I bring everything needed for each session. Sessions are always personalized to best suit the individuals needs.  Sessions could include a variety of methods depending on the determined desires and issues.  Massage methods include Deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy (NMT), myo-fascial release, lymphatic drainage, trigger point/acupressure, Swedish. Shiatsu, Cupping, stretching methods, active release, and/or relaxation techniques.  Again, methods are mainly medical aiming to reduce pain & stress, induce healing and revitalization.  Some pain relief methods often directly target the clients most painful areas which potentially could lead to an emotional and/or intense experience.  Relaxation massages, private yoga interaction and stretch therapy sessions are also available.  The list of prices is not completely formal as sometimes sessions could be longer or shorter due to clients state of well being and the determined objective.  Willing to travel, however prices could also slightly vary due to travel time.  By making massage mobile and arriving at your doorstep at your determined time, I hope to make massage therapy more available to those people with limited time.

Full Body Muscle/Skeletal Analysis - This 2 hour body work session includes a massage with a detailed analysis of the structural condition and balance of all major muscle groups/chains and how they relate to your posture and overall well being. After the session, exercises and methods are recommended for the individual.  

Body Work Methods: 

Deep Tissue - Massage therapy that aims to relieve pain in underlying deep muscles by separating adhered muscles, structures, tendons, ligaments.  Muscles and other connective tissues normal become "stuck" together causing decreased blood flow which leads to pain.  Through deep tissue body work therapy the fascial connective tissue softens which leads to release and relieve muscles groups that "stick" together.  Deep tissue is very effective in reducing pain in the lower and upper back, shoulders, legs, hips and neck.  Deep tissue also reduces the pains associated with sciatica, Thoracic outlet syndrome, tennis elbow, reducing soreness and fibromyalgia. 

Swedish -  The most widely recognized and commonly used category of massage is the Swedish massage. The Swedish massage techniques vary from light to vigorous.  Swedish massage uses five styles of strokes. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber or with the fibers) and vibration/shaking.  Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks.

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) (Trigger Point Therapy)- This is a therapeutic pain relief massage method that directly targets most highly neuro-active areas of the body (highest pain).  Also know as trigger point therapy, through direct pressure the therapist relieves adhered muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues.  This method reduces swelling, reduces pain, increases range of motion in joints, enhances physical energy and relaxes.  This method could be considered mainly "medical," since its goal is to reduce an eliminate pain and tension.   

Myo-fascial Release - This rather new massage method targets the connective tissue that is intimately related to the muscle known as fascia, hence (myo-muscle, Fascial release).  Fascia is a "binding" tissue that surrounds every muscle cell, bone, ligament, tendon, organ in the body.  The fascia also plays a important role in the health of the largest organ of the body, the skin.  Some techniques used for myo-fascial include skin rolling, cross hand pulls, limb and head pulls, and scar healing stretches.  The fascia is believed to play a major role in the health of the muscle, joints and posture.  There is great scientific evidence demonstrating the great potential of myo-fascial massage therapy.   

Thai & Shiatsu - A blend of Thai massage and shiatsu based on the oriental energies systems know as the meridians and energy or pressure points. This floor based massage involves an eastern energetic belief of Qi and uses many different bodily movements, stretches and techniques.  

Acupressure - This pressure point massage method is also based on the energy meridian system of ancient chinese medicine.  Similar to acupuncture but not using needles to stimulate or calm energy points around the body.  

Reflexology - This foot, hand, and face massage relates points on the these previously mention body parts to the whole body.  Simply through detailed massage of the feet, hands, and face the entire body is revitalized and stimulated.  Reflexology also involves the ancient energy Qi and its corresponding blockages and flow.  

Assisted Static Stretching - This method related to my0fascial release allows the receiver to completely disengage their muscle while the assister brings the recivever into a passive full range of motion. Here we stimulate the edges of ROM while encouraging blood flow and elastin production. 

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Stretching - This method uses similar techniques as the static stretching while adding breath work and muscular engagement near the end range. When the end range is found, the receiver performs an isometric contraction against the assisters active resistance for five seconds, then follows by release breath and body to encourage deeper release. 

Resistance Flexibility - A slow movement based method with resistance aims to build active range of motion in the major and spinal joints. This method also builds strength while increasing ROM. This method is excellent for post injury or surgery muscle and/or joint rehabilitation. 

Active Isolated Stretching - This more dynamic method for building flexibility uses both passive and active full range of motion to "trick" neuromuscular cells named the Golgie Tendon Organs (GTO) which exist in our muscular tendinous junctions and the Muscle Spindle Fibers within the belly of the muscle .  The GTO is a specialized cell that senses tension in the muscles while the spindle fibers sense stretch within the muscle. This method moves and stretches in a manner that does allow these cells to react, keeping the muscles relaxed a free from tearing.  

The Benefits Of Massage
What exactly are the benefits of receiving massage or bodywork treatments? Useful for all of the conditions listed below and more, massage can:

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.

• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.

• Ease medication dependence.

• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.

• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.

• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.

• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.

• Increase joint flexibility.

• Lessen depression and anxiety.

• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.

• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improvingcirculation.

• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.

• Reduce spasms and cramping.

• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.

• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.

• Relieve migraine pain.

A Powerful Ally
There's no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.

• Enhanced sleep quality.

• Greater energy.

• Improved concentration.

• Increased circulation.

• Reduced fatigue.

Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

Profound Effects
In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body, with profound effects. Research shows that with massage:

• Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain.

• Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow.

• Burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching, and anxiety.

• High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure, anxiety, and stress hormones.

• Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.

• Preterm infants have improved weight gain.

Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch—which range from treating chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles. Consequently, the medical community is actively embracing bodywork, and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care units. Many hospitals are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners and even spas to treat postsurgery or pain patients as part of the recovery process.

Increase the Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently can do even more. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you'll be and how youthful you'll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn't mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
