Therapeutic Massage

Skillful Bodywork Customized To Your Needs, Applied Intuitively with Attention To Detail

Deep Tissue + Myofascial Release + Cupping + Visceral Massage + Deep Relaxation

​



My bodywork approach strikes a balance between deep, detailed, exploratory work and deeply

relaxing touch. The work of resolving trigger points, taming tension and unraveling myofascial restrictions is greatly enhanced when interwoven with nurturing and soothing touch that

supports nervous system regulation.

​

A couple of my favorite client quotes:

“I’ve never had a massage that was so effective and also felt so good”

and “your touch is gentle and yet I feel it so deeply”. Yes!!

​

I have years of experience supporting folks living with persistent pain, work related tension,

 orthopedic injuries or surgical recovery, chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, as well as, emotional and psychological stress that's taking a toll on one's

quality of life and well-being.

​

Nurturing a sense of safety and calm is at the heart of my approach whether addressing mechanical or emotional needs and I strive to create the conditions that promote vitality, balance and your body's innate ability to heal itself.

Visceral massage is a powerful and versatile modality that

benefits from some explanation.

Visceral massage pertains to the organs and myriad structures within the abdomen. This work is gentle, but potent and includes both the major organs of digestion but, more importantly, the rich connective tissue, lymphatic, vascular and nerve relationships within the abdomen. Visceral massage supports increased organ mobility through visceral-fascial release which correlates to improved function. Working with the viscera also has profound effects on the vagal system

and is incredibly relaxing and regulating for the nervous system. The vagus nerve innervates

the majority of the abdominal organs and is a critical component of our parasympathetic

nervous system(think rest and digest).

Conditions and symptoms that can be addressed:

* Digestive issues and organ dysfunction: heartburn/acid reflux, SIBO, abdominal pain and cramping, constipation/diarrhea, general disharmony in the digestive tract, hiatal hernia, swallowing issues/apnea, shortness of breath, headaches/brain fog,

liver related issues, gallbladder function, scar tissue

* Pain Patterns: It is common for myofascial pain patterns to have a visceral component. This work can be powerful for pain arising from the low back, hips, thoracic spine, shoulder and jaw.

* The abdomen is a storehouse for our emotional experience: Enhance vagal tone to support nervous system regulation and address anxiety and insomnia.
