My practice includes: Integrative Acupressure, Clinical Acupressure, Positional Release Therapy, Tapas Acupressure Technique, Tong Ren Therapy, Reiki, Reflexology, and more. I also see people for individual and group sessions for hypnotherapy. Integrative Acupressure as developed by Sam McClellan uses touch, finger pressure and gentle manipulation to stimulate the body’s own innate healing wisdom. Based on the oriental Healing System, it works with Acu-points along meridian pathways (without needles) to move energy and restore emotional and physical balance. It is also helpful for treating pain and tension of the neck, back and shoulders, stress, nervousness, chronic fatigue, PMS and a host of other imbalances. All treatments are performed on a massage table while you are fully clothed. Integrative Acupressure complements most other kinds of treatment or therapy. It is pleasant and enjoyable and will most likely leave you feeling relaxed and energized. I have been Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork Since 1993 I work from the premise that all things are part of a greater whole and in all the work I do, the emphasis is on cooperation and teamwork.

When all aspects of ourselves are in balance--body, mind and spirit--we express more of our full potential as loving, creative human beings. Body-oriented practices such as Energy Healing, Massage and Bodywork can quickly bring us back to our center, where healing and awakening happens. When we are centered, we experience peace, balance, clarity of mind and joy. Stress melts away, and solutions to problems arise effortlessly. We are present and fully alive. Each of us has a "healer within" that is our source for deep healing and renewal. My work is about helping people connect with this part of themselves and be centered. To come back home to themselves. Some people are born with a healing ability, or through traumatic experiences develop that gift. I also know that this is a skill that can be taught and enhanced through specialized training. I've had the good fortune to study with several masters of energy healing who taught me to work with a whole spectrum of life energies that support healing and awakening. Benefits of Star Energy Healing * sense of spaciousness, openness, peace * feeling balanced, centered * lightness and effortlessness * insight and understanding, mental clarity * increased energy & alertness * pain relief, ease * hopefulness * freedom Life Energy Assessment At our initial session I ask clients to stand up while I evaluate both the quality and quantity of their life energy. Using extended perception, I look at each energy chakra (center), the whole body, and each person's energy field. This pinpoints the best areas to focus on during the session to get maximum benefit. Inner Light-Fire Then, I teach each client an energy meditation that brings a flood of Inner Light-Fire right into their body to cleanse and heal. Many clients continue to work with this meditation like process at home, to further their healing work. At each additional session I introduce other energy meditation "tools." These include techniques to cleanse a person's energy field, energy chakras and body-mind consciousness.

Harvard Therapeutic Massage is a gathering of the most experienced and superior hands in the area. Good massage therapists and Reiki practitioners can be difficult to find, often work alone, and usually need over a week's lead time to get an appointment. HTM is changing this. HTM attracts only the best therapists. We coordinate our schedules so that if you need an appointment quickly, there will be someone available. Our mission statement says that "we few shall form a multitude." In other words, we believe that by working together we can provide much fuller, supportive services than we could if we worked by ourselves. Our goal is to create a healing, rejuvenating community. We believe wholeheartedly in the healing power of our treatments. We are pleased and excited about the positive changes that we have made in the lives of our clients and look forward to introducing you to the benefits of massage and Reiki. All of our massage therapists have Massachusetts licenses and our Reiki Practitioners are certified Reiki Masters. Each therapist is an independent contractor, with HTM providing the infrastructure. HTM was started in 1996 and has been continually growing to provide better services to our clients

I have been trained to work with and find the causes for neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, hand pain, hip pain, back pain, leg pain, foot pain, headaches and more. Knowing that postural habits are the usual cause for our pain and that every client is unique, I perform a free physical evaluation before your session, which is crucial to the success of massage therapy. Not only is my practice about the work, but it is of utmost importance to me that you feel comfortable and safe under my care. When you come for your first visit, I'll provide a one-page intake form for you to fill out. Not only will I consider the information you've written, but I will listen to what you have to say about your activities of daily living (ADLs) in order to get an overview of what repetitive strain you may be placing on your musculoskeletal system, including emotional stress which reflects in the tissues. After the physical evaluation, which doesn't take but 15 minutes or so, the session will begin. All pressure will be gauged to your comfort level. I'll explain what I am doing and why, unless, of course, you prefer peace and quiet... which I will respect. When the session is complete, I'll wait for you in the next room where I'll provide and explain your self-care instructions. There is no cost for the evaluation and self-care. You will be charged for the hands-on work only.
