"Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain"
--Carl Jung
My journey as a healer began with the birth of my second child. His special needs led me to Dr. Effie Chow, who looked me in the eye and said "You take my course, and you heal him yourself." And so began my studies of the Chow Intergrated Healing System, which included the art of Tui Na Massage. Giving my first massage I could feel it in every cell of my body--this is what I am supposed to do. I was hooked.
I adore learning, and have studied many modalities, incorporating them into my practice and broadening my ability to heal. I am fascinated with anatomy, and the science behind the transformation that massage brings to a body. But I have also studied energy work, and am conscious and intuitive in my approach to bodywork. Every person is different, so every massage is different, from the light but precise to the very deep, I will listen to your needs and preferences.
In addition to being an LMT, I am a Certified Prenatal Massage Therapist, and have studied specifically:
Deep Tissue for Relaxation: A firm, but gentle approach that affects real change in the musculature while still allowing the client to deeply relax, creating a positive, transformative experience.
Level 1 Chow Integrated Healing System: An approach to healing that includes massage, diet, Qigong, meditation and acupressure to bring a body to its optimal state of wellness.
Chinese Five Element Theory
Certified Level 1 Reiki
Myofascial release techniques to re-align the core
Working with Trauma: a very gentle, slow, hands on approach to helping clients with post-traumatic stress
Tai Chi
Dynamic Intuition
And I have specialized training and extensive experience in chair massage, bringing real transformation in shorter, clothed sessions. Encourage your boss to bring me to your place of business!
