Massage Treatments

Massage Treatments are a collaborative effort between the practitioner and you. Each Massage Treatment is custom designed by the practitioner for you, individually, with conscious understanding of your history, what you are working on now, and where you want to be in the future.  Long term and short term goals are discussed and reevaluated before each session.

Each session starts with a conversation.  The practitioner evaluates you and your body based on how you are feeling, walking and standing.  This body evaluation is important in identifying problematic areas that need to be released as well as painful areas that need to be soothed.

The intention of each session is to get the most release, without causing undue discomfort.  The practitioner will only get as deep as your body will allow.  Some of the techniques are somewhat uncomfortable, however, great care is taken to respect the limits of your body and minimize the time while gaining the greatest release.

Most techniques require the practitioner to work on bare skin.  Care is taken to assure and maintain your comfort throughout the entire Massage Treatment.  The practitioner is well versed in many draping techniques (or: Sheet Origami) that only expose the part of your body currently being worked on.  Additionally, only natural, and mostly organic lotions, salves, liniments and essential oils are used.

All Massage Treatments last about an hour and are integrated with aromatherapy, essential oils and soothing sounds.
