Book with me!
I currently practice out of two locations: Woven Bodies in Midtown Kingston and Sunset Healing Collective in New Paltz. I offer 60 and 90 minute sessions. Feel free to explore the different treatment styles and modalities I have to offer, below.
choose your treatment style…
Prenatal - Massage during pregnancy has been proven to help with discomfort during labor, and reducing anxiety and stress. This treatment incorporates gentle, soothing touch as well as passive stretches to prepare your body for evolution and expansion. Majority of the prenatal massage will be in a side-lying position, with bolsters and pillows for plenty of support. Available for prenatal and postpartum clients.
Table Shiatsu - Traditional Shiatsu massage brought onto the massage table - this style features use of acupressure points, light stretches for balancing internal organs and kneading techniques done over the clothes. Clients should wear loose and comfortable clothing.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage - A type of gentle bodywork that encourages the natural draining of the lymph, to reduce swelling and inflammation in the body. MLD is used to treat chronic pain conditions, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, post-traumatic injury, pre/post-surgery, migraines, headaches, edema and/or swelling. MLD is light work but effective for moving lymph fluid and relieving pain.
Swedish Relaxation - Full body massage for those looking to release muscular tension, promote circulation, reduce joint inflammation and smooth out body and mind.
Deep Tissue - Rejuvenation for achy, sore and exhausted bodies. Application of firm pressure to break up stagnation in the joint spaces (where energy tends to get stuck) along with some mobility work to get blood flowing throughout the muscles.
Integrated - A combination of western and eastern modalities for a holistic approach to bodywork. Each massage will be crafted in accordance to your current state of mind and body, and how we can bring balance to internal organs and systems. This type of treatment might include gua sha, cupping therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and/or use of essential oils.
Abdominal Massage - An integrated massage that will include heat therapy, acupressure points, Reiki and warming essential oils to support your reproductive health and hormonal wellness.
Breast/Chest Massage - Localized treatment to support lactation or recovery from surgery. May be therapeutically indicated and combined with a typical full body massage to reduce swelling, muscular tension and areas of congestion/stagnation.
Reiki ~ energy healing
Energy healing can be subtle, yet powerful work.
In addition to bodywork, I also provide Reiki healing sessions that incorporate light touch, or a hands-off approach for those looking for a no-touch treatment. This modality is universal, though the lineage that I have trained under is the Usui Reiki tradition, which comes from Japan, originated by Dr. Mikao Usui.
Reiki works on a physical and meta-physical plane, allowing the life force energy to flow from the Universe through you, clearing pathways for stuck or stagnant qi to flow freely. This type of energy work allows for the body to self-heal in the way it was designed.
