Massage Techniques
I'm experienced in Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage, and Reiki.
Swedish massage: focuses on the skin and muscles close to the surfaces of the skin. Swedish massage is ideal for helping clients relax, encouraging the proper functioning of your circulatory and lymphatic systems, and warming the tissue before Deep Tissue massage is attempted.
Deep Tissue massage: focuses on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of your body. Deep Tissue techniques help me get in close contact with muscles of your body to help them release tension they may be holding. Some people who have had deep tissue think it has to hurt to be effective. It does not have to be this way. We will work together to be as effective as we can while keeping your discomfort to a minimum.
Reiki: (pronounced “ray-key”) is an ancient technique for stress reduction and relaxation that can promote healing on all levels- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It is based on the idea that an unseen life force or energy flows through us. If the life force is depleted, blocked or unbalanced, we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed. Reiki is administered through hand placements on or just above the body. It is noninvasive and involves light touch on a fully-clothed person. Reiki can be a helpful adjunct to more conventional medical, psychological, or spiritual care.
