Thank you for seeking out massage! It is one of the best things you can do to reconnect to your body's vitality, maximizing your healing potential!  I am a certified and licensed massage therapist, gaining my 650 hour training at the Arcata School of Massage in 2014.  The main modalities I use include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Release, Acupressure, Sports massage, Prenatal massage, and Craniosacral therapy.  With that said, each session is carefully crafted to help address your main areas of concern within the body, which means that sometimes I will mix different modalities to offer you the best service I can. My gentle approach slows down the body's central nervous system so you can reconnect with your natural "rest and recover" state, known as the parasympathetic response. Once this state in the body is reached then the true healing process can begin. Manipulation of the tissues is much more effective once those muscles are relaxed and no longer holding on to unnecessary tension. Only then can deep, lasting change be made.   Due to Covid I will not be charging for cancellations.  I hope to see you very soon!  Sincerely, Marti Ann Anderson
