What I do
-
Swede-ish
Want to take a nap AND get deep work?
This is my take on a classic Swedish massage. An intuitive blend of techniques focuses on finding flow and melting tension. Effective work that is also deeply relaxing.
This modality takes place on a traditional massage table.
Clothing:
People typically fully undress or just wear underwear. That said, always undress to your own level of comfort! You’ll be covered with the drape during the massage.
Timing:
60 min - general full body flow
75 min - full body + extra time for foot, scalp, or hand massage!
90 min - full body + 1 area of deeper work
Suggested Add-Ons:
Lotuswei Flower Essences
Hot Towels

Therapeutic Massage
Have a specific issue you want to address?
Therapeutic massage kicks the intensity up a notch with deep tissue, myofascial, and muscle energy techniques (i.e. I pin, you stretch). While I always incorporate elements of relaxation into my work (because a relaxed nervous system is a receptive nervous system), this session is more on the active, sports massage side. Still want a full body session? I’ll incorporate Swedish techniques to smooth out the deep work and leave your body feeling balanced.

Sarga
Deep pressure never deep enough? Read on:
Sarga is a barefoot myofascial technique. Using a fabric loop (Sarga) for balance, I use my feet to deliver deep pressure and myofascial release. This sounds intense, but it can actually be very relaxing!
Studies show that fascia responds best to broad, slow contact. That means you might be more comfortable receiving deep pressure from a large foot instead of a small elbow! Sarga has become a favorite with my clients who want more depth AND with clients who usually feel ticklish or sensitive to deep tissue techniques.
Sarga takes place on a traditional massage table.

Traditional Thai Massage
Is mobility your main goal? Thai Massage is the original stretch therapy!
Thai massage uses hands, forearms, knees, and feet to deliver deep compressions. Stretching and joint mobilization leave the body feeling relaxed and mobile. Often referred to as Lazy Yoga, Thai is a great option for anyone looking to maintain or improve their range of motion. Thai is NOT the best option if your pain is acute and movement is aggravating rather than relieving.
Thai massage is known for stretching, but you don’t have to be flexible to enjoy Thai! I will work with your current range of motion and never force a stretch.
This modality takes place on a floor mat.
Clothing:
Comfortable athletic wear is recommended. Long sleeves and socks are a good option if you tend to run cold.
Timing:
90 min - full body
120 min - full body + 1 focus area
150 min - full body + 2 focus areas
180 min (by request only) - deep work everywhere!

MyoThai
Blending the two styles I love most (Sarga + Thai), MyoThai is my own take on a myofascial Thai massage!
When I first started working with this fusion, a client called it massage for Lazy Athletes and honestly, that’s the perfect description! The combination of mobility and myofascial work makes this great for athletes or anyone who likes bodywork with more intensity. A slower pace allows me to work deeply while still honoring the nervous system’s need for rest.
MyoThai is NOT the best option if your pain is acute and movement is aggravating rather than relieving.
This modality takes place on a floor based massage table.
Clothing:
Wear minimal clothing such as athletic shorts and a sports bra. I have clothing options available in case you forget! A blanket will be available to keep you covered and warm.
Timing:
90 min - full body
120 min - full body + 1 focus area
150 min - full body + 1 or 2 focus areas
180 min (by request only) - deep work everywhere!
