To maximize your session, know the physical state of your body, the emotional state of your mind, and the strength of your spiritual connection.   Then figure out where you want to be on all levels. 

That is where we can start your journey to overall health.

Therapeutic Massage can be more then a quick fix of a sore muscle.  Consider the following:

• a repetitive use injury requires identifying the repetitive motion, adjusting that motion, and working on the sore muscle

• postural issues can cause permanent muscular problems if the posture is not corrected so let’s correct and massage

• chronic issues take time to build up therefore time to understand all of the contributing factors, look at all of the factors

• scar tissue has a tendency to lay down haphazardly to repair your body and can cause movement restrictions

• trauma gets stored in the tissues, massage does help to address physical concerns as well as the trauma being stored at the cellular level.

I ask you to take a few minutes to listen to what your body is telling you and why.  Then WE can work together to address your concerns and leave you with home care ideas.  If you can’t fully understand what is going on, come on in and I’ll ask you some questions.

​

Relaxation Massage: If you just want to come in and RELAX, then clear your mind and we’ll get you in the zone.  Relaxation massage is more powerful then some believe.  It is only by quieting the mind that the body can rest and recover.

Others things to do prior to your massage:

• Don’t rush to your appointment, that  causes anxiety and it’s harder to jump into relaxing

• Drink extra water as massage does flush things through you

• Ask any questions before, during, or after your massage that you may have

• Let me know if ANYTHING needs to be adjusted during your treatment because it is YOUR massage

• You can bring your ipod and listen to the music that dances with your soul
