Integrative Bodywork

Each body has a story.
I am committed to offering you the best care for your unique story.

Massage therapies (therapeutic, deep tissue & relaxation massage), Manual Lymph Drainage, and CranioSacral therapy are used alone or in combination with movement and breath-centered therapies to release tension and support overall well-being. Addressing structural and core issues, as well as specific injuries and injury prevention, each session is tailored to your particular needs. The first session includes a thorough intake and postural assessment. A brief moment will be taken with each consecutive session to reassess and make sure that all sessions are tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and concerns. 

Treatment for jaw tension and pain (TMJ)
TMJ (tempero mandibular joint) care is helpful for many of the common discomforts that arise from increased stress and tension in the jaw, such as headaches, migraines, misalignment and clicking of the jaw, pain and discomfort, facial pain (and facial tension lines…) reflexive hip and pelvic floor tension. Jaw tension can cause musculoskeletal tension in the hips and vice versa, so relieving one area may reflexively impact the other. TMJ care can therefore be beneficial with both hip and pelvic tension.
Sessions focusing on the TMJ include work targeting the scalp, head, neck, shoulders and back as well as facial and intra-oral work (gloved hand inside the mouth). This practice is open to all. It can also be incorporated into pre and postnatal bodywork sessions as well as integrated pelvic floor health.

Some of the tools you can ask for or might find me using when appropriate and useful (at no extra cost)
The massage table is equipped with a Biomat which provides infrared heat as well as many other health benefits.
The Lanshin Massager by Acera can be used for TMJ pain as well as tight and sore muscle.
Castor oil packs and heating pads are used for post surgery scar tissue or adhesions, including C. section scar care.
Green Clay strips (argile verte) is an excellent anti inflammatory, soothing for both skin and achy joints.
