MASSAGE

THERAPY 

 

I am a Colorado-based certified & licensed massage therapist. I graduated in 2008 from the Healing Arts Institute in Fort Collins, CO!

Every massage session with me is an intuitive blend of bodywork, energy work, and somatic experience. I revere your body’s inherent self-healing intelligence and recognize that I am merely a collaborator in that natural process. My style is focused on relaxing the nervous system so that more profound healing can occur physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

Through a comprehensive exploration of the different nuances of your intricate condition, I will remain present with you, listening to your body through my hands. I will support and promote your innate healing abilities through bodywork and nervous system harmonization. Most importantly, I can help you learn to find balance and make space for you to heal. 

What Is Somatic Massage Therapy?

First, Somatic Experiencing® is an alternative therapy that focuses on the mind-body connection. 

The goal of all types of somatic therapy is to help people understand and manage their emotions by becoming aware of the physical sensations in their bodies. 

The theory behind Somatic Experiencing® is that our emotions are stored in our bodies and that we can release them by becoming aware of these sensations. 

 

Through this process, you will learn to identify and release negative emotions while gaining a greater understanding of your own body. Ultimately, this can lead to a more peaceful and balanced state of mind.

A somatic massage therapy session focuses on the body's nervous system and aims to help the body heal by relieving pain and tension. 

Somatic massage therapy is often used to treat conditions such as headaches, back pain, and neck pain. It can also be used to improve circulation and relieve stress, PTSD, and other trauma symptoms.

During a session, I will use various techniques to manipulate the muscles and soft tissues of the body. 

These techniques may include effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, and friction. I may also use additional methods to help you relax to really drop into your body and the experience.

A little about Lomi Lomi Massage

Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage that uses a combination of massage techniques, nut oils, and sometimes elements of prayer, breathing, and dance to restore energy and soothe the body.

It is also known as the ‘loving hands’ massage. This name helps to explain its principles - the massage works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, allowing the recipient to relax and give in to the nurturing touch.

Lomi works from the belief that memories are stored in the brain and mind and in every cell of the human body. The long, continuous strokes of the massage are designed to help the body let go of its old patterns and behaviors, which can cause as many stresses and strains as muscle tension.

I offer essential oils, hot stones, and reiki during my massages for no additional cost.
