My most popular style, loved by both those with structural issues they know about, as well as those who just can’t seem to figure out why their pain doesn’t get better with typical massage. While I always use my knowledge of structural balancing in all massage modalities, I also offer specific neuro-structural work to focus on major complaints such as neck pain, scoliosis, low back pain, pelvic and tailbone traumas or imbalances, and more.

This modality may also include aspects of myofascial release, sports, medical, &/or Swedish or deep tissue techniques. You may read a bit more about each of these below. Tools such as heat, vibration, GuaSha, cupping, and more may also be used. Be sure to ask specifically for tools you are interested in having incorporated if you have a preference, otherwise I will use what feels appropriate.

The foundation for many massage modalities, Swedish massage focuses on integration of the whole body through a variety of strokes. This can be a wonderful place to begin for the new to massage, and is still for some the beloved place to always return to, integrating wellness through nourishing touch.

Depth of pressure can be adjusted according to your needs, and can get reasonably deep if both client and practitioner see it as helpful. I incorporate various types of strokes in my deep tissue massage, including Okazaki’s Oriental style elbow massage, using my elbows to get deeper into the tissue than my hands would allow.

However, if what you desire is a truly deep, pinpoint precision massage that is more than just “fluff and buff” style relaxation Swedish, or if you have specific pain points, imbalances or other issues you want addressed, then my advanced massage services are what you need.

A wonderful adjunct to other massage modalities, or as a profound session in and of itself, MFR melts the connective tissue of the body in order to free movement of the muscles underneath, and correct posture. This modality can free adhesions in the tissues, opening up new layers of freedom that enable deeper massage work, and profound relaxation as well as structural change. The shearing motion of connective tissue layers against one another, in a massage that uses no lubrication but rather seeks to “hook” the fascia layers and stretch them, brings not only new movement but increases the hydration of connective tissue. This moves it from a gel state to a sol state, allowing for deeper change to take place throughout the session. Unwind from both ends, and spiral your way back to health!

Integrating my knowledge of neuro-structural integration, you may ask for an additional focus on sports or medical styles, which indicates to me your desire to have GuaSha, cupping, or other massage tools, as well as possibly more stretching, movement, and rigorous muscle release work, to address specific musculo-skeletal complaints.

NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) & Corrective Exercise is a root-cause approach to pain and movement dysfunction. Using manual muscle testing and corrective exercise, I identify compensation patterns in the nervous system and retrain proper muscle activation to reduce pain, improve strength, and restore functional movement.
