Therapeutic Massage is aimed at relieving chronic disorders and musculoskeletal pain. During Therapeutic Treatment I work to restore balance and harmony to the body's systemic and functional/biomechanical use. A variety of techniques (such as myofascial release, acupressure, deep tissue, and active/passive stretching) are used to achieve positive results for the body in relation to the client's needs and goals. Regular Therapeutic Massage Therapy can resolve chronic pain as well as improve circulation, lymphatic, and neurological functioning.

Relaxation Massage Therapy helps de-stress and loosen up the body. This type of treatment is focused on reducing the levels of cortisol in the body which relieves stress and induces a sense of well-being along with relaxation. Relaxation Massage is a great option for those who lead busy lives and need regular self-care to restore their body's natural hormone levels while maintaining a demanding schedule. The treatment consists of flowing strokes, kneading and gentle manipulations of the muscles performed at the clients preferred depth and pressure.
