*****************************
All
massages are performed in a safe, non-sexual and professional manner, which
promotes good health and general well being.
Reasonable
rates: $70 per hour. I offer first
time, couples, students and multiple session discounts.
My work involves mostly the Swedish
technique, with influences from Thai massage, using gentle rhythmic acupressure
and Lomi-Lomi for deeper work.. I typically employ stretches, range-of-motion,
vibration, and jostling.
You can expect many of these possibilities from the
massage I offer...
o
relaxes
both the mind and body, relieving everyday stress
o
restores
energy, and creates new energy reserves
o
brings
more blood to the body’s surface for healthier, more pliable skin
o
flushes
trapped toxins out of the soft tissues, like wringing a sponge
o
contributes
to immune system function and responsiveness
o
helps
the body rest and find sleep with greater ease
o
addresses
balance in the body and improves posture
o
indulges
your need for whole body integrated touch
- moves "energy" around the body
Education...
I moved to Florida in Summer of 2001 to attend Florida College of Natural Health and obtained licensure in February 2002. I enjoyed the 624-hour coursework for both its extensive anatomy and physiology lectures and thorough hands on clinic instruction. In addition to Swedish technique, I was introduced to Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Thai massage, Stone massage, Sports massage, Chair massage, Neuro-muscular massage, Shiatsu, Lomi-Lomi, reflexology and energy work. I also graduated in 1986 with a BA in Portuguese and Spanish from the University of Pennsylvania.
Credentials...
I'm an associate member of the American Massage
Therapy Association (AMTA). Through them I have practice insurance. I've also been certified by the National
Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCTMB). Their
examination is the dominant national standards benchmark for touch therapists
and is the requirement for licensure in many states, including Florida.
Other background info:
I have worked in various clinical settings both as caregiver and in administrative roles: as a home health aid for a quadriplegic man, as well as a physical therapy aide in a hospital setting where I’ve worked with stroke, brain injured, spinal cord injured and elderly, deconditioned patients; and as an administrative assistant, I have provided a sympathetic/comforting ear and gone the extra mile for rehab and cancer patients. I also have worked with mentally challenged young adults as an instructor in bakery and garden apprenticeship programs. I am a visual artist and astrologer.
During your
session:
o
Breathe. This is
your time to relax, be present with your body.
Let the meridians or energy channels open in your extremities. Your
belly may gurgle and your joints may shift as you let the days cares drift
away. Let your jaw drop. Listen to your heart and pulse. Sink into the table. Breathe.
o
Feel free to communicate your needs: room temperature, music or sound changes, muscle areas to work on... Talk to me when you want. And take a snooze if that comes up too.
o
I always respect individual levels of modesty and comfort.
Let me know if you need more draping or a restroom break. The bodywork I provide is anything from
therapeutic to relaxing and always in a safe, non-sexual, professional manner.
o
Afterwards, it is a good idea to drink water. We've been squeezing toxins out of your
tired muscles, so allow the new clean energy to come in and out with the old!
Benefits of
your massage session:
o
rejuvenates and energizes the body.
o
increases your own body awareness and tunes you into your
own health
o
frees up your movements and posture from old habits.
o
invites change for the body that clears the way for brighter
outlook on life.
o
improves blood pressure and lymph sluggishness- a tonic for
the circulation.
o
aids in gradual improvement of injured, scarred or problem
areas.
o
We can work on TMJ, spinal curvature, sciatica or other
chronic conditions.
o
It
feels so good!
