Massage Therapy

NYS License #031022
I offer integrative massage therapy, specializing in chronic and acute pain management, often known as medical massage.  I incorporate myofascial work and Neuromuscular Therapy (Trigger Point), along with other modalities.  My work is quite slow, as if there is a conversation with the tissues rather than a lecture.  Each session is individually tailored to suit the client's needs- there is never a routine and each visit looks a bit different, as I take time to listen to what the client's body is telling me.  I use my knowledge of anatomy, palpation skills, reading client's body cues, and my intuition as I work.  I believe each of our bodies has an innate wisdom to heal, and my goal is to provide the time and space to facilitate this process.  Through both my massage work and yoga instruction, I hope to bring my clients more in tune with themselves.  It is far too easy to become disembodied and distressed in our current world, and reconnecting with the physical body is a very powerful step in the healing process.

*pain relief/management
