Types of Massage

This is where you can learn about the types of massage that I currently offer.

• Swedish Massage:  a general whole body massage using oils or creams on the skin to facilitate treatment. 
  This is the basis of all Western forms of massage treatment and is a highly relaxing form of massage.
• Deep Tissue Massage:  this approach is powerful and deeper pressure than a standard Swedish massage with greater benefits to tired or aching muscles.  It is helpful in restructuring the body, improving posture and releasing tight muscles and trigger points.
• Hawaiian Lomi Lomi: my version is a form of massage developed from the teachings of Aunty Margaret Machado,
  a Hawaiian Kahuna, from the ancient practices of the Hawaiian peoples.  It is a very relaxing while
  at the same time stimulating massage
• Hot Stone Massage: hot stone are used to warm up the muscle tissue produces a very calming and relaxing
  massage.  The stones are used in the therapists hand while using the long gliding strokes of
  standard Swedish Massage.  A wonderful, therapeutic massage performed with hot, oiled basalt stones, guaranteed to melt your muscle tension away and leave you floating on a cloud of relaxed bliss.
  
• Energy Balancing is a process of reading the chakra energy in the body and using the energy of the Universe to balance those energies that may be out of balance in the client.  My Chakra Balancing is combined with Reiki, a Japanese method of energy balancing and healing and Somatic Mindfulness (a technique which bridges  the principles of somatics with the art of therapeutic touch). (Somatics, at it's root definition is "of the body". And Somatic Mindefulness permits the therapist to allow the clients body to "talk" with the therapists hands through the mindfulness of the therapist connecfting with the client.  This results in an amazingly connected session.
  
• Raindrop Treatment is a process using specific oils dropped onto the spine using a specific order and technique combined with the application of hot towels to elicit a calming and relaxing effect on the client.
