INDIVIDUALIZED & TRANSFORMATIONAL BODYWORK
& CBD TREATMENT
I first trained as a massage therapist in 1997/98 at National Holistic Institute and San Francisco School of Massage. These trainings included a variety of modalities including:
Shiatsu, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Trigger Point, Prenatal.
After many years and clients I now pride myself on trusting not only my intuition but the sensitivity in my hands to find ‘trouble spots’ and work with what the individual client needs. Influenced greatly by Ayurveda, I always work with unrefined, organic and medicated hot oils. I may also use cups (a tradition in Chinese medicine) to dislodge both energetic and physical stagnancies, a kanse bowl to draw out toxins and/or stimulate marma points to energize the lymphatic, blood and nervous systems. I choose the tools suited to serve the individual need.
I have also trained in‘transformational bodywork’ also known as ‘somatic agency’. This is a process of deconditioning the body and mind from reactive patterning to stresses and trauma experienced in life. By bringing awareness to the body and unhooking the mind we can relearn how to “be” ourselves again. This work often requires multiple 2 hour sessions in order to establish a relationship of trust between us.
In order to achieve the best results I prefer to work in 90 minute sessions and always request first time clients to come for 2 hours in order to evaluate the client's individual needs, though am happy to accommodate 90 mins for follow up and specific injury.
I now offer CBD oil treatments. I use an earth friendly, full spectrum, top of the line CBD oil. CBD oil is proven to be a potent pain and inflammation relief. It is also an anti-spasmodic, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. The nervous system calms and anxiety is hugely diminished with this treatment.
I prefer to consult briefly with the individual to assess the appropriate use of CBD.
