In most cases your initial visit includes an evaluation. As part of this evaluation I take a very thorough history to best determine a course of action in your treatment. You will receive the best treatment for you and your circumstances by allowing me to complete this evaluation and apply the treatment as I determine, best serves your stated needs.
The following menu gives you an idea of the styles and techniques I have at my disposal in treating whatever issues you face. This listing is in no way a complete listing of the techniques I will likely apply in your session.
Or
Pick something from the menu and we will apply the massage you specify.

A luxurious session applied with the sole intent of making you feel good.
Just an hour or more of long, soothing strokes and gentle kneading .
- Sports Massage
A pre-event session is a high intensity, fast paced session intended to
loosen and invigorate your muscles prior to an event or activity.
A post-event session is applied at a much slower pace and is designed
to alleviate minor spasms and improve your recovery rate.
- Therapeutic Massage
A general therapeutic addresses minor muscle aches and pains while still
providing you the benefits of a full body massage.
A specific therapeutic addresses a specific complaint. The entire session
is focused on alleviating a specific problem that you indicate.
- Deep Tissue
A full body massage applied with a "heavy hand." Deep kneading and
trigger points characterize this session.
- Deep Muscle
This session focuses on the deep muscles of the body. The areas treated are limited to those that have deep muscles only. The spinal column, shoulders and hips.
- Assisted Stretching
We typically see athletes take advantage of this form or bodywork. The
major muscles of your body are manually stretched beyond the
point you can stretch them yourself.
- Trigger Point
There are many different trigger philosophies incorporated into our treatment
Eastern as well as Western in origin. Though developed separately many
points overlap from system to system. These are the points we
focus on for maximum effectiveness in your treatment.
- Energy Balancing
There are a number of different energy philosophies utilized in our sessions.
It has been my experience that the validity of energy dynamics is
beyond reproach.
- Medical/Orthopedic Massage (Please see sidebar)
This session is applied to treat specific diagnosed injuries or disorders.
Classes

Realize the benefits of sharing the beautiful experience of touch with your
child. Infant on up, your child is never too young for massage.

Learn advanced massage and bodywork techniques. I have spent a large part
of my career working with chronic/re-occurring pain/injuries. I cannot convey
in words the techniques that I have had to develop to treat many of the issues
I have been presented with. The best way to understand would be for you to
come in and experience a session yourself.

Medical/Orthopedic Massage
My personal history includes 15 years of experience dealing with and addressing chronic pain complaints. The techniques I apply are aggressive as well as unique. These techniques were born of necessity as many of the issues I have treated over the course of my career were unidentified by the health care industry as recently as 10 - 15 years ago. Many people including health care professionals were/are unaware of the role some forms of bodywork can play in the treatment protocols of a wide variety of chronic pain issues, injuries,syndromes & disorders.
In my career I have treated with varying degrees of success, individuals symptomatic of the following:
Lupus
Sciatic Pain
Fibromyalgia
TMJ Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue SyndromeThoracic Outlet Syndrome Chronic Headaches Migraine Headaches
Accute & Chronic back/neck pain
Accute & Chronic shoulder/hip pain
Frozen shoulderROM limiting orthopedic issues
Muscle Contractures
Tennis/Golfer's Elbow
Reoccurring connective tissue strains/sprains
Unspecified Pain
Stress
Anxiety
Depression
In my experience chronic and
re-occurring pain is never about a single injury,
injury, disorder, … issue or event. You might be able to point to a specific event. To be sure that event may have initiated your issue. All to often the event you have in mind was only the catalyst.
Your body was likely out of balance prior to that event and certainly has been out of balance ever since.
I will never claim to “fix” you, but I will do all I can to help you help yourself.
My work has been created to balance your body
front to back
side to side
and
top to bottom.
By alleviating the imbalances that exist within your body, your body then has the best opportunity to heal itself.
You are given the best possible
opportunity to heal your
self.
