I practice a number of modalities and offer them in massage sessions either alone or in a blend with other modalities. Whatever your treatment goals, one or more of these modalities should help you achieve them.

Swedish Massage - The most common form of massage, Swedish massage consists primarily of gliding and kneading strokes applied directly to the skin. If you're looking for all-around relaxation, to relieve stress, or to help you bounce back from overdoing it on the weekend, this may be the massage therapy choice for you.

Acupressure - A light and subtle form of bodywork, acupressure involves finger pressure on specific acupoints along energy channels of the body. This modality is practiced with the client fully clothed and is great for general relaxation, to relieve pain, and to bring the body gently back into balance when you're feeling 'out of whack.'

CranioSacral Therapy - The most subtle form of bodywork I practice, this modality is practiced with the client fully clothed and is terrific for relieving chronic back pain, migraines, and other imbalances involving the head and spine.

Lymph Drainage Massage - Although the name of this massage technique may scare you or give you visions of some painful medical procedure, this is a gentle massage technique that works to assist your immune system, detoxify your body, reduce swelling and inflammation, and deeply relax you. This modality is performed directly on the skin but no massage creams, oils or lotions are used because no friction is created with the massage strokes.

Reiki - Practiced with the client fully clothed, this bodywork modality has no contraindications, or reasons why it's not appropriate. Since this technique works superficially with the energy system of your body, it cannot do harm regardless of the health conditions you may have. It's particularly effective for insomnia and restoring depleted energy, and has been found to decrease feelings of anxiety and depression.

Stone Massage - Becoming more popular in the last few years, there are different types of stone massage offered. This massage therapy technique involves the use of warm, hot and even cold stones applied directly to the skin along with massage therapy strokes using the stones as the contact between therapist and client. I use metamorphic stones that have been hand-selected from nature in my practice.
