massage treatments
My massage treatments are approximately 75 minutes in length, allowing for variation in every session based on individual needs. Throughout my career, I have found that 75 minute sessions work most optimally for my style of work.

deep tissue massage
When asked what type of work I provide, I often reply by explaining how I like to work deep, but slowly and consciously. I do not like to force, but rather let the tissues respond and allow me in to the deeper layers. While assessing, I'll often use deep static pressure and fascial release. As the body begins to respond and soften, I can then work into the deeper layers.
Muscles work in relationships, and the style of massage I provide is especially helpful for issues related to misalignment, repetitive motion and chronic injury. As tension is released in certain muscles, other will be given more freedom to function properly, restoring ease and balance in the body. Skilled work, communication and client education combine for a great massage experience resulting in lasting changes. Whether maintaining overall health or peaking for an important event, my detailed, structural and goal-oriented style makes my work particularly effective.
injury treatment
I love problems and specialize in treating injuries, whether nagging or sudden traumas. While working the area immediately effected by the injury, I also take into consideration other areas that may either be affecting the injured area or are being secondarily traumatized by the injured area. I have great success in treating even the most difficult of problems by asking questions as to why this injury occurred in the first place, thinking creatively about the best possible treatment I can provide and recommending other health care treatment as seems appropriate.
sports massage
When getting ready for an important event, sports massage can be a great way to be sure your muscles are in the best condition they can be for your big day. What's better than a good massage of sore muscles following your success? I generally will use a combination of deep tissue and Swedish massage in my sports massage treatments, making them effective, yet easy for the body to recover from. The goal in a sports massage is more about increasing circulation to the muscles and tendons and less on making big structural changes that the body may need some time to adapt to.
swedish massage
Swedish massage emphasizes increasing circulation throughout the body using kneading, rolling and deep long strokes. It is wonderful for easing general aches and pains, for a first-time massage or for overall relaxation of the body and mind.
