Therapeutic Sessions
FSA/HSA Cards Can Be Used to Book!
I am a strong believer in an integrative approach to healing. From my experience, just stretch, strength, or bodywork isn't the singular solution. While you can book any specific modality I offer, I will often integrate them to serve your individual needs. Read more about the following offerings below:
Thai Massage, Intraoral, Prenatal, Yoga, Corrective Exercise.
Pay It Forward
As I set my own prices, I do not feel the need to accept tips for bookings made here. If you have the resources, and would like to pay it forward, you are welcome to contribute any amount that you would like. Just $5 can add up to allow me to offer sliding scale sessions to those who would otherwise not be able to access this care.
Sliding ScaleIf you do not have the resources for a full price session, please book a Sliding Scale Session or contact me directly if the listed price options do not fit you’re means.
Bodywork
Thai Massage - All my work is based in Thai Massage, a fully clothed style of bodywork done on a mat allows for access to deeper tissue and mobility work. Sessions can include deep compression, stretch, joint mobilization, cupping, and scraping.
Intraoral Massage - this modality is done with a gloved hand inside the mouth to access deeper jaw muscles that can’t be reached externally. It can be tremendously helpful for those with TMJ/jaw dysfunction/pain, headaches, and neck pain.
Pre/post natal - for any stage of pregnancy and beyond. Thai massage utilizes the side lying position often, so is an optimal modality during the course of pregnancy. I use gentle mobilization, soothing movements for the nervous system, and targeted work to release areas of strain that develop along the way.
Partner Thai Massage - This session is for a pair of friends or partners who are interested in learning simple Thai massage techniques together! This is a fun way to bond, and be able to provide relief for your friends and family.
Movement
A movement session will pull from my training in yoga, corrective exercise, and applied neurology to serve your individual needs.
The biggest goal in movement therapy, as with bodywork is to expand your awareness to allow your innate healing capacities to work for you.
We generally begin with assessments based on your intake, and will move through exercises that can be easily applied to create change. My goal is not to give you a million new exercises to add to your busy day, but to look at what activities you are already doing, and see how a change in awareness can elevate those activities.
One example might look like doing one simple core exercise that allows you to access your deep core in a new way so that you can apply this activation to any exercise or movement where it would be useful.
