I am educated and experienced in many bodywork ideologies. If you are seeking a specific modality, just ask, most likely I have knowledge or can refer you to someone who does. I understand injuries and chronic pain, and have a unique approach to treatment that effectively reduces pain and improves the healing response.

The methods I employ may include any of the following according to your needs:

Deep-Tissue Massage- Deep compressive tissue lengthening and friction techniques, to encourage deep blood flow, nutrition, and fibre re-organization.

Neuro-Muscular Therapy- Methods of promoting proper function of the muscles and connective tissues by re-education of the neuro-mechanisms which control their function. By gentle positioning, holding, stretching, or active movement, to encourage the body-mind-spirit to re-establish motion where you may feel lost, stuck, or pain.
