SERVICES

Integrated Table Massage
An intuitive blend of many bodywork modalities tailored to your needs and preferences. You might want a soothing relaxation massage. You might want deep, intense pressure. You might want relief from back pain or muscle spasms. You might want subtle, energetic work. Hot packs are available upon request

Swedish Relaxation Massage
A variety of strokes designed to increase circulation and induce relaxation. The strokes can be long and soothing, fast and invigorating, deep and penetrating, or some combination, depending on your preference.

Zen Shiatsu
A body work from Japan, that combines gentle stretches with pressure points along energy pathways called meridians. Shiatsu is received fully clothed. In a traditional session, I ask questions and "read" your hara to determine which meridians should be worked to best bring your body into balance. I like integrating Shiatsu into every massage, especially on the legs. The combination of stretching, movement, and acupressure is deeply satisfying.

Hakomi
Hakomi is a method of assisted self stuy which I use to help you deepen your understanding of what you hold in your body. Insights you gain can help you let go of restrictions and rigidities on a physical, mental and emotional level, thus creating lasting change. You can read more about Hakomi at www.hakomi.com.

Chair Massage
A special massage chair can be used for people who are not comfortable on a massage table. The chair provides the therapist with especially good access to the neck and shoulders. The massage chair can also be taken to parties, offices, festivals, etc. See Onsite Chair Massage

Couples Massage
Since there are several massage therapists at Creekside Whole Health Center, we can arrange to massage both members of a couple in separate rooms at the same time. I also consult with couples who want help with massaging each other. Does your partner have low back pain? menstrual cramps? headaches? anxiety? I can show you some simple techniques to help. We will find things you can do in your own home with the equipment you have.

Special Populations
I very much enjoy working on pregnant women. I consider it a great honor and mystery to connect so intimately with two beings at once. Massage can be helpful for many of the health issues that surface during pregnancy. Shiatsu, with its focus on the side-lying position is well suited for pregnancy work.

I also enjoy massaging elder adults. I work at a retirement community in Temple where I have a regular clientelle of men and women ages 77 to 94. I have been able to provide some relief for people suffering from arthritis, Parkinsons, neuropathy, edema, muscle atrophy, and general aches and pains. Massage improves many conditions which the eldrly suffer from, such as poor circulation, stiffness, poor sleep, poor appetite, and poor digestion.
