Craniosacral Therapy

Cranial Sacral Integration was included in my core curriculum at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. This modality works with the cerebral spinal fluid to help the body heal itself. The client remains clothed throughout this uniquely meditative session. The treatment includes a series of gentle holding positions to stimulate deep relaxation alleviate muscle tension, headaches, vision and hearing disturbances. The practitioner's touch allows the client's mind and body to focus and become aware of any issues and works to naturally unwind and heal.

Shiatsu

I've attended a continuing education course for Shiatsu at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. Shiatsu is a Japanese modality that is based in Traditional Chinese Medicine. "Shiatsu" actually means finger pressure - the practitioner uses finger, palms, and knuckles to assess the clients energetic state and rebalance "Kyo" and "Jitsu" in the body's meridians. The client remains clothed during the session and this modality is performed on a mat on the floor rather an a massage table.

Thai Massage

I've attended a continuing education course for Thai Massage at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. This modality also sometimes referred to as "yoga massage." Thai massage includes a combination of stretching, compressing, rocking, and pulling to loosen muscles and limbs. Client's remain clothes and the session is performed on a mat on the floor rather than on a massage table.

Yoga

RYS 200

I attended the Costa Rica School of Yoga for 200 hours of yoga teacher training in 2017. I have been a practicing yogi for over a decade and I have been instructing personal lessons for over 2 years.

Emma always greets you with her joyful personality and creates a very tranquil environment for the appointment. She always starts the appointment with a brief interview to determine any trouble areas and then proceeds to give an amazing massage! I cannot recommend her enough!

Emma is amazing. She assesses your body and moves right into those trigger points and place of stress that we hold in our body. She is a highly skilled practitioner.

I love my experience with Emma, from start to finish. She takes the time to ask about me and my issues and creates a plan for our session. Her added touches with hot towel on back and feet to wipe the oils and the eye cover with eucalyptus is top notch! I ask for FB med to firm pressure with some Craniosacral for my neck issues and I walked out feeling amazing.

Emma is a lovely and caring practitioner. She was well prepared for my initial visit having thoroughly reviewed my intake form. She followed up with good questions to understand my concerns and situation. The session was exactly what needed. She checked frequently on preference for pressure and areas of concentrations but also allowed me to relax and release. The hot towels and eye mask were a plus. Highly recommend. The studio is tucked in the back of a commercial building. Follow her directions to find the first time!
