Welcome

Welcome to my Website!

Some of you may know me already, for those of you who have just met me or have been recommended to me, hello! Browse around the site to learn more with the easy to use links on the top. Below is brief description about how I operate and why. 

During each massage session I like to begin with getting to know each client individually. My main focus is on what kind of conditions, medications, physical injuries, mental being, work, hobbies the client has and what pain level they feel as to why they are seeking a massage. I also encourage my clients to ask as many questions as you want to understand what massage is doing to help you and how you can continue helping yourself after massage. I will communicate during the massage what I feel and use techniques to best accommodate the client and their needs.

To begin I use Swedish massage to warm up the muscles and put them in a parasympathetic stage to relax and allow for the most effective healing. I then concentrate on finding the area of each part of the body that may have trigger points (knots). I use pressure and other massage techniques to release this tension that is causing a road block in your connective tissue, these knots or road blocks can have effects on other parts of your body that can limit range of motion and result in poor posture and unnecessary injuries. I like to integrate stretching as well into my massage sessions and end of course with a type of "feel good" techniques. When the session is over I will suggest more water intake in your daily diet and more stretching exercises you can do yourself at home.

I must emphasize that I am NOT a doctor, legally I cannot diagnose so please understand that "if" I suggest to see your physcian or family doctor for a personal concern I see that could be a contraindication for massage I am serious and will not risk potential harm. Example of common contraindications for massage would include a recent major injury, the flu or common cold, blood clots, etc. If you are not sure about a condition please ask a physician or search wikipedia.com to better understand.

I must decline any service to clients who have any contraindications until seen by a doctor or physician and has proof and a phone number I can reach to ensure safety. I must also decline any client that has HIV/AIDS or Herpes and I do not perform infant massage because of personal preference and safety. Thank you for understanding. 

If  you’d like to set up an appointment or have any questions at all click on "Contact Me" and send me a message. I will call or email you back to set up your appointment and answer any questions you might have.

Thanks for visiting, and hope to meet you soon!

With much love,
