Bodywork

Craniosacral Therapy

I received basic training through my education at MN School of Business/Globe University. Craniosacral Therapy is a technique used to help balance the rhythm of the body by working with the cranial bones, spinal column, sacrum/coccyx, & diaphragms of the body. This technique is performed while fully clothed.

Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique (SMRT)

A positional release technique, SMRT allows me to work at all depths of tissue without causing much, if any, discomfort or pain. I became Full-Body certified in this technique in May 2016.

Medical Massage/Injury Rehabilitation

I accept referrals for Auto Accident and MN Workman's Comp injuries and will bill the applicable insurance company. I have been working with this type of massage service since opening my business in 2011. I do also accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flex Spending cards. With these cards, however, you must be able to prove that the massage is medically necessary. This is usually done by having a letter and prescription from your physician indicating this.

Myofascial Release (MFR)

Restrictions can also happen within your fascia, the body’s connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything from head to toe. MFR is a manual therapy technique that targets the 3 top layers of fascia to help to release those restrictions by stretching these layers. Typically used with little to no emollient.

Deep Tissue/Trigger Point Therapy

Deep Tissue massage is often misinterpreted into meaning that it has to hurt to be effective, but in reality, it does not have to be so. The true meaning of Deep Tissue is working with the deeper layers of tissue. The best approach to this is to soften and relax the superficial layers first and then slowly working down into the deeper layers. This modality also integrates Trigger Point Therapy in which we release taught bands in your muscles and other tissues than can cause and refer pain. I use this in conjunction with SMRT for maximum benefit. "No pain, no gain" is definitely not true in this case.
