4 things your massage therapist wants you to know...

You love to get massages but are unsure of the true benefits and how to get the most from your massage sessions.


1. Massage therapy requires consistency and time to reap benefits. Our bodies experience muscular imbalances over time, and as we grow older it takes some time to undo them. Each bodywork makes effort to release chronic muscular holding patterns and fix overall posture. At the end of each session, I offer suggestions for home care --- for stress relief, for stretching, for relaxation.


2. Massage therapy not only feels good, but helps overworked and overloaded muscle tissues rest, repair, and recover after strenuous activity or daily stresses. Regular massageimproves quality of life, diminishes everyday aches and pains and keeps stress levels at a minimum.


3. There are many styles of massage therapy and every therapist is different. Keep finding a good therapist for your specific needs --- relaxation, stress relief, clinical bodywork, etc. Performing bodywork is always with intention, and both parties, the therapist and client that is, make it clear from the start of the session.


4. Some massage therapists possess a great gift --- warm healing hands. But for most, therapists act as facilitators for body healing. Give the body time to heal, to eliminate stress and manage everyday aches and pains. Get regular massages.

I want to work with you to achieve your health and wellness goals.

Whether your goal is to reduce muscular tension, address chronic back pain, de-stress or simply find your serenity, my commitment to the highest quality of care will positively help you get there at my affordable prices.


Benefits of Massage


About 90% of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is a very effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:


    Decreased anxiety.

    Enhanced sleep quality.

    Greater energy.

    Improved concentration.

    Increased circulation.

    Reduced fatigue.


Massage/Bodywork can:


    Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.

    Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.

    Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.

    Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.

    Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.

    Increase joint flexibility.

    Lessen depression and anxiety.

    Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.

    Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.

    Reduce spasms and cramping.

    Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.

    Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
