Massage & Bodywork

CrainoSacral Therapy

CranioSacral therapy is a type of somatic work that uses gentle touch by holding and gently moving the body. It is designed to release tension in the fascia, a connective tissue network in the body. The treatment works by improving cereberalspinal fluid circulation and manipulating body rhythms within the nervous system.

CranioSacral therapy aims to alleviate the symptoms of various health ailments and conditions by relieving compression on the bones and releasing fascia, in the lower back, head, and spinal column. Typically, people undergoing this type of therapy can expect pain relief, lowered stress, and improved overall well-being.

AcuStretch Therapy

(formally known as Thai Yoga Massage)

AcuStretch Therapy is my own style of gentle stretching, acupressure, energy work and massage that has evolved from my 15 year Thai Yoga Massage practice. Combining passive yoga strecthes, acupressure, massage and compression. AcuStretch Therapy is a rejuvenating and powerful mind and body healing experience. Clients are asked to be prepared by wearing loose-fitting clothing (yoga pants or sweatpants, no shorts).

Thai Foot Reflexology

Thai foot massage helps the body restore its own natural healthy balance. In a typical Thai foot massage session, the lower legs and feet are stretched and massaged to open Sen (energy). Then specific pressure points, which stem from ten major energy lines that run throughout the body, are stimulated. These pressure points provide a map of the entire body and organs. Thai foot massage increases circulation, improves sleep, elevates your mood, reduces stiffness and creates a feeling of deep tranquility and well being.
