Deep Tissue Massage

My technique relieves your chronic, postural, or sudden-movement pain. I purposefully apply firm pressure with increased intensity to deeper layers of tissue. I can focus on specific areas or your whole body.

I determine and maintain your comfort level by asking questions and attentively listening to your feedback throughout the session.

Afterwards, it’s common to feel some soreness. This happens most often the day following your massage. I highly recommend you take it easy, especially avoiding vigorous activities.

Swedish Massage

I carefully apply pressure according to your liking. The motions consist of long-flowing strokes aimed at relieving tension.

You’ll leave the table refreshed. This is the best time to unwind at home where you can peacefully relax while listening to your favorite music or enjoying that comforting book. A nap may also be precisely what you need to complement your relaxing message.

Sports Massage

This technique combines the same type of pressure I use during my deep tissue massage with measured manipulations and stretching. This one releases tension in the specific body areas often associated with recent and particular physical activity. The goals are to speed muscle recovery, quickly relieve pain, and prevent injuries.
