After more than 20 years of bodywork experience, I have come to believe that one of the biggest values of massage is making the client aware of – and helping to correct – less than optimal postural habits.

It’s amazing how many aches, pains and tight places we carry around with us that we are unaware of until someone starts poking on them. It also takes a considerable amount of energy to block out those aches and pains.  Believe it or not, much of it is self inflicted. Let me help you identify and correct the habits and ways you use your body that are causing you pain and holding you back.

In addition, it has been estimated that over 80% of disease is stress-related. Perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress.

Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

  • Decreased anxiety

  • Enhanced sleep quality

  • Greater energy

  • Improved concentration

  • Increased circulation

  • Reduced fatigue

Massage and bodywork can also help specifically address a number of health issues:

  • Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion

  • Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays

  • Ease medication dependence

  • Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system

  • Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles

  • Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts

  • Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin

  • Increase joint flexibility

  • Lessen depression and anxiety

  • Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks

  • Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation

  • Reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling

  • Reduce spasms and cramping

  • Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles

  • Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller

  • Relieve migraine pain
