My Training Background
Here are a few examples of some bodywork methods I have studied. Their influence continues to inform my work.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage is lovely in itself and can be an excellent context for the integration of other therapeutic modalities. Based on Swedish massage, this is a whole body therapy which works to relax and soothe the body, enhance circulation, and promote a state of calm and balance in which your own healing abilities are activated.
Myofascial / Connective Tissue Therapy
Connective tissue therapy is focused on freeing restrictions in the fascia. Fascia is the tissue that surrounds most structures in the body, including the muscles, ligaments, bones, blood vessels, nerves, and internal organs. It forms the living, moving web of life in our bodies. This work encourages movement, fluidity, and healthy alignment for optimal function and balance.
Assisted Stretching
Combining massage with stretch therapies can have a synergistic affect, retraining the muscle memory to allow for more balanced and greater range of motion. It also benefits the body's self awareness, helping with alignment, stability, and release of holding patterns. My training is in FST(TM) / Fascial Stretch Therapy(TM),, and MRT(TM) / Muscle Release Technique(TM) Injury and Rehabilitation Therapy.
Neural Manipulation / Craniosacral Therapy
Neural Manipulation is a gentle therapy that works with the fascia of the nerves and central nervous system to create a more balanced, toned, and unrestricted state. Smoothing and freeing the nervous system can have profound effects on the health and functioning of the body as a whole. Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle treatment that works with the natural self-correcting mechanisms of the body and the craniosacral system - the membrane and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord - with far reaching effects for overall health and balance.
Abdominal Massage
I have trained with the Barral Institute and International Alliance of Healthcare providers to work with gentle specificity to support the organs and their fascial environment. I then followed up with some study of Chi Nei Tsang, a more general approach with an Oriental medical perspective. Abdominal massage is another gentle method that can have a profound affect on overall well being.
