A Blended Approach
No two bodies are the same, and no two sessions should be either.
Rather than following a single modality, I draw from a variety of techniques to meet your body's unique needs. Depending on your goals, your session may incorporate Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, gentle stretching, and Ayurvedic-inspired principles and aromatherapy.
Deep Tissue
Slow, intentional pressure that works with the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to address chronic tension and areas of persistent holding. While more focused and targeted, it is always applied with care, working in collaboration with your comfort and nervous system.
Swedish Massage
A classic massage using long, flowing strokes to calm the nervous system, encourage circulation, and ease muscle tension. Gentle, grounding, and deeply restorative, it provides the foundation for many of my sessions.
Myofascial Release
Gentle, sustained pressure that works with the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles throughout the body. By slowly engaging areas of restriction, this approach encourages greater mobility, ease of movement, and lasting relief from chronic tension.
Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle, subtle technique that works with the rhythms of the nervous system and the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Using light, attentive touch, it supports the body in releasing deep patterns of tension and shifting into a state of rest and regulation. Many people experience it as profoundly calming, helping the whole system settle and restore.
Ayurvedic-inspired Aromatherapy
Rather than simply choosing a scent you enjoy, each handcrafted blend is selected with intention. Inspired by Ayurvedic principles, we choose an essential oil blend that complements your unique constitution and supports what your body may be needing that day.
