Philosophy
Your Session Belongs to You
I tailor my work to the needs of each individual client at the particular time. Each client is different, and what your body needs may shift and change. What does not is the need for your comfort and safety to remain paramount. I use an eclectic repertoire of modalities, typically drawing on Swedish, Deep Tissue and Myofascial Release techniques. I tend to have a structural focus to my work, looking at the body as a whole and what imbalances may be contributing to chronic tension patterns. I also do general well-being/relaxation massage, orthopedic massage (injury rehabilitation), and a very gentle indirect fascial release technique. “No pain, no gain” does not apply to massage. While it can sometimes be constructive to ride the edge of intense--as long as it still feels safe and comfortable to the client--crossing over the line into pain will simply shut your nervous system down and be counterproductive to the work. I encourage clients to remain in communication with me to ensure the pressure is comfortable at all times through the session.
