If you need a vacation - to get away from it all *NOW* - this is the massage for you.

Long, flowing strokes interspersed with compassionate kneading techniques gently soften tense muscles and ease restricted tissues, helping your mind unwind into a deeply meditative state. The goal of this session is pure relaxation.

A one-hour full-body session includes work on the face, head, neck, chest, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet, and back.

Ninety-minute sessions include the work above plus glutes and abs (upon request) with more time spent on your neck and/or back.

A back, neck, and shoulders massage lasts about half an hour.

Do your shoulders (or neck or low back, etc.) need more focused, in depth attention than they would receive during a relaxation massage?

Myofascial & Deep Tissue Bodywork employs a variety of incredibly effective techniques to release the afflicted muscles and surrounding connective tissues, allowing your body to return to its normal range of functionality and comfort.

Please note that this is not a standard "deep tissue massage" (i.e., a full-body massage using heavy pressure for relaxation). Sessions are area-specific rather than full-body and tailored to meet each client’s individual needs.

Serious massage for the bodywork enthusiast!©

Billed as "the deepest, most luxurious massage on the planet", Ashiatsu is an amazing modality that combines the best of both worlds ~ as relaxing as Swedish, as therapeutic as Deep Tissue, Ashiatsu will leave you in a zone that lasts for hours after the session and continues healing for days afterward.

What it is: a full-body massage (1 hour) applied entirely via the therapist's impeccably clean, pedicured feet as s/he stands on the massage table or a nearby stool (never at any point *on* the client!). Then, using overhead suspended parallel bars for balance and leverage, s/he applies DEEP, sweeping strokes with the soles of his/her feet to stretch and elongate tense muscle mass, while the heel and ball of his/her foot are used to target specific areas of congested tissue (knots).

During the massage, the circulatory and lymphatic systems are passively but vigorously stimulated to re-oxygenate muscles and flush away cellular waste resulting in an overall feeling of relaxation and well-being. The most common post-session comments are, "Wow...!!" and, "...you were doing all that with your FEET??"

Ashiatsu is an optimal treatment for athletes, bodybuilders, and those with naturally large physiques, but is enjoyed by *anyone* of *any* size or gender who enjoys a comfortably deep massage as the pressure is varied according to the client's comfort level. If you have trouble finding a massage that's deep enough to be effective and yet still pleasurable, this is surely the massage for you!

For clients who enjoy the full-body Ashiatsu but need/want extra hands-on neck work, hour and a half sessions are best.

Hour and a half sessions are also recommended if the client is six feet tall or more.

Half-hour sessions are spent entirely on the back and shoulders.

A woman’s body undergoes many incredible changes during the childbearing year. Unfortunately, not all of these changes feel so great.

Prenatal and Postpartum Massage is designed to relieve the discomforts of impending and new motherhood by employing a blend of Relaxation and Deep Tissue techniques uniquely suited to meet the changing needs of each trimester, including the so-called “fourth trimester”.

I feel privileged to work with women during this exciting season of life. I have completed a rigorous, 32-hour, NCBTMB-approved, Category “A” curriculum for pre- and perinatal massage, which includes both written and hands-on practical exams.

In addition, I have more than 8 years’ experience working with both uncomplicated as well as special-needs pregnancies and will be happy to consult with your OB-GYN on any subjects which may concern either of you.

I am committed to safely nurturing you and your baby and look forward to our sessions!
