Myofascial release (MFR) is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increased range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles, and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. MFR applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation, providing relief from pain and restored movement.
A customized, Therapeutic Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. This is also known as Deep Tissue Massage and is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, muscle damage, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable and to minimize connective tissue soreness. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Developed by Aaron Mattes, Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic system for improving your flexibility and overall well-being. As you probably already know, stretching your muscles not only reduces your chance of injury, but also strengthens your tendons and improves your circulation. For self-care, the client can have a personalized active stretching program created for specific areas of concern.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) techniques work by stimulation of the nervous system allowing a quick reset of movement patterns and relief from pain. The focus is on applying gentle force to stimulating the neurophysiological mechanisms avoiding trauma to the tissue in a way not possible with hands on techniques. Good for acute and chronic conditions.

Gentle massage along with cold marble stones are lightly massaged on the face, neck, and shoulders (along with aromatherapy), while thermal therapy is used for the feet. The focus is to draw the blood flow away from the head to the feet, thus relieving cranial pressure and muscular tension. Firm pressure and specific techniques to improve feet circulation will make you feel invigorated yet relaxed.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home (spa party), workplace, or special events (fundraiser). You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule. Typically individual sessions are 10-15 minutes depending on the host. Please note: there is a 120 minute minimum for chair massage visits. Great for corporate events or spa parties (within a 10 miles radius from my office).
