The modalities I draw from:

Orthopedic Deep Tissue

My clinical deep tissue training in orthopedic assessment, trigger point & myofascial techniques, and treatment plans offers a targeted approach to working with structural imbalances in the musculo-skeletal-facial structures. Whether working with a chronic postural deviation, soft tissue injury, occupational strain, chronic joint pain, or post-injury rehabilitation, I offer a client-specific approach to offer pain relief and integration. I assess your body as a whole and work with you to weave a plan that addresses root structural imbalances.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork offered on a mat on the floor, fully clothed, and generally without lotion/oil. I draw from Zen Shiatsu, where sessions are gentle, slow and can range from deeply relaxing to invigorating. Techniques used range from finger pressure, palm compressed, stretching, vibration, and joint mobilizations. My work also integrates with other techniques that emerge from Thai massage as well.

Myofascial Cupping

Myofascial decompression or cupping is a bodywork approach that uses suction cups to decompress the myofascial area beneath the cup. The process lifts the skin and underlying fascia into the cup and can directly support underlying muscle to release. Cupping helps bring blood flow into the area, which can support with tissue healing, in addition to supporting the break-up of scar tissue. I utilize the multiple cups with movement along the fascial planes, in order to ‘stretch’ the fascia, and facilitate deeper releases.
