Massage Services

Traditional massage therapy, including relaxation, deep tissue, sports massage, therapeutic, trigger point, prenatal and oncology massage.  This category is everything you can think of when we say the word "massage." 
Issues this session can help with:
Pain and Musculoskeletal Issues

• Back and Neck Pain: Helps relieve chronic lower back pain, "tech neck," and general muscle stiffness.

• Joint and Arthritis Pain: Eases discomfort and improves mobility for those with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

• Headaches & Migraines: Reduces the frequency and severity of tension headaches by relaxing tight muscles in the neck and shoulders.

• Sciatica: Relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve by targeting tense glute and lower back muscles.

• Fibromyalgia: Soothes widespread muscular pain and reduces physical tension.

• Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction: Alleviates jaw pain and improves mobility through myofascial release. 

 

Sports and Soft Tissue Injuries

• Strains and Sprains: Aids in the rehabilitation of pulled muscles and ligament tears.

• Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI): Manages conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow).

• Scar Tissue: Breaks down post-surgical scar tissue to restore tissue flexibility.

 

Systemic and Other Physical Issues

• Circulatory Problems: Boosts blood and lymph circulation, which aids in tissue healing and reduces swelling (edema).

• Digestive Issues: Stimulates intestinal movement to relieve symptoms like constipation and bloating.

• Sleep Disorders: Combats insomnia by melting away pain and decreasing anxiety, allowing for better sleep quality.

• Cardiovascular & Respiratory: Helps manage high blood pressure and can ease tension associated with asthma and bronchitis

I am trained in craniosacral therapy through the Upledger Institute. I offer this stand alone, 60 minute session for a relaxing and a full body rest.   

What to expect: using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more.
CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.

By facilitating the body's natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms.

This stand-alone session is 60 minutes in length and addresses neck, face, jaw, mouth, throat and any upper body constrictions. I have helped many clients who grind or clench their jaw.  Or clients who have injured their jaw and have their bite 'off' alignment. And those who may have been in an accident causing whiplash or trauma to the head and neck.  If we are working on a specific issue we may require more than one session. 
Key benefits of this work: 

​

• Pain Relief: Relieves soreness and knots in the muscles of the jaw (masseter, temporalis), neck, and shoulders.

• Improved Mobility: Loosens restricted fascia, which helps you open and close your mouth easier and extends your pain-free range of motion.

• Tension & Spasm Reduction: Alleviates secondary symptoms like tension headaches, "lockjaw," and ear pressure.

• Improved Posture: Addresses neck and upper back tightness that can cause or worsen jaw clenching and misalignment.

• Nervous System Regulation: Eases the stress and anxiety that often trigger subconscious awake and sleep bruxism (teeth grinding)
