Why I became a Licensed Massage Therapist
I consider it an honor to be able to provide professional touch in a way that is soothing, relaxing and regulating to muscles, fascia and nervous system. In 1999, I went to massage school as a way to "fill in the gaps" while I pursued my theater arts profession. What I soon realized was that massage therapy and the associated bodywork fields were exactly what I was seeking in a career.
Just as the body is the actor's instrument and must be taken care of and finely tuned, the physical body for the rest of us, is just as important for enjoying life and feeling energized to be ready for whatever life may bring.
How I approach Massage Therapy
The power of touch is well studied from being vital for infant growth to helping reduce cortisol in mid-life. We all come to a massage therapy session with our personal touch history. I take the professional touch relationship seriously in order to help my clients feel safe, listened to, and be able to drop down into a restorative place.
Your session will include comfortable draping with a sheet, a blanket for warmth if needed, and light music if you choose. I use oil or lotion with natural ingredients and very little to no scent. My office room has natural light and beautiful plants that keep us company.
After you fill out your intake form, we will discuss the session for the day and how I can help you with your therapeutic goals.
My style of Massage Therapy
Giving massage is like a dance and the massage strokes flow slowly to caress, connect and support your joints and limbs. I am sensitive to the integrity of fascia and the beautiful supportive matrix, so I use appropriate pressure for the structures that I am working with. If a trigger point pops up, we can spend some time to deactivate it, always working within your comfort level.
The feedback I receive from my clients is that my massages are not too deep, but deeply affecting.
It is important that you speak up during your massage if you are uncomfortable or would like something changed.
