Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a disarmingly simple system of acupressure. It lays out a set of 26 "points" along the major energy pathways of your body. If one of your pathways becomes blocked, this creates stagnation in your energy field and leads to illness or discomfort. I use my hands to gently release any blockages in your energy pathways, and restore balance to your entire system. The whole experience is very relaxing, nurturing and therapeutic.

Medical Massage

$85 per hour

Medical Massage differs from regular Massage and Bodywork in that the treatment is specifically directed to resolve conditions diagnosed by a medical doctor.  I may use a variety of modalities or techniques during the treatment, but I focus the treatment only on the specific areas of the body related to the diagnosis.  This enhances the body’s natural self-healing process and reduces the needed recovery time from injury.

Your massage therapist starts massage with using relaxing and warming technigues which makes it easier for the therapist to connect to the underlying musculature and deeper connective tissue. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is important. Keep in mind that some soreness is common after the treatment. To relieve soreness, ice and plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
