My Unique Form of Massage Therapy
With more than 29 years professional experience, my unique style of Massage Therapy empties your physical body of excess energy burdens, while bringing you to a deep state of complete relaxation.
As soon as you step over the threshold of my cozy treatment room, you enter a world dedicated to your surrender … to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual peace.
I quietly encourage your internal focus as you temporarily suspend attention on the externally busy world. With each exhale, unneeded energy burdens are emptied from your physical body… and with each inhale, fresh new nourishing energy comes in. I give you the exact amount of pressure you desire, and my goal is to unburden you - body and spirit - of the pent-up tensions from earthly life which you are ready to relinquish.
I draw from many techniques including Swedish/deep muscle/medical massage, Acupressure (like acupuncture but using my fingertips), Sports Massage, deep connective tissue work on injured muscles, heat or cold therapy if desired, Reflexology on the hands and feet, and Polarity Therapy (a form of energy work). With each stroke, my intuition and your subtle responses guide the work of my perceptive hands… and there is a sort of silent “conversation” between my hands and your body. Downloading excess tension energy down and out of your body, you begin to feel so much lighter than you were when you first came in! I view my Massage Therapy as a sort of respite from life, a recharging of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual battery. Afterward, you feel lighter, renewed and ready for whatever life brings you!
The Body As A Tool of Communication For The Soul
For those who are interested, I can provide clients with specific spiritual support as an addendum to their Massage Therapy. I intuitively help many clients understand the spiritual matters lying beneath their physical health challenges. By sharing my encouraging knowledge of the 12-chakra system with interested clients, those clients come away from their Massage session with deeper self-understanding. On a day-to-day basis, this added knowledge helps them tune into their thoughts/feelings in the exact moments they experience tension or pain. They are better able to stop and listen to what is really going on inside and turn potential problems into positive self-empowerment! When a client is interested in working with me at this thorough level, the long term psychological, emotional and spiritual support benefits of our sessions extend far beyond physical relaxation.
For more in-depth Spiritual Support …
… I recommend receiving my Spiritual Life Path Reading. Through this reading, I am able to see a “picture” of your soul history, your unique spiritual gifts, and the beneficial personal growth potentials which your life challenges offer. Many times, our health challenges are actually physical expressions of the spiritual challenges we face. The seeds of greater self-knowledge are contained within every life challenge. It is my greatest joy in life to support my clients and students in more fully awakening to their spiritual life path!
