Deep Tissue

Releases tension in the deeper layers of the muscles, it also relieves tenderness and fatigue associated with stress, and promotes healthy muscles. Healthy muscles can prevent injuries. Different techniques will be customized to suit your individual needs.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential “time element” has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot stones are placed at key points around your body, and used as massage tools with essential oils to help promote deep relaxation and balance. You can choose soft or deep tissue work. Truly a great experience...

Sports Massage

A Sports massage is ideal to treat injuries and as well as a preventative treatment dealing with the health of muscle and connective tissue, range of movement, tone, symmetry, balance of muscle and quality of posture. I further define my role as ‘the manipulation of soft tissue to release tension, reduce pain, restore range of movement and promote good condition'. This is achieved through a range of techniques I possess and carry around in my ‘tool bag', some of which are effective on some people, some of which are not. It is then down to me to work with my clients to find the right tools to unravel their current injury situation or assist them with their training program. Essentially the ‘manipulation of soft tissue' in my books means moving muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue around in a range of ways to achieve the desired effect.

Swedish

Passive, long and rhythmic strokes are used to stimulate circulation, calming the mind and soothing the nerves. Choose light or firm touch.

Pregnancy

A special massage created exclusively to relieve those particular aches and pains associated with weight-bearing tension and fatigue. It also noticeably reduces swelling.

Other

+++Cupping Therapy --- Cupping therapy is used in traditional Chinese medicine to release congestion. Cups are placed on the skin and a suction gun is used to create vacuum inside the cups. Leaving the cups on the skin for a few minutes will turn the skin red. This is an indication that circulation has been brought to the surface. The suction will increase blood flow and will release rigid soft tissues and muscles.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Really enjoyed the massage.
by Kerry on Feb 28
Irena is wonderful!!! She consistently does a fantastic massage every time I go. She listens to your needs and which areas you may not want worked on or areas that need extra attention on that visit. Irena also combines a number of therapies in the massage I get, such as, aromatherapy, hot stones, exfoliating scrub, cupping and hot towels. It is a very soothing environment and the ambience and music is stellar. Tea or water awaits you at the end of the massage for hydration. Parking at the door another added bonus. Highly recommend!

I have been going to Irena for a couple of years now and am so thankful to have found her. It's always such a treat to get a massage from her. She is very welcoming and attentive to whatever concerns one might have as well. Highly recommend her if you are a first timer to massages like I was.

There's a reason I always get my Irena appointment in when traveling to California. I would travel from anywhere (but I live in Colorado) over and over again just to get my healing session in with Irena. Irena's intuitive healing practices are spot on. I don't even need to tell her where I'm having issues, she just knows. <3 TYTYTY Irena for always getting me into see you when I'm in town, and for working your magic on me. Without you, I wouldn't be able to move and live a comfortable life.
