Orthopedic Massage

Orthopedic massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. My goal is to restore full health to the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific conditions as well as improving your overall well-being.

Deep Tissue Massage

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.

Gong & Sound

Sound Healing is thought to be the oldest, gentlest, most profound form of healing. It is rooted in many ancient cultures. Many instruments can be used, including one’s own voice. Think chanting, singing, humming and ancient mantras. The Gong is the most powerful of instruments. The vibration carries for 40 years. I believe it is the only instrument that can almost immediately bring a person into a Theta Brainwave state. This is a state of deep relaxation, facilitating meditation and creativity while giving a feeling of floating in a space between being awake and asleep.

Sound and energy can also be used to clear one’s space.

Studies have found that the use of sound

-Calms the nervous system -Reduces cortisol levels

-Lowers Blood pressure and heart rate -Increases Endorphins

-Increases Oxytocin, vasopressin & dopamine -Increases Immunoglobin

-Raises Nitric Oxide levels in our blood vessels promoting relaxation, reduction of pain and better health

Energy Work

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.
