Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Movement Restoration and Education
My approach to movement restoration is a combination of therapeutic massage combined with gentle passive range of motion allowing the body to open up, move freely with less restrictions upon leaving the session. I take a holistic approach to movement restoration considers the body, mind, and overall well-being rather than focusing solely on physical recovery. I am not a yoga instructor, although I favor the practice in that it integrates techniques that promote balance, flexibility, strength, and mental resilience.
Functional movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience with self-awareness of movement.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction or decompression technique is believed to release "stuck" facia, relieving muscle tension in turn increase range of motion in the joints, helping improve blood circulation, and promotes a deep relaxation to the body. The therapy can be done using glass, silicone, or bamboo cups, and practitioners may use either dry cupping (simple suction) or wet cupping (which involves small incisions for bloodletting). I favor dry cupping with the use of silicone cupping in a gliding motion or stationery. Many people turn to cupping for pain relief, stress reduction, and even detoxification. Though scientific research on its effectiveness is still ongoing, cupping has been used for centuries in traditional medicine across various cultures, particularly in Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Egyptian healing systems.
With favorable outcomes, clients request this therapy for many purposes, including to help decrease pain and inflammation, acting on the lymph system this therapy increase blood flow and detoxifies the body, promoting a deep relaxation and feeling of well-being. This therapy is considered a deep tissue massage.
