Massage

So, you need of a massage? Well, you’ve come to the right place! As a Licensed Massage Therapist with years of experience, I take a unique approach to massage therapy. My approach to Massage Therapy is all about function because, let’s face it – nobody wants temporary relief. I search for the root (or roots) of the problem. In your session, I’ll use a wide range of modalities to peel away layers of stress, restore mobility to those injured muscles and tissues, and even ease those pesky stiff joints and hot spots.

Some benefits of massage:

– Relieve pain and improve range of motion.
– Assist with shorter, easier labor and hospital stays for mom.
– Boost the immune system by stimulating lymph flow.
– Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
– Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
– Increase joint flexibility.
– Reduce depression and anxiety.
– Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
– Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and organs, improving circulation.
– Reduce muscle spasms and cramping.
– Release endorphins— that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
– Relieve migraine pain.
