I graduated from Brenneke School of Massage in Seattle in 1999 where I was blessed to study a wide variety of modalities, including Reiki, Loku Lomi, Herbal remedies, Aromatherapy, Myofascial, Craniosacral and Foot Reflexology. Then I went onto to study Jin Shin Do Acupressure, Acutonics and TCM at Bastyr University. I did an advanced course in Prenatal Massage Certification from Brian Utting School of Massage. I’ve studied Nepalese Sound Healing including Tibetan Gong Baths from Suren Shrestha. I am addicted to continuing education, so my studies also brought me to Feng Shui, Space Clearings, Energy Clearing & Astrology!
Nourish yourself with massage.
LIST OF MODALITIES
ACUPRESSURE
A traditional Chinese medicine technique using pressure applied by thumbs, elbows or hands to acupuncture points. Can release tension, open energy meridians, and treat systemic imbalances such as migraines, insomnia, and immune deficiency. Results include improved vitality and overall health benefits.
ACUTONICS
A system of vibrational sound healing rooted in Oriental medicine that uses tuning forks, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and rattles. Can be applied while client is fully clothed and can easily be combined with Acupressure and Reiki.
CRANIO-SACRAL
Founded by William Sutherland, DO, who believed if a practitioner listened deeply to the cranial system, it would teach exactly what to do. It works with cranial fluid tides to balance the body and promote healing. Particularly effective for all manner of head injuries, whiplash, headaches, TMJ Syndrome, and back injuries.
CUPPING
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique that uses a glass cup to create localized suction, increasing blood flow to an area to promote healing. It is particularly effective in areas of deep tension or knots (often shoulders). Cupping can release the armor of tension. Certain cupping spots can cure the common cold. Cupping detoxifies. It has shown that 10 minutes of cupping equals an hour of deep tissue massage.
DEEP TISSUE
Using deeper pressure, friction, and Myofascial techniques, a deep tissue massage can break up layers of fascia, release tension spots, and reduce adhesions. Deep tissue can give you a “hurts so good” feeling, but you should never experience real pain during a massage. It’s important to tell your therapist if you experience any pain or soreness outside your comfort level.
FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is applied pressure to the feet, based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet with the belief that reflex points will effect a physical change in the corresponding part of the body. For example, if you had sinus congestion, it may be relieved by pressure to the sinus reflex of the foot.
HAWAIIAN LOKU LOMI
Lomi in Hawaiian means to weave. Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage taught by Kahunas, which focuses on fluid, weaving like movements across the body, using forearms, elbows, and knuckles. It is a sacred system of healing that incorporates the ideas of Ho’oponopono. Loku Lomi is a deeper tissue variety of Lomi Lomi.
HOT STONE MASSAGE
First the back is warmed with steamy, hot towels. Then heated agate stones (which were collected from sacred Native Northwest beaches) are placed along the spine, hands, feet, and legs. This warms and soothes muscles and gives the body a deep sense of heat. Complete full body massage follows to further relax warmed muscles.
NATIVE AMERICAN HEALING SYSTEMS
This is a tradition of healing techniques that includes Smudging, clearing energy, purification, release, and opening energy centers to promote health and well being.
ONSITE MASSAGE
We can bring massage to you at your home or office. Either table or chair massage available. Additional set-up fees apply.
ORIENTAL MEDICINE/ TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM)
A broad system of healing that dates back more than 3,000 years, using specific techniques of massage, acupressure, cupping, tuina, and moxibustion to balance the body and promote health.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
Side-lying massage for mothers-to-be, a wonderful way to take care of yourself during pregnancy and to connect with your baby-to-be. Benefits include reduced back pain (including treatment of Sciatica), reduced swelling, reduced anxiety, improved circulation, and better sleep. Studies have shown that women who had regular prenatal massage had improved labor outcomes, better birth weights, fewer newborn health issues, and less postpartum depression.
SHIATSU
Japanese style of massage where traditionally the client is clothed, on a mat on the floor. Shiatsu can also be incorporated into table massage, using elbows, thumbs, and knuckles to release tension and loosen muscles.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Special massage techniques designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance before, during, and after sports events.
SWEDISH
Refers to most basic massage techniques, including effleurage (gliding stroke), petrissage (kneading), friction (deep tissue, cross fiber) and tapotement (rhythmic tapping).
TREATMENT
Massage is beneficial in treatment of injuries and for recuperating after surgery. This massage may be focused on achieving a goal, for instance improving walking ability after hip replacement surgery, so the focus may be on one area, yet you will still feel relaxed while improving the focal area.
TUINA
An Oriental medicine technique that incorporates Taoist principles to bring the body into homeostasis. Techniques include pushing down the spine; rapid, rhythmic pressing; kneading; dragging; and acupressure. It is so rejuvenating, I recommend it after illness or injury.
