Thai massage is also called Thai Yoga massage, because I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. My clients say Thai massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai massage session will help you release stress and relieve pain, and help you function more effectively at work and home.
Experience the transformative power of Thai bodywork, a holistic practice rooted in ancient traditions. Often referred to as "lazy yoga," this dynamic therapy combines assisted stretches, acupressure, and rhythmic compression to release tension, improve flexibility, and restore balance to the body and mind.
During your session, you'll remain fully clothed on a comfortable mat as your practitioner uses hands, feet, knees, and elbows to guide your body through gentle movements and targeted pressure points. Thai bodywork is tailored to your needs, offering relief from pain, increased mobility, and a profound sense of relaxation.
Discover the perfect blend of physical rejuvenation and energetic alignment with this deeply healing practice. Perfect for anyone seeking to enhance flexibility, reduce stress, or explore a deeper connection to their body’s natural rhythm.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that 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.

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
Cupping and other tools may be used.

In this class, I will tailor a 30 minute sequence for both participants to learn. This can be geared toward chronic pain patterns, injuries, or the goal of relaxation.
I will demonstrate the sequence on one student while teaching the other tips and technique, then s/he will have the opportunity to practice while I can guide communication and instruction to both parties. After a short break, the two students will switch places and we will repeat the above sequence.

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location.

I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
