Natural Healing Therapy
Thai massage
An Ancient Science
Thai massage is an ancient healing modality with the intention of Metta which translates to loving-kindness. You will be guided into balance and harmony through; passive stretching, slow compressions, and traction of the joints clearing obstructions and stagnation in the body, mind, and spirit. Thai massage is a fully clothed therapy that takes place on a futon and benefits people of all ages and bodies. I offer Deep Thai, Gentle Thai, Abdominal Thai and Prenatal Thai massage.
Craniosacral Therapy
Dynamic Lifeforce
CranioSacral therapy is a holistic therapy focusing on physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. It is founded on the belief that the body knows what it needs to heal. The role of the therapist is to hold space and be guided by what the patient reveals. This therapy helps to identify blocks and patterns that prevent total health. The focus of this treatment can be various such as, Myofacial Release, SomatoEmotional Release, Inner Chlid Work, healthy flow of the cerebrospinal fluid and CranioSacral holds to release any restriction or improper alignment of Cranial bones. This treatment can go many ways, but will leave you in a deeply relaxed and nurtured state.

We can incorporate multiple modalities such as Thai table stretching, Reflexology, and Myofascial focused works. We will explore your restrictions or injury while moving towards a place of freedom in movement and biodynamic wellness. This is a therapeutic massage with some deep tissue focus but not a deep-tissue massage. Nothing is ever forced here so we go slow in intentional in this work.
Reflexology
Body in Balance
Reflexology is a method of working points in the feet, hands, and ears that correspond to organs, systems, and parts of the body. It is an excellent tool to use when part of the body is inaccessible due to injury or illness. It brings balance to the whole self and calms the nervous system by bringing the body to homeostasis.

Embody Somatic Bodywork
Connect and Feel
Embodiment in somatic therapy applies mindfulness and emotional practices to awaken the body's communication and awareness to deepen the relationship with oneself. Learning to, and holding a safe space for all that is you provides self-validation and integration of your experiences and emotion. It is an experience that truly allows deep self-love, therefore, bringing you closer to feeling in tune and integrating emotions, and processing beliefs about yourself and the world you exist in. This is an integrated Bodywork/CranioSacral therapy experience focused on your internal resistance and external challenges. Using somatic processes, inner child work, and SomatoEmotional Release to help resolve and integrate for deep clarity and a coming home to self.
The way we move is the way we live.
