A flow of multiple styles such as Deep Tissue, Thai, Reflexology, Swedish, Sports Massage, Aromatherapy, Myofascial Release and Acro Yoga.  Through an opening ritual with breathwork and a short guided meditation, I tune into what your body needs both energetically and physically. In this elevated state, the mind is clear and ready to receive deeper therapy. The journey then takes you along the various traditional methods. There is an unscripted creativity in Flow Massage allowing the body to open in new ways each session. Years of practice and study is behind this unique technique which has become my deepest creative passion.

Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on your particular needs as a mother-to-be going through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation, and relieves mental and physical fatigue. Pregnancy massage employs primarily Swedish style massage strokes focusing on areas such as your lower back, hips, legs, feet and hands. Special care is taken in bolstering your body to allow for optimal comfort and safety. Aromatherapy is optional to help encourage relaxation. The benefits of prenatal massage include a wide range of physiological, emotional and psychological benefits including but not limited to reduced body aches and swelling, relieve stress, regulate hormones, and ease muscle tension. Consult with your midwife or obstetrician before beginning any new therapeutic practice.

CBD is a non psychoactive cannabinoid compound found in the cannabis plant. CBD ail can be applied to almost any technique, it is simply the application of CBD oil that makes it unique. CBD is an appealing option for those who are looking for relief from pain and other symptoms without the mind-altering effects of marijuana or certain pharmaceutical drugs.  CBD oils acts as a muscle relaxer, reducing inflammation, which causes pain and soreness. Other benefits of CBD massage include reduced anxiety and depression, relief from cancer related symptoms and even reduce acne. CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil. It works by responding to receptors found in the skin and sends messages through your nervous system that help bring the body back to equilibrium, mitigating imbalances.

Acro yoga is a beautiful practice that combines the dynamic movements of acrobatics, the awareness, breath and balance of yoga and the healing, restorative nature of Thai massage. This deeply therapeutic style of acro yoga focuses on inverting and lengthening the body and spine with little to no effort by you.

Putting the body into inverted (upside down) positions has incredible health benefits including improving brain function by helping blood flow to the brain which nourishes brain cells with more oxygen resulting in improved concentration, memory and awareness. Inversons have also been known to be a natural antidepressant by flushing the adrenal glands stimulating the release of neurotransmitters and endorphins that allow you to immediately feel uplifted. Other benefits include helping strengthen your immunity by helping drain the lymphatic system clearing toxins from the tissues. Inversions can assist the digestive system, promote healthier skin and has even been proven to promote sounder sleep and relieve insomnia. This list of benefits go far beyond just the physical-- inversions can help realign energetic, emotional and mental bodies, as well as promoting spiritual development. Ayurvedic and Hatha yoga practices have been teaching inversions for thousands of years to promote activation and realignment from the Sahasrara (Crown Chakra) down through the Muladhara (Root Chakra). Acro Yoga Massage is a way for you to fully relax into assisted inversions and receive all its benefits without straining your body.
