What type of session do I need?

 

​For those unaccustomed to all this jargon, deciding exactly what type of session you need can be confusing and overwhelming. Read below to learn more about each service I offer and its purpose.

Therapeutic Massage is ideal for increasing circulation, energizing overused muscles and reducing chronic pain and tension. My massage sessions are strongly influenced by my Rolfing training and as such tend to be deeper and slower than typical massages. Massage requires the client to undress more and is great for those who are comfortable doing so. Learn more.

 

Cupping Therapy is effective at increasing circulation, reducing adhesions, increasing glide between layers of underlying tissue, scar mobilization and removing metabolic waste from muscles and surrounding tissue. I frequently combine massage and cupping to achieve even greater results than either modality alone. Cupping requires the client to undress more and is great for those who are comfortable doing so. Learn more.​

Rolfing® is great for creating more space and ease of movement between bodily structures. Primarily focused on connective tissue - fascia, tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints - it looks at the body as a whole and aims to achieve balance throughout the system. Rolfing is beneficial for chronic and acute pain, injury, accident and surgery recovery, as well as posture and alignment issues. Rolfing works on why something hurts, the root of the problem. These sessions are often performed while the client is fully clothed and are great for those who would prefer not to undress. Learn more.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): is a very light touch modality, working with lymphatic flow to decrease swelling and purify the body. Most sessions are done entirely face up with focused treatment to the neck, belly/abdomen and "groin.: MLD consists of "skin stretching” and rhythmic movements to aid in the movement of  stagnant fluid, detoxify the soft-tissues, flush toxins, and help maintain a healthy immune system. MLD is great for anxiety, fibromyalgia, CFS and general wellness and relaxation.

Facial Refresh: Includes cupping, gua sha and manual lymphatic drainage to the face, neck and décolletage. This 30 minute session will reduce puffiness, fine lines and sculpt your face, neck as well as promote an increase of collagen and elastin, brighten skin, lift and tone, boost circulation and reduce facial tension. Best when done cumulatively. Also good for those with allergies, migraines and TMJ.
