Sports Massage

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.

Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular massage therapy, also called myofascial trigger point therapy or myofascial release, is a specialized form of massage that involves the application of firm, sustained, and controlled pressure over painful, taut bands of muscle, called myofascial trigger points, to release tension and facilitate blood flow

Unlike a deep tissue massage - which tends to focus more on working the deeper muscle tissue to alleviate injury pain - neuromuscular massage focuses on relieving pain and dysfunction originating from specific areas in the muscles, and is often used in conjunction with trigger point therapy.

Thai Massage (combo)

Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga massage, because I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. My clients say Thai massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai massage session will help you release stress and relieve pain, and help you function more effectively at work and home.

Shiatsu (combo)

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

Reiki

The word "Reiki" pronounced as "ray-key" is a combination of two Japanese words, "Rei" and "ki". "Rei" means spiritual or universal and "ki" means the life force. The meanings thus becomes like "The Universal Life Force Energy". Everyone is born with this energy, which can be channeled and used for healing at will. As the name indicates, it is universally present everywhere. The word Reiki is used in two meanings; one as the name of a non-physical energy that gives life to all living sentient beings and second as the name of the healing system that uses this energy.  It is a form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body.

Reiki is a nonphysical and invisible universal energy that vibrates at a level higher than personal energy. Personal energy here, refers to the energy which is purely individual and unique for everyone. Reiki does not work like physical medicines. It is administered by just the simple laying on of hands and can be used alone, in combination with massage and also alongside regular medical treatment, whatever that might be. One does not need to know the cause of illness. Reiki automatically addresses the cause, supplements and speeds up the healing process and works in accordance with what is in the Highest Good of the recipient. It is a fully positive energy and does not cause any type of harm to the recipient or the healer. In fact it cannot be used to harm anyone. Reiki never flows for negative purposes. If you can fully open and receive the flow of Reiki and its working, you will be benefit far more than just the physical healing.

Application of Reiki is not limited to the physical factors; it works far beyond. You can use it for as many purposes as you can think of but it must be remembered that Reiki is not meant to control anyone's mind or to be used for any negative purpose. It can help you in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development in many ways and add immensely to your overall well-being. Reiki can also help you in the manifestation of various goals in life, treatment of various diseases, improvement of relations and creation of a congenial working atmosphere etc. Reiki works in accordance with the Universal Laws of Nature, never against them.

During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy in addition to any specific conditions or issues that are of concern.
