Prenatal and Postpartum Massage
Prenatal and Postpartum Massage (for 2nd trimester and after only) focuses on supporting women during pregnancy and attending to the specific needs and problems of each mother-to-be. There are many benefits to prenatal massage including stress and pain relief (especially in the hips and back), stimulation of lymph & blood circulation which help eliminate wastes and promote healthy oxygen absorption to you and your baby and hormone balance. As a mother myself I cannot stress the relief that one can get from prenatal massage! During my certification for prenatal and postpartum massage the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system, the three stages of labor and some common medical interventions and tests that occur during labor were taught as well as massage techniques and contraindications. Postpartum massage focuses on a complete body recovery and relaxation of all those tired muscles strained during your pregnancy and labor. As of June 2010 I will be on my way to becoming a Certified Birth Doula and will know more advanced techniques for alleviating pain and stress for pregnant women as well as pain-relieving tips and exercises for a healthy and happy labor.

Integrated Deep Tissue Massage
Integrated Deep Tissue Massage is a skillful application of soft tissue techniques that allow deeper access to the fascia and muscular layers of the body. This approach creates a greater sense of relief from chronic muscular tension, which if untreated, can reduce blood flow and restrict the removal of metabolic wastes, resulting in pain and loss of function. Since the typical superficial and passive massage techniques often do not provide the desired relief, frustrated clients can experience greater reflexive muscular tension. Utilizing cross-fiber friction, passive movement, myofascial release, trigger-point therapy as well as breath and positioning I can help break the pattern of muscle-pain cycles that result from our daily routines, repetitive movements and injuries. I have over 5 years experience working with injured and chronic pain patients at Physical Therapy/Chiropractic clinics. My goal is to see results and to enhance the overall treatment effectiveness for the specific need of each client. I can also incorporate Active Isolated Stretching Techniques with the Integrated Deep Tissue for even better results.

REflexology
Reflexology is a natural bodywork technique found to improve circulation and promote deep relaxation throughout the body. This gentle modality (which focuses on stimulating reflex points in the feet) is a powerful way to relieve tension and stress and to increase one's sense of overall well-being.
