In general, I specialize in a very integrative style of therapeutic bodywork. I lean heavily on myofascial release, structural deep tissue, trigger point, joint mobilizations, Swedish, neuromuscular, and proprioceptive techniques. I always consider the fascia—the whole-body—utilizing the weight, rhythm, and stretch of a human body to inform the way I will help guide it back into a state of greater ease. My Swedish strokes are myofascially influenced and are an integrative and hydrating element of my work. Each session is unique with its own intention and focus. I am structurally-minded in my approach to the “global-system” of a tensegrous human body. I am often focused on functional-mechanical improvement and systemic balance working anatomically and specifically. My work is diligent, nurturing, trauma sensitive, and care-filled. I’m as gentle on the spirit as I am tough on those places that need it the most.
I occasionally offer, and am happy to use, therapeutic cups in my practice. They can be a wonderful tool to hydrate tissue and soften tight, stuck areas. Though this kind of cupping can leave marks, receiving them can be both surprisingly gentle and dramatically effective. I use them in a safe way that is not damaging to tissues or overwhelming to the body.
I offer Lymphatic Drainage Massage, partially with cups, but also manually with my hands as well. Lymphatic work with cups is gentle, does not leave marks, and is curiously enjoyable and refreshing!
I offer pregnancy sessions, both for the pre- and post-natal journeys.
I am committed to working safely within my scope of practice. For both lymphatic drainage and pregnancy work, please ensure that you have any appropriate medical approval necessary for the bodywork you are seeking from me so that I can support you effectively and safely. Thank you :)
If you have any questions regarding any of these modalities and/ or if what I offer may be suitable for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me and ask!
