Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. I have a special table with a a belly support that allows for face down positioning if a pregant woman desires. I use lots of pillows and bolsters to fully support moms for optimal relaxation. I use adequate pressure to ensure comfortable and therapuetic massage sessions for the hard-working and fast changing bodies of pregnant women.
Infant Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a very gentle pressure on the bony areas of a baby's head and body.

Babies that had a difficult or traumatic birth, cesarean or forceps delivery can all benefit from Cranio-sacral therapy.
