MASSAGE THERAPY
Welcome! My work and passion is to create a sacred space
for relaxation and connection to our inner selves, through physical
and energetic bodywork. Sessions usually start as full body relaxation
with rocking, compression, and aromatherapy. Then gentle yet increasingly
deeper massage to coax out tension or pain. Some prefer an invigorating,
firm style of massage. Some are needing a soothing, slowly flowing,
light to medium massage. Some prefer their limbs to be moved and
stretched for focused tension relief, others prefer to keep their
arms and legs at rest so that they may fully relax. I enjoy hearing
your preferences, and welcome the opportunity to create a massage
that's best for you at that moment.
For deep tissue work, I prefer the philosophy that "good pain"
can be relieving and relaxing (a common definition of "good
pain" is a "good intense 7" on a scale of 1 - 10).
Anything more may elicit a stress response in your systems, and
that may work against the goal of our session. I encourage feedback
of your experience in order to create the safest environment for
your bodywork, but also that you enjoy the chances to "float
away." There are enumerable benefits to that level of relaxation.
Massage for greater well-being is recommended every three to four
weeks. Similar to regularly changing your car's oil, only the body
has more numerous and more complex systems, all of which are affected
by massage. It is truly body-mind-spirit. Weekly or bi-monthly massage
is preferred at first for any acute physical or stressful conditions.
BACKGROUND
I took my first massage course almost 17 years ago, Circulatory
Massage at UCSD, and over the years developed my touch and body
awareness with friends and other therapists. I became a full-time
Certified Massage Therapist five years ago and continue to take
advanced technique classes regularly, currently about 800 hours.
I grew up nearby in Fair Oaks, studied art in San Diego, enjoyed
a career in graphic design in Sacramento, and outdoor emergency
care with Ski Patrol in Tahoe. Nothing is as fullfilling for me
as studying the immeasurable healing capacity of the human body
and spirit.
Any questions, just ask. Mini-spa retreats at your home, calming
pre-wedding jitters, 10 minute clothed increments at events, maternity,
senior care, corporate events... massage can be enjoyed in many
ways. Gift certificates are available.
