Integrative & Relaxation Massage

pic.jpg

A uniquely therapeutic bodywork session in which I custom blend techniques from many massage modalities to best meet you where you are and bring healing. Starting quietly, I tune into the unspoken language of the body, invoke invisible loving support, then improvise a blend of slow deep myofascial tissue release, gentle rocking, grounding compression work, fluid connecting strokes, energy holds, kneading, and range-of-movement gentle stretching techniques. I usually incorporate soothing abdominal work. And I also at times bring in guided visualizations of nature’s beauty. This work draws upon many years of training and is amazingly effective and sooo relaxing. $70 for 45 minutes…$120 for 75 minutes…$150 for 90 minutes…$200 for 120 minutes.

Thai Massage

A special love of mine; it blew my mind the first time I received one. You might think you want a massage to focus on your back…But a Thai massage will release your back through first opening up your feet, ankles, legs, hips, shoulders and neck. Plus it will realign you energetically.

Experience this wonderful blend of deep rhythmic compression massage, yoga-based passive stretching, and energy healing. Be lulled into an altered state by the dance-like feel of receiving Thai, and feel more peaceful, energized, and clear afterward. It can feel like having yoga gently done to you.

This style of bodywork is done fully clothed on either the massage table or on a special soft mat on the floor. Using this style of bodywork allows me to leverage my bodyweight in ways that are very conducive to deeply opening the body using elbows, knees, or even walking on the back or feet. Or it can be applied gently and still have transformative effects. Try Thai and you’re likely to love it.

$120 for 75 minutes…$150 for 90 minutes…$200 for 120 minutes…$250 for 150 minutes.

For Thai massage please wear clothes you can easily move in. (Sweat pants or yoga leggings and a simple t-shirt work well.)

Thai massage is said to have been invented by the personal physician of The Buddha and is part of the traditional medical healing practices of Thailand. I’ve been lucky to study some of this form with a truly legendary Thai healer in Thailand and with several of his students. This is me in 2001!

Hot Stones

Smooth jade & basalt river stones heated to hot-tub like temperatures are incorporated into your oil massage. I find they bring a profound quiet into a treatment, and I use them to apply and spread oil onto your skin, leaving them to radiate their heavy earthen warmth into key melting spots on your body. A lovely addition. Hot stones can be incorporated into your massage session for no additional charge.
