PHILOSOPHY

​

My philosophy is aligned with that of Osteopathic Medicine:

​

"The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit. The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance.  Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function."

( - approved definition of principles by the American Osteopathic Association House of Delegates)

​

TECHNIQUE

 

My techniques are a combination of training in many different forms of pain relief therapy.  In addition to Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage, I employ principles from many different forms of bodywork such as Medical Massage, Reiki, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, and especially Ortho-Bionomy.  Ortho-bionomy is a form of therapeutic bodywork, based on the principle that gentle and non-invasive body alignment has a positive influence on physical and emotional disorders.  I have been studying and using these techniques since 2010.

WHY DID I CHOOSE MASSAGE?

​

I was introduced to massage via a gift certificate from a friend. After receiving my first massage, I didn't know whether I wanted to take a nap or do cartwheels!  I was so relaxed, yet I could move so freely.

Massage was the only treatment that would relieve my headaches and neck pain from a serious car accident and my stressful secretarial job. I felt compelled to share that healing help with others!
