MODALITIES-TECHNIQUES
Swedish - muscle relaxing movements that includes gliding, kneading, friction, and tapotement (light tapping) of muscles. Massage oil and/or lotion is used in this modality.
Deep Tissue - focuses on deeper layers of muscle tissue. It releases chronic patterns of tension. It can be uncomfortable and even painful, but the results can be astounding.
Reiki - an energy channeling that heals physical and emotional pain. It is a gentle, non invasive technique. The practitioner simply places hands on key areas (chakras) of the client.
Myofacial - stretching and elongating muscles and the surrounding fascia.
Shiatsu - light finger pressure on meridian points throughout the body. It is based on the same principles as acupuncture.
Reflexology - working the meridians on hands and feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the duration of a session? My sessions generally last one hour. In some cases, the session may last a little longer. One hour to me is not fifty minutes. Hot stone therapy will last about an hour and a half. There also may be a consultation after the session.
Do I have to remove my clothes? Most massage modalities require that a client’s skin and muscles are unimpeded. You may undress to your comfort level. You will be covered by a sheet and the only part that is exposed is the body part that is being massaged.
What forms of payment do you accept? I accept cash or checks. There is a twenty dollar service charge on returned checks.
Do you accept insurance? No, but I can supply you with an invoice of payment to forward to your insurance company.
What should I expect from a massage? That depends on the type of massage and what the client needs. In general, after a massage you should feel relaxed and calm. If your session required deeper tissue work on specific areas, your may experience some soreness. This may last for a day or two but will subside.
What should I do after a massage? You should relax and do nothing that is strenuous. Also, drink plenty of water to flush the toxins and adhesions that the massage has released.
How frequently should I get a massage? Frequency depends on many factors including specific condition, program, and economics. Clients’ appointments range from weekly, twice a month, once a month, and every six weeks. My advice is to get a massage at least once a month.
