Massage
Individual Sessions
Massage is an important aspect of my Wellness practice, and many stress management issues can be helped by this grounding, calming, cleansing treatment. For all clients, the massage is combined with other modalities, for an enhanced, holistic approach. Attention to sleep and exercise issues, for example, are common concerns. I am able to offer massage only to clients who are under 250 pounds, as that is my table’s tolerance. For those unfamiliar with my massage work, a bit about my style and qualifications:
I work in an eclectic style, blending Swedish, acupressure, deep tissue and intuitive methods. I encourage feedback, so that I can work as deep or as light as you need. During our intake interview at your first session, you can inform me of any relevant concerns, history and current health goals.
Massage can offer an enormous range of stress-reduction benefits for virtually any condition and for every level of our selves: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. These may include the re-establishment of an open flow of blood, lymph, nerve conduction, and prana; the validation of being accepted and touchable; the contradiction of feelings of isolation; the experience of mind-heart-body-spirit wholeness and integrity.
My nursing background provides me an understanding of anatomy and physiology, and my counseling training gives me insights into the subtler “issues in the tissues”. My RN license covers me as a provider of comlementary therapy, therefore I am not a LMT. I have been a professional massage provider since 1982, and have also taught many massage courses, including those at LBCC in both credit and non-credit departments.
