Structurally Informed Integrative Massage Therapy Sessions
As a massage therapist, I am detail oriented, looking for the root of your pain. I will offer personalized stretches for you to practice at home in order to change the pain-causing pattern and help you feel better in between sessions and continue the process of healing.
I offer a truly integrative massage - blending techniques such as: lymphatic drainage therapy, intra-oral masseter release for TMJ, swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy (trigger point), craniosacral, myofascial release, and thai yoga massage.
Essentially, a massage is a negotiation between my hands and your nervous system. It is my goal to help you find a state of relaxation where chronically contracted muscles can finally let go.
Your massage is all about you so I make sure to find out what your body needs before planning out the session. It is my hope that you leave the session feeling significantly more relaxed, rejuvenated, and with less pain.

Additional Services
Reiki
Reiki is an energy healing modality which is an amazing addition to a massage for deeper relaxation and integration. It can be included as part of your massage time at no extra cost, or as on it's own at the same rates as massage.

Body Buffing
At no additional cost, I am happy to use a mechanical buffer as part of the massage warm up - this tool allows me to loosen muscles and prepare them for deeper work in significantly less time, and can be very relaxing!
Dry Exfoliation
|
At no additional cost, I am happy to use dry exfoliation gloves to remove dead skin and improve circulation. This must be done at the beginning of the massage before oil is used.

Hot stones
$10 add on
In the winter months, I offer hot stones as a compliment to massage therapy sessions, to loosen and warm tense muscles and bring the body into further relaxation.
Cupping
$10 add on
|
Cupping is the application of negative pressure, or suction, to the body. Suction cups rapidly facilitate rigid soft tissue release, loosens & lifts connective tissue, breaks up and drains stagnation while increasing blood & lymph flow to skin & muscles in ways not possible using compression.
I offer cupping as a compliment to your integrative massage. The cups do work on one body part while I work another, so you get double duty! |
I currently use soft silicone cups, which do not tend to leave as dark or long lasting marks as hard plastic or glass cups. Most of these marks were gone by the end of the session.
Location
My office is conveniently located on the outskirts of downtown Asheville with private, off-street parking.
