Deep Tissue Swedish Massage
Welcome to your mini-retreat in the healing cabin in beautiful west Sonoma County.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils and an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. I am inspired by Esalen Massage and currently enrolled in the Esalen Massage Certification.
The benefits of this type of bodywork include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, greater flexibility, and whole body awareness.
Come enjoy and relax by the wood burning stove, and drink some herbal tea from the garden.
Traditional Thai Massage
I began my training in massage therapy with Thai Massage at the Sunshine Massage School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is at the heart of all the modalities I practice to cultivate loving-kindness, mindfulness, and equanimity. This state of mind benefits both me and the recipient and together we can experience a state of serenity and joy!
Traditional Thai massage is a dance. The recipient is assisted by the practitioner into movement and deep stretches through rhythmical bodywork and synchronized breathing. This allows for a profound opening and deep release of blocks in the nadis/sen lines/meridians systems. I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures. Thai massage helps release stress and relieve pain, it is practiced on a mat on the floor. No oil is applied, as you are fully dressed in comfortable clothing during the session.
Pregnancy/Postpartum Massage
Treat yourself and the babe to a 60 minute relaxing massage with scent-free oils and loads of cushions for a comfortable side-lying massage. I am certified in pregnancy/postpartum massage by the San Francisco School of Massage. I also have experience as Leah Kennedy's teacher's assistant for this course.
It is my joy to make this accessible no matter what state of mobility you may be experiencing during your pregnancy or postpartum. I am happy to travel to your home for an additional 10$.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort which may be 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 and connection with the baby.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness.
I offer pre-event and post-event massage on site for marathons and bike races. I delight in this work!
Chair Massage
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location!
I am happy to set up a healing booth and offer chair massage at special events, auctions, and parties.
In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over clothing. Chair massage sessions are shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
