Deep Tissue Massage
60 - 120 minutes:
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Tuina
60 - 120 minutes:
Tuina is Chinese bodywork and is most likely the oldest form of massage. Tui means push and Na means grasp. Tuina is a whole body massage technique performed with clothes-on. During a Tuina session all layers of the body are addressed: skeletal, muscle, connective tissue, lymphatic, circulatory and the meridian systems of the body known to Traditional Chinese Medicine. One of the main goals in Tuina is to encourage a balanced flow of qi (vital energy). Other goals of Tuina are maintaining healthy joints, skin and well toned musculature.
Energy Work
60 - 120 minutes:
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
Movement Education
60 - 120 minutes or 30 minutes ADD on:
Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
Chair Massage
60 minutes:
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage.

Sliding scale rate:
I currently offer a sliding scale rate designed for people that need bodywork the most, and often can afford it the least. If you are a teacher, public educator, front-line worker, social security, Medicare/Medicaid or disability recipient, low-wage earner or on a fixed income you probably qualify for our sliding scale rate. No proof required, this is on the honor system.
