The modalities currently offered include: 

• Therapeutic Massage - A treatment-based massage with focus on specific problem areas or injuries, may utilize a variety of techniques to release tension, reduce restrictions, increase range of motion, increase blood flow, and support injury recovery. 
• Relaxation Massage -  A Swedish style massage with light pressure and gliding strokes to release superficial muscular tension, reduce stress, and induce a state of relaxation by activating the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system. 
• Prenatal & Postpartum Massage - Therapeutic and/or relaxation-based massage with positioning modifications to support mom and baby. Reduces pregnancy-related pain, discomfort, stress, and anxiety. Improves mood, eases insomnia, and promotes better quality sleep. Postpartum massage supports recovery from birth - both vaginal & cesarean delivery, the transition into motherhood, and breastfeeding. 
• Sports Massage - A massage tailored towards athletes of any level, to help prepare for, or recover from, strenuous physical activity for optimal performance. May include passive and/or active stretching and targeted releases to support optimization.  
• Facilitated Stretching - Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF). PNF works with your natural reflexes to produce deep stretches that increase flexibility and range of motion by lengthening muscle fibers and increasing neuromuscular efficiency. PNF techniques include: hold-relax, contract-relax, hold-relax-contract. 
• Myofascial Release - Myofascial Release utilizes sustained pressure and trigger point therapy to target and release fascial adhesions - connective tissue that has contracted and become rigid, due to physical and emotional trauma, disease, or dysfunctional habitual patterns. Performed mostly without lotions/oils for maximum release.
• Reiki - Usui reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that can unblock the flow of universal life-force energy within. Reiki promotes feelings of relaxation and peace by clearing stagnant energy and helping to bring the body back into balance on all levels so it can heal. A reiki session may be performed with gentle touch or without direct contact. Distance reiki sessions are also available upon request. Physical proximity is not necessary for efficacy because this work takes place in the energetic plane.
• Sound Healing - Sound healing uses vibrational frequencies to synchronize brainwaves and induce a meditative state. Therapeutic sounds such as singing bowls and chimes may be added to a reiki session to compliment the energy work. 
• Holistic Healing - A blended offering of reiki + sound healing + massage, all in one session for holistic healing. Reiki helps to unblock and balance the flow of universal life-force energy within. Therapeutic sounds such as singing bowls and chimes compliment the energy work and induce a deeper meditative state. Integrative massage incorporates techniques from multiple modalities to address physical concerns. Each session is an intuitive mix of modalities, customized to your needs. 

One type of massage isn't right for every body, but trying to select the right service to address your concerns can be confusing. That's why I offer an "Integrative Massage" when booking, to take the guesswork out of it. We'll discuss which modalities will be the most beneficial for your needs and apply an integrative approach, customized to you.
