About me:
As
a chronic sufferer of low back pain since age 10, I began to seek treatment
through doctors and physical therapy with little success. Ultimately I was
rewarded when I was treated by a couple therapists who were trained in Deep
Tissue, Somatic Awareness and Cranial-Sacral balancing. I have also continued
to explore movement arts including modern dance, kung fu, t'ai chi, social
dance, acrobatics, trapeze and rope, pilates and now a continuing daily
practice of Iyengar Yoga and cardiovascular exercise.
Although Western medicine has much to offer, nothing replaces the skilled touch of an intuitive practitioner.
I have worked with adults and children in treating chronic pain and acute injuries. Whether you are an athlete who seeks deep sports massage as part of your training and recovery, or an office-worker with RSI or chronic desk-job-itis, I tailor our session to your needs and seek continued feedback. Depending on your needs, our session may involve an hour of traditional draped massage with deep tissue cream*, assisted stretching, or a bite-sized set of yoga postures to help you recover on your own.
* I use Biotone Deep Tissue Cream - a water-soluble non-greasy cream with excellent glide that will aid circulation and moisturize. All ingredients are non-synthetic and non-toxic. If you have a nut-allergy, or prefer a specific cream or none at all, please mention it in advance. I do not use oils or synthetic products.
