I generally use a combination of techniques to alleviate tension and pain, customizing each session to met the needs of each individual client. I choose from my "tool-belt" of experience in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, and Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is a modality in which I have two bars placed on the ceiling over my massage table, which look like upside-down parallel bars. I hold these bars for balance, stand on the massage table, and use my feet to deliver deep, broad, and thoroughly relaxing pressure to the back, glutes, and back of the legs. It's known as "the world's deepest, most luxurious massage" - so if you like heavy, relaxing pressure, then this is a modality you must try! I use Swedish massage to relax and flush out the body's tired muscles, and deep tissue to work specific areas that need extra or very focused and concentrated work. Hot Stone therapy can be used solely for relaxation purposes, or can be used intermittently to soften muscles and prepare them for deeper, more focused work. I also hold a certification in Lymphatic Drainage Technique. I have used this modality, with great results, at the request of clients with lyphodema, clients undergoing cancer treatments, and even clients in the final weeks of pregnancy - to reduce discomfort and swelling in the limbs. In addition, I have also been a certified Birth Doula, assisting pregnant women and their partners since 2006. I offer informational, emotional, mental, and physical support prior to labor and throughout the labor and birth process. In conjunction I also specialize in prenatal massage - working out those kinks in the back and easing those aches in the hips - pregnancy massage can be more relaxing that you'd ever imagine! I hope to continue to expand my knowledge in the massage therapy and am currently seeking additional training in acupressure and many Eastern modalities and well as more specific training in Neuromuscular Massage.
