Whether you are stressed out, run down, have a sore back or other injury, massage is the best modality to give you a new sense of freedom and energy.
I am a qualified massage therapist with 14 years experience. and have studied Esalen and Kahuna massage, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Trager work, shiatsu, deep tissue and remedial work. Combining these different massage styles makes for a powerful, deeply relaxing experience. Find out why many say that this is the best massage they have ever experienced.
SERVICES
Massage is the oldest form of healing - every indigenous system of medicine includes some sort of massage work. Why? Because the touch of the human hand can be deeply healing and with the correct techniques this touch can awaken, realign and bring the body back into balance.
I love massage and love sharing its benefits with as many people as I can. I have spent more than 14 years learning how to massage the body so that the massage experience I offer my clients can reach deeper and deeper levels.
Some of the massage styles I offer include:
RELAXATION MASSAGE
The hallmark of Esalen massage is the quality of its touch and the long,integrative strokes that sweep from head to toe. It is somethng to be experienced. This is a full body, warm oil massage that also includes acupressure techniques to relieve stress and promote deep relaxation. Pressure is adjusted according to your requirements from light touch to deep tissue. See this page http://www.atpeacemedia.com/pages/videoESALENindex.html for an excerpt of a video on Esalen massage
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy is a profoundly deep, yet gentle therapy, where the practitioner listens to the client's body through the gentle touch of his skilled hands.
Just this simple touch can initiate profound healing changes in the body.
If you are interested in meditation, you might wish to explore the deeper states that emerge through a craniosacral session
SHIATSU MASSAGE
I learnt Shiatsu and Thai massage because I wanted to understand more how to work with the body's energy. Also you feel great after a shiatsu. Contrary to popular belief shiatsu does not have to be painful. It is a form of body work that originates from Japan. It does not use oil and involves using the thumbs, fingers, hands, elbows and sometimes the feet to work the body's meridians and acupuncture points. I like to include lots of stretches to promote flexibility and revitalise the body. Having a practitioner put you in a stretch position is a totally different experience than doing it yourself.
REMEDIAL MASSAGE
I believe all massage is remedial, but if there is a presenting problem then I use specific remedial techniques such as deep tissue, positional release, trigger point, and myofascial release to relieve problem, painful areas.
TRAGER WORK
Trager work dovetails well with massage, and particularly with deep tissue as it encourages another way to free joints and muscles. Developed by Milton Trager this form of bodywork uses gentle rhythmic rocking to allow tissue and joints to release and soften to promote a sense of well-being. Milton Trager's mantra was "What could be lighter? What could be easier?" It is with these questions in mind that a Trager practitioner approaches his client. See http://www.trager.com/approach.html for further information about this gentle yet very effective technique.
