My style of massage

Massage is "structured touching" or touching with purpose.  This purpose may be directed towards relieving muscle pain and stress, increasing body awareness, or bringing equilibrium to a life in crisis. Tangible outcomes can be experienced in the active stimulation of skin, lymph and blood, relaxation of the muscles and nervous system, elimination of metabolic waste, stretching of connective tissues and release of a tranquilizing effect into the entire organism through the parasympathetic nervous system. Massage is a healthy way of handling stress.

The recipient is gently urged to become an active participant through heightened awareness and surrendering to a deep sensing place.  Long, lengthening strokes with gentle rocking and stretching, passive joint movement, sculpting of deep musculature, delicate cranial balancing, subtle neural reeducation and the precision of Chinese point work are all part of the somatic offering.

However, personal attention takes precedence over technique; thus each massage session is unique. Bodywork happens any time you focus attention on the life of your body, whether while playing sports, working in your garden, or simply feeling your feet on the floor. Thus the meditation of receiving touch from another is part of a larger picture of richness which can put you very firmly in touch with your more personal self.
