Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is not just a luxury—it helps maintain balance and proper functionality in our body systems. By relaxing the nervous system, it not only reduces stress & pain, it also helps encourage hormonal regulation. Receiving bodywork improves joint range of motion, muscle health & encourages proper breathing patterns. The lymphatic system undergoes a detox during massage, helping to support the body’s immune system and digestive wellbeing. As an added bonus, your skin is left nourished, protected and youthful.
It is my intention to approach our sessions together with compassionate listening. Whether you’re seeking relaxation from emotional stress -or- relief from chronic pain, misalignment/postural discomfort, overuse injuries, or sport maintenance— It is my goal to create a space tailored to your therapeutic endeavors.
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living
Translating to “science of life,” Ayurveda is a holistic system of wellness, supporting the wholeness of individuals. Through sophisticated understanding of the intricately interwoven mind-body connection, it emphasizes the importance of creating & maintaining vibrant health through lifestyle practices. Ayurveda respects & honors the natural world, which lives in each of us.
Our sessions together will be individualized guidance, allowing time & space to focus on how Ayurveda can best fit into your life. Together, we’ll incorporate yoga philosophy, breathing exercises, mindfulness tools, customized herbal & dietary recommendations, various seasonal routines, and rejuvenation practices to support your unique goals. These practices assist & support the body by eliminating impurities, reducing stress responses, increasing immunity & resistance to disease, while also helping to create harmony and vitality in the mind-body system.
With an emphasis on total wellness, Ayurveda’s wisdom works to harmonize our internal and external worlds. Approaching health through a bio-psycho-social-spritual holistic compass, Ayurveda understands that the physical body cannot be separated from the mind & heart. Through practical applications, we’ll work together to foster wellness, wholeness & to reclaim your sense of self. I’ll meet you where you are. We’ll walk together on your path.
