Gentle bodywork sessions are great for those who desire a quiet, calm, supportive space to unwind. Come rest on a cozy warm table, receive skilled therapeutic touch, and let your system experience a sense of inner calm.
This kind of bodywork offers space for tending to what arises in present-moment timing. It supports getting curious about the messages coming from the body, opening somatic dialogue, relaxation, accessing inner wisdom, and deepening body-mind connection. Essential oils may be used in any session, upon request.

Integrative CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is my specialty and favorite bodywork modality. You may also see it referred to as "CranioSacral Qigong" or "CranioSacral Energy Medicine." It is a beautiful blending of gentle bodywork and energy medicine. These sessions work with your fascial system (connective tissue), the patterns in your energy system, how your body may be holding musculoskeletal tension, impacts of old injuries, emotions, energetic blockages, etc. It is a gentle, yet powerful modality for supporting you with connecting deeply and consciously to your body, mind, emotions, and soul.
This eclectic practice works with the self-organizing intelligence of the body, listening to its unspoken language through tissue responses, rhythms, micro-movements, pulsations, and patterns of ease and resistance. We explore patterns of tension, bracing, fatigue, comfort, expansion, and other felt sensations. This work listens for and works with the subtle messages that come through the acupuncture meridians, cerebrospinal fluid, pulses, tissues, nervous system, chakras, and other pathways, working to support a deeper sense of being at home in your own body and more fully accessing your life force energy.
As a long-time bodyworker and energy medicine practitioner, I have found CranioSacral Therapy to be one of the gentlest, yet most powerful methods of listening deeply to the body while radiating a message of peace throughout the layers of our being. In addition, the acupuncture meridians run through the fascia (connective tissue) of the body. When the fascia is holding restrictions, energy doesn't flow properly. Because this work supports releasing these restrictions, the style of CranioSacral Energy Medicine I offer is a highly refined practice that supports holistic healing much like acupuncture, but without the use of needles.
Modalities such as CranioSacral Therapy, NeuroAffective Touch®, Body-Mind Centering®, and other somatic bodywork techniques may be integrated into each unique session. This work uses very gentle touch to work with the natural rhythms and self-healing principles of the body. Sessions support relaxation and unwinding patterns of held tension as you rest on a cozy, warm table and receive a gentle, quiet session. These sessions allow your nervous system to deeply rest.
You stay fully clothed so be sure to wear comfortable clothing such as what you would wear for yoga.

Commonly reported benefits of this work

Foot Reflexology
This modality supports relaxation, a sense of well-being, and local circulation of blood, lymph, and qi. Reflexology is a type of "microsystems therapy" meaning areas of the feet represent the entire body. Reflexology may promote better sleep, digestion, mood, and pain reduction. Integrative reflexology sessions include CranioSacral techniques at the feet to help release fascial restrictions throughout the body.

Symphony of the Cells™ Essential Oil Protocols
These sessions allow you to rest on a heated table while therapeutic grade essential oils are layered onto your back and feet and covered with hot towels. The oils are then worked into your back, feet, and scalp as you rest. This is a terrific modality to support relaxation while gaining the benefits of aromatherapy.
Essential oil protocols are not advised for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

Relaxation Massage
These sessions use integrative Asian Bodywork Therapy to support relaxation. Gentle to moderate pressure techniques support circulation, stress reduction, qi flow, and reducing musculoskeletal tension. Please note this is not deep tissue massage. It is relaxation-focused and is non-clinical in nature.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy may be booked with your massage as an add-on option. It uses gliding silicone suction cups to lift and decompress the fascia, working to release more deeply held tension and stagnation in the tissues. Please note that cupping generally leaves purplish/reddish suction marks on the skin that may last up to 7 days or more.
Cupping is not advised for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
