Integrative Massage, Pilates, Nutrition & Herb Therapy

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. You are unique and deserve a unique approach to your healing process. My background in exercise physiology, personal training, Pilates, various massage modalities, clinical herbalism and clinical nutrition provide me with an extensive set of skills to provide a comprehensive, unique treatment approach to each of my clients.

Watching your patterns of movement, feeling areas of tension or imbalance, listening to your experience, and using my intuition as my guide, we will work together to create a plan for treatment which provides you with long-lasting relief, renewed vitality, and improved health.

Massage modalities include: myofascial release, deep tissue, neuromuscular techniques, Maya Abdominal Massage, Ortho-Bionomy, acutonics, Swedish, craniosacral therapy, cupping, hot stones, Maya spiritual healing, plant brushings, and aromatherapy, all chosen and integrated based on your individual needs at each visit. Pilates-based exercises (certified Polestar Pilates instructor) may also be suggested as indicated.

In some instances, sessions focused entirely on Maya Abdominal Massage may be recommended, rather than the limited portions included in most massages. Please visit my website for more information.

Herbal & nutritional consultations are available on their own, or they may be integrated into massage sessions.

Rather than create a dependence on my work, I spend time teaching each of my clients self-care techniques they can use to reduce pain and further support the healing process on their own. My goal is for clients to achieve a greater self-awareness, a sense of empowerment, and renewed vitality on their journey to better health.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. My neck hurts... why are you working on my feet, and why is what I eat important?

Our first sessions together, more than all the others, are often filled with a-ha moments as you become familiar with the concept, "It's all connected." If I only work at your neck and choose to ignore an imbalance in your feet or lower legs, I'd be doing you a great disservice... the neck pain would only continue to return again and again. Likewise, if micronutrient deficiencies are suspected based on what I feel in your body or the symptoms you describe, we must address these or your body will lack the elements necessary to rally during the healing process.
