All of the modalities below are performed on a fully articulating electric massage table, with a table heater to prevent chills.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage, sometimes known as Swedish Massage is a light to medium pressure, less invasive form of massage. It helps alleviate stress and anxiety with a meditative like massage.
Deeper Work
My deep tissue Massage is a focused Massage style, working all the muscle layers from superficial to deep. It helps release the restrictions in the deeper muscles of the body that may be causing chronic pain. Deep Tissue Massage can address dysfunctions relating to poor posture, stress, and repetitive stress injury, headaches etc.
Light Touch Therapy
On the other end of the spectrum, I specialize in a modality called Light Touch Therapy. It involves a very soft predictable pattern of movement across the body which is very relaxing to some. Clients who enjoy this tell me it reminds them of 'mothers touch" and that it feels caring and nuturing.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot stone involves adding heated hand selected basalt stones to the massage. They are moved across the body with plenty of oil, and help relaxation by substituting heat for pressure.
Reflexology
Reflexology uses gentle mini-massage movements covering the whole foot and ankle. All the body's nerve endings finish on the foot and these reflexes can be stimulated using reflexology. This has the effect of treating the whole body, including the mind and the emotional state within the same treatment. Reflexology may be for a specific condition but it is equally good for general relaxation and a feeling of contentment.
