I am a therapeutic massage therapist, specializing in deep tissue and joint mobilization. Each session blends techniques to provide detailed, thorough attention to your areas of concern, creating a balance of ease and restoration.

Deep Tissue

Typically more focused, Deep Tissue Massage targets deeper layers of fascia and muscle, resulting in a greater release of tension and increased joint mobility. While receiving Deep Tissue Massage, you may feel discomfort or mild pain. Breathing deeply and slowly during these moments brings oxygen to the tissue and helps calm the central nervous system. You may experience mild soreness the day after a deep tissue session. This is common and usually lasts about a day.

Swedish / Relaxation

Focused on the entire body as a whole and not on a specific area of pain, Relaxation Massage invites your mind to quiet down and your muscles to unwind. Combining a Swedish style with occasional light stretching offers gentle de-stressing without having to breathe through deep strokes or endure soreness the next day.

Cupping Therapy

Surrounding each muscle and internal organ is a tight web of connective tissue called Fascia. It is the “glue of the body”. Dehydration and/or lack of movement can cause the fascia to stiffen and tighten around the muscle, like shrink-wrap. Massage cupping is an ancient Eastern technique of applying suction cups to the skin which results in lifting the tissue instead of compressing it. This allows fresh blood and lymph to reach the muscle, accelerating the internal healing response. Sometimes marking occurs. These temporary marks are a result of stagnation underneath and last about 1-7 days.
