Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. The use of gentle pressure allows the tissues to unwind in a way can allow for more lasting change than some more aggressive approaches because we are working in concert with the nervous system. 

Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams – about the weight of a nickel – practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system.

Swedish Massage is a relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, and greater flexibility.

This therapeutic method involves the identification of and release of “trigger points”, a common cause of pain in the body. Trigger points often show up as painful “knots” in our muscles and can cause referred pain and/or stiffness.  

Translating as “life-energy cultivation”, Qigong dates back over 4,000 years to ancient China. Traditional Chinese Medicine reveres Qigong for its efficacy in preventive and curative functions. Qigong traditionally combines and coordinates movement, breath, and intention. I personally find this practice both profoundly grounding and energizing, like a coming home to my true essence of being. I love incorporating elements of Qigong into sessions, as well as more extensive teaching.

Through my studies as a Qigong instructor, I have become acquainted with the meridian systems of the body and key acupressure points as described by Traditional Chinese Medicine. Each meridian is associated with a respective organ system with corresponding physiological and energetic functions. This tradition honors the interconnected nature of our multi-layered being and is a powerful ally in healing.
