Kinetic Swedish Massage
As a therapeutic approach, KSM involves specific techniques to provide pain relief, for recovery from injuries, or to address body system dysfunction. Massage focus is on areas of concern and connected areas, and uses quality massage oil.
Therapeutic massage is beneficial for chronic conditions of back and neck pain, tendinitis, strain disorders, and other injuries. I specialize in treatment of neck and upper back tension, tendinitis, sciatica, and low-back pain and stiffness. Learn more here

Reiki (Usui Reiki)
is a healing touch therapy that channels universal life-force energy into the client's body through the intention and hands of the practitioner. Reiki is a Japanese holistic, light-touch, energy-based modality. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ki (life force energy) throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body's innate healing ability.

Thai Yoga Table Massage
A fully-clothed massage, where the therapist guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures and gentle stretching while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points. This relieves muscular tension, can be both relaxing and energizing, and balances the body by unblocking and circulating energy.
Osteopathy
A form of manual therapy, which aims to identify and address the underlying causes of aches, pains and other general health problems. It is based on a deep understanding of anatomy and body mechanics, with the refined ability to feel the differences between healthy and dysfunctional tissues, and the techniques to stimulate the body's innate capacity to heal itself. Seeking the root causes of a given problem, osteopathy helps to restore normal movement and function, relieve pain and maximize the body’s ability to maintain health and wellbeing. Learn more here.

CranioSacral Therapy:
CST is a light-touch therapy. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Few body structures have more influence over your health and well-being than your central nervous system (brain + spinal cord + craniosacral system- the soft tissues and fluid that protect your brain and spinal cord). Experience the release of restrictions in the craniosacral system and the function of nearly every other body system is improved. CST is specifically beneficial for: migranes and headaches, chronic neck and back pain, stress and tension-related disorders, central nervous system disorders, learning disabilities, post-traumatic stress disorder, prevention of illness, general well-being, and more.
