Why is supportive footwear so important?  A note about orthotic inserts

If your arches fall or you develop "flat feet" because of lack of arch support in your shoes, your ankles rotate inward, which puts pressure on your knees, which causes your hips to compensate, and on up the spine.  The insoles that come with most shoes have little to no arch support.  Flip flops and crocs are the worst.  To keep reading, go here.

What Sets My Massage Apart?

I offer an exceptional massage therapy experience focused on your individual needs - whether that be relaxation, rehabilitation, sports training, pre- and post-natal, or regular feel-good maintenance.  I will help you slow your breath and mind while applying just the right amount of pressure for your body to work out the knots.  I don't think you have to choose between a relaxing or a therapeutic massage.  My sessions include both, leaving you feeling awesome, relaxed in both body and mind. 

        We ask a lot of our bodies, and often don’t give it the support it needs in return.  When muscles are over-worked, over-stretched, over-exercised, or have fallen into poor postural habits, massage can step in to break the cycle and put you on the path to healing.

       The causes of muscle tension are most often ongoing.  One massage session can release a lot of tension; but as long as we continue to have imperfect posture, stress, or overworked muscles, it’s likely to build up again over time.

       I wish to support my clients in receiving the most benefit as possible, so I’m happy to work with you to find ways to take care of yourself between sessions and help you continue feeling the benefits of massage long after you leave my office.  By beginning to notice your holding patterns and become aware of your body and what it needs, you empower yourself to learn to make small changes every day to be gentle with your body and feel better - more relaxed, looser, stronger, and healthier.
