Massage Therapy Services
All sessions take place in my private office.
Massage Therapy
This is for someone who is looking for a general massage to relax and reduce stress. In this case there is a general goal of releasing stress and improving function, but no specific agenda or issue in mind (although something may present itself through the course of the massage.) This service can make use of a variety of techniques, but has a much more general approach than the other services.

Deep-Tissue Massage
This is one step deeper than just massage therapy. This service is much more oriented to locating areas of tension, restriction, and stress – and working to unlock them. Again, a variety of techniques may be used to accomplish this goal, but this service is for the person that knows they need focused attention and likes to uncover problem areas in order to bring relief.

Structural Bodywork
This service takes deep-tissue massage therapy further by placing it into the context of your overall structure. A visual and palpation assessment is used to gain a picture of the relationships between different areas of the body. This understanding allows me to address issues not only directly, but in a broader and more interconnected way. Our bodies are living structures, not mechanical in the normal sense of that word, and addressing the dynamic relationships between parts of the body is an effective way to create improvement.
Medical Massage
This service hones in on a problematic condition or area. For example: scoliosis, frozen shoulder, sciatica, or other chronic pain. Other conditions might be recovery from an injury or post-surgery – to help restore complete range of motion, flexibility and strength, and to reduce pain. With this medical massage therapy service, the entire session may be spent in a localized area, working specifically with an issue and the various tissues affected by it.
Sports Massage
This is for the athlete wishing to take advantage of enhanced recovery and improved function provided by massage. If you see me at a local race you might see me offering pre-race massage to prep specific tissues for the event and to help reduce the impact and accumulation of stress. Also, massage after an event can speed recovery and initiate much needed relaxation.
Pregnancy Massage
Receiving massage during pregnancy can greatly ease the impact of the dramatic changes happening to a woman’s body. A session of pregnancy massage will focus on addressing tensions arising from the overall softening and expanding taking place as well as soothing and stretching tight and sore areas.
Workplace Massage
This service can range from a corporate wellness fair to an elementary school teacher appreciation day or anything in between. I bring my supplies to your location and can provide shorter workplace appropriate sessions, while the recipients remain clothed. To discuss rates and availability, please call, email, or use the contact form.
In-Home Massage
I also offer massage in the comfort of your own home, if needed or wanted due to a disability or just because you would rather stay home to get your massage. Please contact me for scheduling either via email or phone as this option requires some additional time for me to travel.
