Unique Integrative Approach
Do you work 40+ hours a week? Are you leaning over a computer or sitting on an airplane for hours at a time? I can relieve the tension your body is feeling from being in these static positions. A lot of my clients are travellers and/or they sit at a desk.
My philosophy is to move you beyond "spa massage." With this technique I can accomodate many of your therapeutic massage needs. When you choose FMC,you will have sessions with a soft tissue specialist.
I have experience that involves the treatment of various soft tissue dysfunctions including Plantar Fasciitis, I.T. Band Contracture, Rotator Cuff problems and many more. After assessing your specific muscle and joint health; in any given session, I will use a combination of Clinical, Tui Na Acupressure, Massage Cupping, Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage and Table Top Thai.
Relaxation/Stress Management
You spend a lot of time in a physiological stress state referred to as "fight or flight." Your body sends out stress hormones that would normally be used if you were under threat. A prolonged release of these hormones causes the body to tip out of balance toward disease. Relaxation and stress management massage uses gentle rhythmic touch, you will gain access to the deepest levels of relaxation which sometimes even sleep cannot provide. Aromatherapy can be added to enhance your relaxation experience.
Workout/Training Recovery
The muscle groups used in a workout or specific sport are targeted during the massage session. Pre-event consists of thirty minutes of general and invigorating massage. Post workout/event relieves any muscle spasms and includes stretching and relaxation of the muscles. It is similar to a stress management session.
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Pregnancy is a sign of a healthy woman and I would like to be apart of the team that keeps you healthy and happy.Massage during pregnancy can provide emotional relief, support and labor preparation. During those nine plus months your body is going to go through many structural and hormonal changes that may cause low back pain, anxiety, mood swings, depression and stress.
Work with me through your three trimesters and beyond to keep your worst symptoms to a minimum. I have experience with high risk pregnancy and, with your physicians consent, will make sure that you receive the best massage care.
Stone Thermotherapy
Experience that one stroke with a hot stone is worth more than many with the hand. The techniques used in traditional Swedish massage are to warm up the tissues so that the massage therapist can work on tender points and release restrictions. With hot stones the need for kneading your muscles is cut in half, hot stone get's right to the point! For a more therapeutic session I can add cool (marble) stones that will enhance the purification of which ever area of the body is in distress.
