Thank you for visiting my page. Are you in pain, have knots, tight muscles, recovering from injury, a trauma, or are you looking for energy work? You've come to the right place. I specialize in a comprehensive full body massage to reduce pain, increase mobility, and release traumas to bring the body, mind and spirit back to homeostasis. My customized massages begin with a check-in of your body through empathic scanning, Reiki with medium pressure, lite compression and myofascial work. After I assess your body I move to a rhythmic a Swedish/Lomi Lomi style, relaxing your body and preparing you for deeper work. Then I systematically and intuitively work deeper into the areas of need. Here I customize for you, techniques to release areas of hypertonicity, adhesions and trigger points, or direct healing energy to injured areas. I may utilize Intuitive Touch, Trigger Point therapy, Neuromuscular Massage Techniques, Polarity Healing, acupressure, Ortho Bionomy, transformation Reiki, sports massage, Pranayama/Breathwork and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. At times my massages are intense during the deep pressure work when adhesions (knots) release. So if you are looking for a massage that is simply a relaxing Swedish or just lotion rub with lite pressure please let me know in advance. My areas of expertise include, postural alignment, energy work, shoulder/scapular muscles, neck, forearms/hands, hips/pelvis/sciatic nerve, psoas release and thighs. Rest assured you are in good hands and elbows, intention, and energy. Massage stated for me as a young age. I started competitive swimming in the 5th grade, where massage became a part of my life and continued through college. We often traded massages with each other at practices and at meets, and received many from our sports trainers. In my adulthood, I continued to receive bodywork and physical therapy for my own physical issues over the years. All the while learning what styles and techniques I enjoyed receiving, and what worked on my problem areas. In 2005, I became certified in Traditional Usui Shiki Rhoyo Reiki and began providing intuitive massage incorporating energy work based on my personal experiences. A few years later, my path lead me to yoga and later in 2016, I received my teaching certificate in Alignment based Hatha Yoga. Eventually in 2019, I left the corporate world to pursue my passion fulltime by helping others with body and energy work. I received my State of California Certificate for Massage in 2021 and my Master Teacher Certification in Usui Holy Fire Reiki in 2023. My sessions also include the following at no extra charge: Aromatherapy on request, under table healing crystals, flannel sheets, heated table, unscented oil or lotion, heated massage studio, postural alignment coaching based on alignment yoga techniques.
