At some point in our lives, most of us have faced some type of medical challenges.

Who hasn’t at one point or another faced an illness or an injury of some sort?

In my practice, I have had clients walk in with a variety of ailments, diseases and physical pain.  

I am not a doctor who diagnoses or prescribes, but with the art and science of touch, I have seen some wonderful results for my clients with massage and bodywork that have addressed their issues so that they can relax and breath easier.  It’s clear to see that people facing medical challenges are looking for healing and pain relief and my job is to listen and use the many years of experience I have behind me as a licensed massage therapist to help them feel better in their body. My intention is support re-education of the body to help it remember its own healing abilities to self-correct.  This can have wondrous benefits! When pain dissolves and the body is functioning with more ease and vitality, in most cases… mental and emotional health also reappears again.  It’s difficult to live in joy when one is focused on physical pain.  When the body feels better, it’s amazing how different life feels.

Some of the best areas of health that massage therapists can treat are neurological, muscular and respiratory.  Especially with  Craniosacral Therapy, clients see great improvement with neck and back pain, migraines, headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, frozen shoulder, and pain associated with arthritis.   What’s so great about Craniosacral Therapy (CST)  is that it is so gentle that even clients who are facing cancer and treatments can enjoy this relaxing touch, as long as their doctors approve. On a deep level of contact, being held and connected with others is very healing in itself.  CST as it worked wight the fluid around the brain and spine can promote profound change and balance. With massage and bodywork, you also get restored motion by release of restrictions that have been stopping the flow of your optimal functioning.

Massage may feel like a luxury, but really it is much more than that.

A note about insurance:

In most states, massage therapy is not covered by medical insurance like a doctor’s visit. However, some insurances that are more flexible, may offer certain allowances. Make sure you call your insurance company to see what type of benefits they provide. Massage Therapists can give you a receipt and any information that is required regarding your sessions.
