Exfoliate for Spring!
Feeling dry and itchy? or just come back from a vacation in the sun? Scrub off the old, dry skin!
Shimmer and shine with a natural exfoliation scrub I'll make fresh for your session. Add exfoliation to a massage and shower in the comfort of your own home! (Exfoliations for house calls only.)

Swedish
This form of massage encompasses long, flowing strokes, muscle kneading, joint mobilization, and percussion or tapping techniques. Swedish massage is deeply relaxing and very effective at turning off the stress response (fight or flight processes).
|
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage calls for harder pressure that can be helpful to release tense muscles and to relieve adhesions in areas of chronic injury.
Sustained compression on muscles creates a change in the blood flow as well as alters pain messages to the brain. |
Prenatal - Postpartum
Massage is a great way to relieve aches, pains and commons discomforts of pregnancy. As the body adapts and changes during pregnancy, massage can help women to feel more comfortable as well as to relax and enjoy a few moments just for Mom.
Follow up after the baby is born and allow someone to attend to Mom's physical and emotional changes. Mom deserves it!
Great present for Dad to give Mom!
I am certified in massage for the childbearing cycle. |
Sports/Athletic Training
As you continue to exercise this spring, massage can help you to play at your best and recover more quickly with less pain and strain. Sports massage focuses on pertinent muscles and can include stretches. It can be done pre or post event as well as part of a maintenance or training program.
Preparing for a marathon or triathlon? We can work together throughout your training regimen. We'll work to customize the number of sessions and cost.

Reflexology
Throughout the ages, working the feet has been used to relieve tension and ailments throughout the body. Reflexology works with the body's energy pathways and nervous system to affect the whole. It can also work locally to alleviate foot pain including plantar fasciitis. |
Shiatsu
This form of Japanese bodywork is based in traditional Chinese Medicine that dates back 4,500 years. Through stretching and working energy points and pathways, one can balance the mind/body/spirit. Shiatsu may be done wearing loose fitting clothing.
|
Reiki
Reiki means universal life energy. It is a form of energy work originally from Tibetan Buddhists and passed through generations of Japanese. Through Reiki's light touch one may experience a sense of well being, decreased pain and an increased feeling of hope.

Parent-Infant Massage Instruction
Baby massage gives parents and infants an opportunity to relax together. Whether it is after bath time or before bed, baby massage is a great way to bond. It has mental and health benefits such as encouraging motor skill development and promoting a strong immune system. Through private or group instruction, I will teach you how to massage your baby with confidence and joy. Bring a few moms together and swap stories.
