Modalities

I approach bodywork as a time to nourish the body and spirit with touch, movement, and stillness. I use pressure, stretching, and energy work to soften places that are holding tension and support healthy alignment and flow.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a form of bodywork from Japan that is based in Chinese Medicine. It involves pressure and stretching to circulate ki through channels called meridians.

Thai Therapeutics

Thai massage is a form of bodywork from Thailand with ties to yoga and Ayurveda. It involves stretching and pressure through the tissues and tendons to clear space in the body. It is a wonderful tool for restoring alignment and relieving stiffness.

The five elements are a framework from Chinese Medicine that help balance physical and energetic states through the wisdom of cycles in the natural world.
