Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures dramatic physical, hormonal, and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps relieve pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation. Regular massage before childbirth promotes easier and shorter labor, as well as a faster recovery. I have over 20 hours of prenatal and infant massage training.
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 deep tissue work should not be painful, however soreness is fairly common after the treatment. Drinking plenty of water will promote the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Infant Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically to promote the healthy development of your infant. Caring human touch is crucial for a healthy thriving baby, and the benefits of massaging your infant are numerous. For example, many infants show improved growth and development of the brain and nervous system with regular massage. Infant massage has also been shown to improve the quality of a baby's digestion and sleep, as well as strengthening their immune system. Sessions include instruction for parents to help them bond with and comfort baby.

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 is brought to your location.

Chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule. Length of chair sessions can be determined based on your needs. A travel fee of $15 applies.
