Massage Therapy
Massage can be one of the most relaxing & joyful ways to take care of your health. It can help you re-balance your body's alignment & unwind from the day's stressors. Massage therapy is also a wonderful, healing therapy for sore muscles, injuries, chronic pain and also anxiety/stress relief. Sessions can include relaxation & preventative health massage or more focused injury recovery/specific issue muscle work for a few areas of the body. I'm trained in medically-based massage, meaning I'll take an intake to get a thorough picture of your overall health and talk to you about how massage can fit into your health care routine. Especially if you have had an accident, chronic health condition or just sit in front of a computer all day for work, massage can be a great therapy to include alongside chiropractic care, physical therapy, acupuncture or other self-care suggested by your primary care provider.
​
My treatments include custom tailored bodywork, including Swedish massage and techniques like sports massage, deep tissue, PNF & Facilitated Stretching, Structural Integration, Myofascial Release and can also include some Craniosacral Therapy, lymphatic drainage, pregnancy massage or Compassionate Touch techniques (very gentle touch for elderly or infirm). I love including gentle stretching & joint mobilization when helpful, and techniques that activate the "rest & relaxation response" associated with the Vagus nerve & the parasympathetic nervous system. Aromatherapy is also included with a selection of massage oils infused with healing essential oil blends. However, if you are sensitive to scents, I can also offer scent-free products as well.

Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work and means "Universal Life Force or Energy." It's a form of bodywork that focuses on revitalizing our energy flow and feeding good, clean energy or "life force" into anywhere the body needs it. It is extremely restful and gentle and is well suited for physical complaints as well as emotional stress & anxiety. The client can remain fully dressed for a Reiki-only session and I will lay my hands down the major energy centers of the body or anywhere there is pain or discomfort. I will then hold each position for several minutes before gently moving on to the next location. Reiki trusts the body's wisdom to direct that energy flow into whatever needs the most attention, whether that's our muscles, organs, nervous system, all the way down to individual cells. Many clients report feeling like they have had an incredibly restful nap and feel calm and balanced, even though they haven't actually fallen asleep.
​
Reiki is a great addition to a combination massage/energy work session or as a stand-alone treatment. It can be especially helpful in situations where there has been trauma, where an area is too painful to be massaged or when the nervous system feels overcharged and overwhelmed. Reiki asks nothing of you except to lie still, relax and gently enter a deep, meditative state. Reiki rourishes you & reconnects you to the energies around you. Some clients even find their mind clears & they receive fresh insights during this relaxed state.

Half-massage & half-Reiki
Eden Method (EEM)
The Eden Method, also known as Eden Energy Medicine (EEM), is a form of energy work that brings together knowledge of all the energy systems of the body, including the meridians, chakras, the aura and others. This technique draws on knowledge of the 5 Element Theory in Chinese medicine as well as many other energy techniques like Touch for Health and indigenous healing methods. While many types of energy work focus on just one major energetic system of the body, this works to address issues and balance all of them. Each system is tied to the next, and finding out where energy is stagnant, blocked or over energized can free up all the systems and bring health and balance back to the body. Our energetic systems are the overlay of our physical bodies, so balancing energy in the energetic layer resonates everywhere and can activate the body's natural healing response.
​
This technique is unique in that I will "energy test" you with a simply muscle strength test before and after a session so you can see directly if your energies have balanced or what might need more attention. The session itself is tailored uniquely to you based on whether you come in with pain, a specific illness, are suffering from depression or anxiety or simply want more energy, better digestion, a clearer mind, more focus or to be more resilient to stressors in your life.
​
These techniques may involve holding different acupressure points for balancing meridians, doing chakra clearing, balancing & re-weaving the aura or even deep treatments for balancing your nervous system. This is very much a "self-help" kind of method, meaning you will also learn simple exercises to take home to keep your energies flowing and keep improving your physical and mental/emotional health.
And don't worry if you've never experienced energy work before. I love teaching my clients about their energetic systems in a down-to-earth, understandable way. It's an eye-opening experience the first time you get energy work that leaves your feeling lighter, clearer and more grounded. I've just finished a 2-yr. training course in this method and am offering these techniques at a discount while I study for my certification exam. This is a great time to try these techniques a lower cost. I have benefitted greatly from receiving this work myself and I love sharing it with my clients!

For longer protocols
​
*Eden Method sessions take longer than an hour allows.
A 90 min. session can include basic checks & balancing of your energy systems and treatment of 1-2 problem areas. A 90 min. session can also be a combo session of massage & energy work if you just want to continue working on
1 on-going energetic issue. 120 min. sessions are required for some deeper work/chronic issues and for longer protocols.
