Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork, combining oils, creams and/or lotions with an array of strokes such as gliding, rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve function in many ways.  The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include, but are not limited to, better circulation, relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork utilized to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue.  It is highly effective for releasing chronic stress areas due to posture, misalignment, repetitive motions, and past linguring injuries, to name a few causes.  Due to the nature of the deep work on muscle and connective tissues, open communication during the massage is a 'must' to ensure no session induced discomfort. Bear in mind that soreness is common after a deep tissue treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the body during the deep pressure used.

Myofacial Massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion.  It differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles -which encases EVERY muscle in the body.  Imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your comfort and range of motion.  Fascia is an important and vast membrane, and the application of compression as well as manipulation using skin rolling, amongst other techniques, is used to alleviate symptoms.

Many times, in fact, most times, because we are all different in so many ways, I work with my clients to create a massage that is unique to each individual, catering to various needs, using a combination of all that I have learned over time.  I feel that it is vitally important that you walk away from your massage with me completely satisfied, knowing that we have addressed specifically all that you and your body need in order to improve.  Whether it is Deep Tissue on some areas, Swedish and Myofacial on others.  Or, focusing on one targeted area in particular, or a few.  We can discuss what is ailing you, and come up with a plan for your session, entirely unique to you.
