Deep tissue massage employs a vigorous technique designed to penetrate the deeper layers of muscle, while being mindful of, and communicative about, the client's pain tolerance. The session is initiated by gently warming the muscle groups to facilitate access to deeper tissue, which helps to break down adhesions, enhances blood circulation, and delivers essential nutrients to support natural healing processes. Mild soreness may occur after the session due to its intensity, therefore maintaining proper hydration is essential. This therapeutic approach not only alleviates pain but also stimulates the release of serotonin, promoting an overall sense of well-being and relaxation.

Intra Oral is a specialized manual technique that focuses on the often-overlooked muscles within the mouth and surrounding areas, including the anterior neck, scalp, base of the skull, and upper torso. During this treatment, your therapist uses a gloved hand to employ slow, methodical, and gentle pressure within and without the mouth to alleviate tension and discomfort, ensuring a non-painful experience, even during more intensive sessions. It is especially beneficial for those experiencing chronic pain related to TMJ dysfunction, whiplash, bruxism, anxiety, stress, emotional trauma, trigger points, and chronic migraines.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) aims to improve the functioning of the central nervous system and support emotional and energetic balance. CST is a form of osteopathic medicine. It is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on treatment designed to enhance the body's natural healing abilities by using a light touch of under 5 grams to release restrictions within the craniosacral system. This subtle manipulation positively influences the pressure and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which can alleviate various conditions such as chronic pain, post concussion syndrome, headaches, TMJ and sleep disorders while promoting overall relaxation.

SomatoEmotional Release™ is a therapeutic modality for releasing “tissue memory” (or memories held in tissue), thereby helping to decrease the residual and adverse effects of past physical/emotional traumas or negative experiences. Clinically, it is understood that physical forces enter a person's body at the time of an injury (or negative experience), and that often the body retains the emotional energy along with the physical force, and can, in time, develop symptoms of pain, musculoskeletal dysfunction, or emotional stress. This modality is a holistic mind-body approach, that may assist a person in gaining insight as to how a held trauma is influencing their emotional and physical health. Very delicate touch is used, positions are held for long times, and open communication about what the client is feeling both emotionally and physically is encouraged.

Before beginning the session, a comprehensive health intake will be conducted to ensure the therapy is appropriate for your specific health needs, as certain conditions may contraindicate lymphatic massage.

(At this time, for expectant mothers past 3 months, the work will be done in a supported side lying position, as specialized materials are required to offer you a face down experience.
