I used to think of massage as a luxury, but after understanding the extensive health benefits, I’ve come to see it as an important part of maintaining overall well-being. Regular massage has been shown to:

·         Reduce stress and promote relaxation
·         Reduce high blood pressure
·         Increase blood and lymph circulation
·         Reduce musculoskeletal pain and tension
·         Enhance  kinesthetic awareness and flexibility
·         Support physiological processes as related to the major body systems (respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, reproductive, endocrine)

I draw from a wide range of modalities including Swedish, Thai, Tui na (Chinese massage), Shiatsu, and Craniosacral Therapy.  I tailor each session to meet your needs and I often incorporate acupressure and aromatherapy to bring greater balance to your body systems. I specialize in working with women during pregnancy and postpartum, a time when nurturing touch and physiological support is especially important.
