Healing Techniques Offered

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is an ancient practice in which the muscles and other soft tissues of the body are manipulated by kneading and applying pressure to the body to help provide relaxation.
My massage sessions are tailored to each individual so every session is different and focuses on what the client needs most that day. I offer both relaxation and therapeutic massage and specialize in the modalities listed below.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to bodywork. It focuses on the bones of the head, spinal column, sacrum and the underlying structures. The main objective is to find restrictions or compression in these areas and use specific techniques to release these areas.

The craniosacral system produces a rhythm similar to that of the cardiac and circulatory
systems. This rhythm is thought to be the most ancient system in the body and is referred to as cranial rhythm. By “listening” to the cranial rhythm, the therapist can determine where lack of movement exists. These areas of non-movement are known as compression or restrictions in the system and can cause dysfunction and disease in the body if not corrected.

Each person’s cranial rhythm is unique and can differ from day to day, hour to hour depending on the emotional and physical condition of the individual. Variations to movement patterns often occur, especially in cases of injury or trauma.

Once areas of restriction have been determined, the therapist uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to release those areas and restore balance to the system.
