I take a a holistic body, mind and spirit approach to bodywork, integrating various modalities or using them separately depending on your needs.

deep tissue ~ thai yoga ~ swedish ~ craniosacral

polarity ~ sensory repatterning ~ reiki ~ quantum touch®

Receiving bodywork on a regular basis does wonders for your Body and Mind. You will see the positive effects in your every day life, resulting in overall health and well-being.

Useful for all of the conditions listed below and more, massage and bodywork can:

- Release chronic muscular tension and pain.
- Improve circulation.
- Cleanse the body of toxins
- Increase joint and muscle flexibility.
- Reduce mental and physical fatigue & stress.
- Improve concentration and mental clarity.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.

- Alleviate headaches and migraines.
- Promote better sleep.
- Clear emotional and spiritual blockages.
- Calm the mind.

As you continue to receive bodywork, you’ll find the sessions becoming increasingly effective, focusing on your specific concerns (physical, emotional, spiritual) and intentions. This will help you to become better connected to your true essence and approach life more balanced with increased health, deeper insight and broader vision.

Description of Modalities

Deep Tissue:
Deep-tissue massage consists of slower strokes and more pressure, targeting deeper muscle groups after first warming up the soft tissues.

Thai Massage:
The application of slow, rhythmic compressions and stretches along ten of the most important “sen” (the body’s energy lines) using the palms of the hands, thumbs, elbows and feet. Practitioners position the body into yoga-like poses and gently rock the body to more deeply open joints and facilitate limbering.

Swedish:
A blend of circulatory massage strokes promoting Bodymind relaxation. Long gliding strokes and firm but gentle kneading help to awaken muscles and get them to release and relax. It stimulates the lymphatic system and gets circulation flowing. As pain and tension in the body decrease, so does tension in the mind.

Craniosacral:
CranioSacral Unwinding is a therapeutic modality that uses light, gentle touch to connect to the craniosacral system - the core of our bodies made up of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that covers the brain and spinal column. The focus of this system is on garnering the healing energy within the body, which jump-starts the client's own healing ability and process. As a person's core energy becomes related to the work being done, the tissue and the consciousness reorganize around the highest intelligence in the body resulting in work that extends far into one's lives.

Sensory Repatterning:
A unique style of work, releasing barriers and restrictions that unconscious holding patterns impose on the body, improving the range of joint movement and bodymind relaxation.

Reiki:
Reiki is a healing technique which directs universal life force energy from the practitioner to the recipient for the purpose of relaxation, balance, well being & healing. Like everything in nature, our bodies are made up of vibrational patterns. When in a state of balance, harmony, & wellness our bodies are like old growth forests or pure, clear water: vibrant, energized, aligned, focused, thriving, alive. Any number of things (injuries, emotionally traumatic events, psychic attacks, cellular memory, conditioned beliefs & responses, our everyday reality, etc.) can impact & disturb our natural vibrational patterns &, over time, cause suppressed or blocked functioning in specific or generalized areas of our body & psyche, dis-ease, & even illness.
Through a gentle hands-on technique, Reiki restores balance to the recipient's energy field & promotes the body's natural ability to heal through working at the source of the imbalance, whether it is physical, mental, spiritual, psychic, or in the subtle energy fields.

Polarity:
This kind of work focuses on balancing the human energy system of the whole person, body, mind and spirit. Based on the understanding that our body is a web of energy connected to all that is, techniques are applied to let the energy flow freely and unobstructed through the chakras, grounding the Bodymind and opening it up to heightened awareness.

Quantum Touch®:
Quantum-Touch uses resonance and entrainment to facilitate healing. The practitioner raises his or her vibration and create a high level of energy. If that energy field is placed around an area of pain, stress, inflammation, or disease, that part of the body will entrain to the higher frequency and allow one’s own biological intelligence to do whatever healing it deems necessary.
