Myofascial Release (MFR)

A safe and effective modality for all body types and levels of therapeutic care. MFR makes a difference for people by helping them to become more aware and present in their bodies, allowing them to feel again and to go deeper into their healing.

This is not a massage but is a hands-on modality. MFR allows for better slide and glide between all fibers of connective tissue within the body, addressing restrictions in the fascial web as a full-body matrix, while connecting to the memories and energy stored deeply within that web. This is authentic healing at its best, dealing with traumas, mentally, physically and emotionally.

First session:  90 minutes minimum*

*Involves full intake, postural assessment, evaluation, therapy session and self care education

Therapeutic Massage (intuitive touch)

This treatment is a blend of MFR and soft tissue mobilization to best address the body's fascial restrictions while manipulating the soft tissues of the body for greater range of motion. This modality blends authentic healing with traditional massage techniques. 

The techniques used may include traditional Swedish, energy work, Deep Tissue massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Assistive Stretching, and elements of relaxation if desired. This is my most utilized technique for first-time clients or those more used to traditional massage; it allows for you to experience the multitude of my offerings while being exposed to something new and integrative for your body and nervous system.

First session: 90 minutes recommended*

*Involves evaluation, therapy session, and post-care education

Deep Tissue & Joint Mobilization

Deep tissue massage addresses the deeper muscles and tissues of the body by slowly moving through the superficial layers and sometimes beyond the visceral organs to release deep chronic tension. This modality involves trigger point therapy, manipulation of the soft tissues, assistive stretching of the body, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and joint mobilization. 

​

As a practitioner, I am also an educator. Deep tissue does not equal deep pressure. At times, there is slight discomfort or therapeutic pain associated with accessing the deeper tissues of the body. You will be guided to breathe into the spaces created, rather than "through" your experience. If you're looking to "get beat up," I encourage you to try a new approach, your nervous system will thank you!
