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.

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork.

Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a “life force”, and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. 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.

These discolorations are not bruises.  The color and pattern of the marks depend on the level of stagnation in the area, and range from a bright red to dark purple, usually lasting 3 days to a week - sometimes longer if the person is very sick or sedentary. If there is no stagnation present, there will be only a pink marking which disappears in a few minutes to a couple of hours.  If the client receiving treatment sweats a lot on a daily basis - no marks may ever occur.  People who live/work/play in toxic environments (or were exposed to a heavy dose of toxic material) may consistently mark.  Sites, where there is old trauma or injury, may require multiple cupping treatments to remove all stagnation. You will find in follow-up treatments the marks will get progressively lighter as the pathogens are systemically removed from the body.

Face cupping is inexpensive, non-invasive, and serves as a safe alternative to surgery or chemical treatments. Facial cupping uses small, specially designed suction cups to lift and massage facial tissue. It is actually not a new therapy, women in Asia, Russia and Europe have been using negative pressure facial cupping for rejuvenation and maintenance for generations. There are many benefits:

• Increases oxygen-rich blood circulation

• Strengthens skin & connective tissues and stimulates fibroblast cells responsible for collagen and elasticity production

• Visibly reduces fine lines and deeper wrinkles

• Tones chin, jawline, neck & décolletage

• Reduce scars, excess oil & pore size

• Relaxes facial muscle tension & tightness

For best results, facial cupping is recommended two times a week until the desired effect, then one to two times monthly thereafter for maintenance.  I also prescribe and provide clients with instructions for self-massage and facial exercises for optimal results in the duration of these treatments.
