and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance,

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 highly recommended. 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.

Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics.
Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long

promoting the body's natural immune function.

Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger
points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points,
except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body.

stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to
release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting
and profoundly transformative.

especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the
immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of
motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the
fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the
connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the
body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release
applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation
and relief from pain.

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or
workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your
location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is
that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and
awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into
your busy schedule.
