Traditional Thai Massage 1-4 Hours

In a traditional Thai massage session you can expect to be thoroughly massaged and stretched from head to toe. I work deep using my hands, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet. I also offer a lighter touch if you prefer. After a massage from me you can expect to your body to be in better alignment, joints to have improved mobility and feel energized. Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor while fully clothed. There is a biomat which gives therapeutic infrared heat during your massage. The techniques employed in Thai massage ensure that the fascia is well warmed before receiving attention to the muscles. I focus on specific points and meridians to meet your therapeutic needs. I work on all ages, bodies and abilities.

Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage 1 Hour

In a Chi Nei Tsang session you can expect your belly to receive gentle yet deep massage. Abdominal massage is ideal for emotional release, improved digestion, detox, IBS, SIBO, endometriosis, fibroids, cesarean pain, posture, anxiety, stress, chronic fatigue, painful intercourse, peri & post menopause.

Abdominal massage focuses on the organs and the fascia surrounding them. Specific points and meridians are activated to release tension and emotions. This work can be very transformative. I recommend doing several sessions close together and giving yourself a quiet day in your home or in nature after the session. Chi Nei Tsang is performed on a mat on the floor while fully clothed. There is a biomat which gives therapeutic infrared heat during your massage.

Cupping

During a cupping session a suction cup is used to pull an area of skin into suction. Cupping is incredible for releasing chronic tight muscles and connective tissue and promotes blood flow to the area which increases circulation. I can leave the cups in one place or drag them along the muscles for maximum benefit.
