Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
If you want to really relax without taking off your clothes this sequence is for you. Deep relaxation allows our bodies to recover from the ups and downs of daily life. It can also be a time when great ideas are born. There are many powerful points on the head, hands and feet as I have learned in studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and reflexology. I will be incorporating that knowledge in the session.
Comfort Touch is a nurturing form of acupressure massage designed to be safe and appropriate for the elderly, the disabled and the ill. It offers the benefits of touch to those for whom conventional massage may cause discomfort or even injury. This type of massage provides gentle, soothing relief and deep connection. It is often used in hospice care. Being that clients falling into this category are most often immobile, I will come to your home or medical facility. There may be a small travel fee depending where you are located.
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
Infant Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically to promote the healthy development of your infant. Caring human touch is crucial for a healthy thriving baby, and the benefits of massaging your infant are potent and numerous. For example, many infants show improved growth and development of the brain and nervous system. Infant massage has also been shown to improve the quality of a baby's sleep, as well as strengthening their immune system.
Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly. It helps to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and also increase range of motion. If you are elderly, geriatric massage can help you maintain and improve your overall health, as well as regain certain physical functions that have been reduced due to aging. In addition, since the elderly don't typically receive enough physical touch, this massage can also help alleviate symptoms of loneliness or depression.
Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga massage, because I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. My clients say Thai massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai massage session will help you release stress and relieve pain, and help you function more effectively at work and home.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
The first workshop is designed to to teach couples how to give a really great massage. In the 3 hour session, each person will give and receive an hour massage with hands on instruction. You will also learn the benefits and contraindications of massage. You will become familiar with Swedish massage strokes and the intent of each one. Ultimately, you will learn a full body massage sequence that will make anyone feel wonderful. This first workshop is done on a massage table, without clothes but always covered very mindfully.
If clients want to further their instruction, I offer follow up classes of 2 hours per couple at separate sessions where we will go over what you learned from previous class, while adding more techniques. You will also learn some specific acupressure points for lovers and points for emotional wellbeing. I will show you how to safely give a full body massage on the floor or bed and also a seated massage sequence for neck and shoulder relief.
