD massage cream that's packed with herbs - Arnica, Ginger root, Comfrey, St. John's Wort, Thyme, Devil's Claw, Chamomile, and Holy Basil, as well as essential oils.
