MODALITIES

My specialty is Ashiatsu, a table based massage modality in which I use my feet to deliver soothing yet deep pressure. Though Ashiatsu is a deep tissue modality, the depth of pressure is completely adjustable. In a typical Ashiatsu session I combine elements of Swedish, Deep Tissue and Thai massage which means you will also receive gentle yet firm touch through my hands and forearms along with various stretches for your hips and shoulders (stretching is always optional).

If you would rather not receive pressure from my feet I am happy to provide a relaxing Swedish massage but if it is consistent deep pressure you are after, please expect to receive a bevy of excellent Ashiatsu techniques.

Here is a closer look at the massage modalities which I can mix and match for your specific needs.

Ashiatsu

Ashiatsu is a form of massage in which I use my feet to deliver the pressure. I recommend this modality if you like very deep pressure (though the pressure can always be adjusted). You can leave your clothes on and receive a series of deep compressions or disrobe and receive a lubricated massage including compressive and gliding strokes. With your permission, I can also provide joint mobilization and stretching.

Swedish

Swedish massage is a moderately deep, oiled massage which utilizes long, rhythmic, gliding strokes to lull the you into a deep state of relaxation. This modality emphasizes a holistic approach to the body in which transitions in tempo, rhythm and pressure are as smooth as possible. Clients report that they sink into a hypnotic or trance like state as a result of this treatment.

deep tissue

“Tried and true” deep tissue techniques such as “pin and stretch” and post isometric relaxation may be added to your session to help treat chronic tension, injury or pain. These techniques can be delivered with both my hands and my feet.

FACILITATED STRETCHING

I am able to include stretching in most every massage (as long as you provide your consent and there are no contraindications). Massaging lengthened muscle tissue is a great way to provide lasting relief from tension and tightness. I can also provide joint mobilization, jostling and vibration. These are all excellent techniques for the enhancement of relaxation.
