Signature Body Tune Massage

We get our skis, bikes, instruments and cars tuned, we also need to get our bodies tuned.  Massage offers regular maintenance and a way to say thank you for all that our bodies do for us.  Especially with the modern lifestyle of so much sitting, driving and computers, our bodies seriously need some attendance to counteract these chronic holding patterns.

Let me treat you to a choreographed sequence of specialized techniques mixed with intuitive flow that is completely customized to your individual needs.  My massages will allow you to sink into the healing space and come out the other side feeling like a new and improved version of yourself.

The session usually includes a synthesized blend of modalities I specialize in and find to be most effective.  People often say this is the best massage they’ve ever had!

  • Shiatsu/Thai
  • Deep Tissue/NMT
  • Sports/Swedish
  • All infused with Energywork principles (Polarity and Reiki) and a Craniosacral foundation.

My Approach

After practicing for over 10 years now, I’ve come to appreciate massage as one of the best gifts of life – an extraordinary art and dance rooted in Loving-Kindness.  I marvel at the wisdom of the body and the power of touch to heal and integrate the whole person.  Massage can increase performance, circulation and wellbeing, while reducing toxicity and stress.  And of course it just plain feels good!  I genuinely love helping people feel good, so its a mutual benefit. 🙂  Simply relaxing should not be underestimated, as being in the parasympathetic nervous system of rest and digest is where the magic of our body’s innate healing capacity really takes place.

I like to encourage my clients to engage in a combination of mindfulness, breathwork and Qi gong in collaboration with the bodywork, in order to maximize the benefits.  Plus you’ll go home with a new tool to stay grounded and “charge your battery” with.

The head/neck/shoulders are my specialty areas of the body to do focused deep tissue work for people with these particular issues.

**I cannot see someone for both counseling and massage work, it has to be one or the other.
