As a Reiki and Certified Massage Practitioner, I use a blend
of Swedish and Deep Tissue massage with Reiki energy work and Cranio-sacral holds to facilitate
a state of deep relaxation and release of tension and discomfort.
In every bodywork session I aim to help you achieve a state
of optimal well-being by facilitating chronic and deep muscle release and charging your body's own healing
energy.
My practice is in Santa Cruz and Aptos, California.

I also offer Chair Massage at business locations throughout the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay area.
Swedish Massage
is a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease
muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation. I
use an oil or a water-based lotion to facilitate the use of long,
smooth
and relaxing strokes over the body.
In Swedish massage and deep tissue you are usually undressed and are covered by a
sheet, only exposing the area being massaged.
Deep Tissue is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
The movement for deep tissue massage is slower and with deep pressure is in concentrated areas of tension and pain.
Reiki
is Universal (rei) Life Force Energy (ki) and is channeled through the
practitioner to you using a gentle hands-on technique. Reiki engages
many
levels of being—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—it balances
your
body's energies and brings you into equilibrium, promoting your body's
natural
ability to heal.
Cranio-Sacral
is a subtle and effective method of evaluating and enhancing
the functioning of the cranio-sacral system; a physiological body
system
comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and
protect
the brain and spinal cord. Using a very gentle touch (the weight of a
nickel), restrictions in the cranio-sacral system are released to
improve the functioning of the
central nervous system.
