My massage style is both intuitive and intentional. Each session will be a blend of techniques based upon your needs.
I offer three types of massage sessions:

Manual Lymph Drainage—treatment to enhance movement of the lymph and reduce edema.
Intraoral—treatment to release jaw tension and reduce pain.

Functional Integration® sessions are an integral part of the Feldenkrais Method®. Gentle touch and movement suggest new ways to move in action and encourage the release of habitual holding patterns that are the cause of unnecessary effort and stress.
In Awareness Through Movement® classes you are guided through a series of movements with the intention of improving your awareness of how you move and relate to yourself. These classes use mindfulness and alternating periods of activity and rest to encourage changes in habitual movement patterns which maybe contributing to pain, fatigue, stress, and low self-confidence.

If you are dealing with chronic muscle pain and tension there is a strong possibility that it may be coming from holding in the fascia.
ATSI is a series of 3 or 12 sessions that systematically address the fascia in our body that gives us both stability and flexibility in motion. The primary intent is to balance the soft tissue so that it supports an aligned standing posture as well as freedom of movement.
Single-sessions are also available.
