In my 26 years of experience working with people, I have always loved the timelessness of a session - everything stops and the only focus is the client.

I love creating sacred space for my clients to relax and let go of all the 'shoulds'. Giving to yourself 'should' be at the top of your list! The more you can reenergize and reclaim your own energy, the stronger you are when you go out into the world.

My background is in Chinese Medical Theory and Acupressure. In any of the modalities I use, I am paying special attention to the energy meridians running through your body, and focusing on the five elements in order to bring balance to your body, spirit, and mind.

BAREFOOT SHIATSU is a combination of Thai and Japanese bodywork, acupressure, Chinese Medical Theory and reflexology. You are fully clothed and the work is done on a futon on the floor. I use my feet on the larger muscles on the back of the body, and I incorporate stretching and compression on the energy meridians and specific acupressure points. The aim of this form of bodywork is energetic and emotional balance. You may be more alert at the end of this session.

SWEDISH INTEGRATIVE MASSAGE and DEEP TISSUE THERAPY are often done in the same session. More like a traditional table massage, I use different types of rubbing and compression on muscles. It helps muscles to relax and soothes the nervous system. I use light, non-scented lotion on the skin. You are unclothed to your comfort level, but fully draped on the table.

REFLEXOLOGY is hand and foot massage with focus on the map of the body as represented on the hands and feet. I incorporate this technique in every session, but can create a session using it exclusively.

COMFORT TOUCH® is a nurturing style of acupressure that brings the benefits of touch to a broad range of people in need. Its primary intention is to provide comfort through techniques that promote deep relaxation and relief from pain. Safe enough for infants and the elderly, it gives special consideration to the physical and emotional needs of the elderly and those coping with chronic illness. It offers the benefits of touch to those for whom conventional massage can cause discomfort or even injury.

Comfort Touch® can be practiced safely and effectively in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, hospices, home care and long-term care facilities. It can be performed with the client in a wheelchair, in a hospital bed, a regular bed, in a recliner or in a chair. Because it does not require the use of oil or lotion, the client can be fully clothed.

BODY ENERGY THERAPIES Commonly called an "Aura Healing" , this is based on an awareness of the electromagnetic field (aura), which surrounds and infuses the human body. This gentle and soothing technique helps to balance, energize, and stabilize this field. You may experiences a sense of deep relaxation and well-being. You are fully clothed, and may be seated or lying down.
