Type of Massage
The type of massage I do here is all about relaxation and reduction of stress
in order to let the client's body heal itself. I have taken techniques from several different massage disciplines and incorporated them into a soothing and free flowing massage that lets my client forget about the work day world for a moment and leaves them feeling rejuvenated.
To accentuate the spa-like experience all treatments in my studio begin with a relaxing herbal foot soak.
Although my work is very sensual, it is not sexual in any fashion. Please do not
schedule an appointment if you are looking for something other than a professional massage.
The primary disciplines I generally incorporate are Swedish massage and gymnastics
including deep tissue techniques, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, Ayurvedic massage, broad plane myofascial
techniques, and sports massage. Since each client is unique I use a different fusion of these techniques for each massage.
Your Comfort
Room Ambiance
The massage table is heated and I have plenty of blankets, so adjusting the
table temperature to your preference is not a problem. I generally burn a
few beeswax candles, keep the lighting dim, and play soft music.
The room has air conditioning, so even if its hot outside your session
should be comfortable.
Music
To make your massage experience more enjoyable I have selected music which I enjoy. If you have your own music that you find relaxing and would like during your massage, please feel free to bring it. If you bring your own music on a CD, MP3 disc, or IPOD please make sure that the disc or playlist will run for more than one hour. If you intend on bringing an IPOD, please let me know in advance which version you use so I can pre-install the correct cradle adaptor. Also, if you don’t want to carry an IPOD or disc with you, feel free to email me MP3 files at least
two days in advance of your appointment and I would be happy to use this
playlist just for you.
Draping and privacy
In addition to keeping you warm, I generally drape my clients with a sheet and blanket to preserve modesty and only expose the portion of the body that is being worked on at that time. While doing abdominal work on female clients I use a breast drape unless specifically asked not to prior to the massage. As noted in the guidelines, the optimal way to receive a massage is fully unclothed. I will leave the room to allow you to undress and cover yourself with the sheet and blanket before returning to the room to start your massage.
