Massage & Bodywork

Your body is taking one for the team. Your life is busy and stressful. You work long hours. Maybe this drives you to work out and play hard. Or maybe this is your excuse for ignoring your body.

Either way, your body could use some care.

My work is based in the Chinese medical art of Tui-Na - a precise structural massage that incorporates subtle energy work to heal pain, improve range of motion, and deeply connect you to your body.

As both a bodyworker and acupuncturist, I view you from both a physical and energetic point of view. A pain-free body requires free range of motion and the free flow of qi ("chee").

Unblock the qi and pain releases, reduces, and eventually disappears. Pain can be physical, emotional, and spiritual. And it can all be eased with caring, focused bodywork..

Types of Massage & Bodywork

Tui Na - (Chinese Medical Massage)

Tui Na is the art of Chinese medical massage. It is not your typical oil massage. It is generally done with clothes on and is invigorating. Combined with subtle energy work, it is also quite relaxing.

Tui Na (Push-Pull) opens the meridian system of the body to release stagnation and move qi. The result is pain relief and greater range-of-motion. Tui Na helps to remove scar tissue from recent and old injuries, relieves chronic pain, and energizes the entire system.

Tui Na is a clinically effective form of bodywork that will open you up as never before.

Somatic Release Therapy

We are energetic beings. Our minds and our bodies are one system. Oftentimes what causes stagnation and blockage in the body is not an external injury or acquired illness, but an internal emotional state that is "stored" in an area of the body.

With Somatic Release Therapy, we investigate the mind-body relationship. When you discover what emotions you are are holding in a particular area of your body, you gain the ability to release it. This work will help you begin a process of retraining your mind and body to release areas of blockage for good.

This is a powerful and subtle therapeutic technique that is not appropriate for everyone. It asks for you to take a look deep inside and discover what has been holding you back from being as healthy and alive as you want to be.

Polarity Therapy Energy Work

Polarity Therapy is an exquisite form of energy medicine that utilizes light bodywork and hands-on healing techniques to free up blockages and expand awareness.

It is at once powerful and gentle, transformative and rejuvenating.

Polarity has its roots in Indian Ayurvedic and Yogic concepts of life-force, or "prana," and how this energy moves in the body. It is highly effective for releasing tension and pain, relieving anxiety, and treating deep emotional blockages and/or spiritual unrest that can be at the core of many health problems.
