Massage | Structural Integration | Yoga
Through hands-on massage, bodywork, private yoga and small group
yoga classes, I work with my clients to achieve pain relief, relaxation,
embodiment, and better body awareness.
You don’t have to live with
chronic pain, stress, and
restricted movement…
Massage and bodywork can help ease these conditions and change the way you move through the world, helping you live in better alignment - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Services
Massage & Bodywork
I blend a variety of massage modalities, some eastern techniques, and intuitive components that create a unique massage intended to relieve pain while inviting relaxation/restoration.
Yoga
I offer both private yoga & small group yoga classes by request. For the time being, these sessions are taught in my private office.
Structural Integration
Using techniques that access the deeper tissues in the body along with client movement, Structural Integration realigns the body with the intent to improve posture and relieve the chronic pain/tension that comes from holding ourselves in poor postural patterns.
