Introduction: I would describe my massage technique as medium pressure with some trigger point, Swedish deep stroke thrown in. I do not believe you have to hurt people to get them out of pain. I respect the muscles and strive to manipulate the tissue with the permission of the muscles. The last thing I want to do is make my client jump or tighten up...this is the opposite of relaxation and cooperating with the healing process.
In addition to being a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist in NC-13137, I am also an Usui Reiki Master Teacher. The world runs on energy and our energy needs to work for us and not against us. I am honored when each person trusts me with their needs and I take my job very seriously. I believe in incorporating stretching into massage and I demonstrate stretches which can be done at home or at work.
I like helping people help themselves. When I give a massage or Reiki session, it is a partnership to achieve a goal. It needs to be a good match. Every person presents a new challenge for me and even the same person presents with different needs and challenges at each appointment. I love the challenge of finding the best way to help.
