While there are so many things asking for our attention and energy, it seems our body's care is one of the things we easily forget to prioritize on our list! With this in mind I combine elements of my favorite modalities into almost every session to create relaxation,  and tension relief, with the end goal of each person being able to move more pain free and happily in their body! Starting with Swedish massage techniques I incorporate trigger point therapy's approach to releasing trapped and stored tension in the body by following the breath to safely work the deeper muscle groups that influence our posture and daily movement mechanics. I also enjoy applying cranial sacral therapy techniques to help quiet the mind and release tension in the neck. Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on massaging technique. It uses a light touch to release tension around your body’s connective tissue network called the fascia. CST promotes pain relief from headaches, neck pain, and enhances the body's sense of overall balance and well being!  I specialize in working with clients who experience pain in their necks or backs.  My goal is to help relax tired, overstressed muscles that are pulling bones out of alignment and bring them back to a more natural, healthy and flexible state. You'll be surprised how quickly we can work together to make measurable improvements and get you feeling better.  When I am not doing massage I enjoy making my own herbal tea blends and other healthy elixirs and tonics!
