Specialized Modalites Offered

Massage Therapy Services

Trigger Point Therapy (Neuromuscular):  Precise targeting and release of trigger points (painful irritated areas in the muscle) to break cycles of spasm and pain.  Due to the nature of the methods used, focus is on addressing chief complaints only, and seldom is the full body worked in a single session.

Myofascial Release:  Gentle, slow targeted tensions of the client's fascia, encouraging gentle release of bound tissues.  Considered one of the most gentle, yet powerfully effective modalities.  Full body or complaint specific.

Swedish Massage:  Full body massage utilizing long strokes, kneading, friction, joint mobilization and percussive strokes on the more superficial layers of the muscles.  Stimulation of the body and relaxation are the main goals.  Trigger point release is not used with this modality.

Deep Tissue Massage:  Full body clinical massage utilizing strokes found in Swedish Massage, specifically targeting deeper layers of tissue and muscle.  Improvement of muscle tone and body stimulation are the main goals.  Some elements of Trigger Point Therapy are used with this modality.

Sports Massage:  Brisk and invigorating strokes and stretches designed to increase blood flow, warm tissues, and optimize muscle function before or after a physically demanded activity.

Reiki Therapy:  Healing energies are targeted by the therapist at strategic locations of the client's body.  Non-invasive, this is one of the most powerfully effective modalities in promoting effective client self-healing.  Full body or complaint specific.

Champi Massage:  Stimulating anti-aging rejuvenation massage that targets the client's head, neck and shoulders.  A component of Indian Ayurvedic Medicine, the emphasis is on cleansing the body of impurities and restoring dosha balance, through the use of strengthening and reducing strokes.    Essential oils are key components of this modality.

Fusion Massage:  Incorporation of the very best elements from Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Reiki Therapy, and Champi Massage into a single, highly effective custom full body massage session.

Chair Massage:  Brisk and invigorating strokes and mobilizations focusing on the head, neck, shoulders, back, arms, and hands of the seated client.  Goals include relaxing fatigued muscles, increasing circulation and revitalization of the central nervous system.  Session length is 10 to 15 minutes.

Session Information

I provide massage therapy services strictly by appointment only, and require a minimum of 24 hours advanced notice, for Standard and Extensive Massage Sessions.    A minimum of 7 days advanced notice is required to book a Chair Massage Session.  In the event of a scheduling conflict, I will make every effort to schedule with you, at the earliest possible date.

Once your appointment is confirmed, I consider that to be exclusively your day and time.  I will never double-book, or bump clients from my appointment book.

Despite our best efforts, life happens.  In the extreme case of an emergency, where I will be unable to keep our scheduled appointment, I will provide you with a minimum of 24 hours advanced notice, to reschedule our session.  I ask that you please do likewise, on my behalf.

Every client's body is unique, with different areas of concern and individual complexity.  My focus is on providing beneficial, positive results, rather than watching the clock.  I believe that thoroughness is important, and never use the clock as a meter.

Ideally, clients are asked to clear a two-hour block of time, for the session with me.  This allows time for paperwork, the massage session, and proper discussion time.  Unless a specific modality is requested, a custom Fusion Massage will be tailored to best suit the client's needs.

To be thorough, standard massage sessions are usually 70 to 90 minutes in length.  Upon request, I will gladly accomodate any time constraints that might exist for the client.  Click here to schedule an appointment with me. 

Pricing

I think it's greedy and ineffective, the way that some health care professionals keep the meter running, nickeling and diming clients, all under the guise of trying to help them to get better.  It can really begin to add up, and get expensive. 

To simplify things, I use only four fixed prices:

 

Standard Massage Session (60 to 90 minutes)..................................$65.00

Extensive Massage Session (120 to 180 minutes)............................$125.00

Your Venue Travel Cost (per 30 mile radius)...................................$15.00

Chair Massage Session (120 minutes)..........................................$120.00

 

Payment is due when services are provided, in the form of cash or personal check.  Credit cards may be used, via PayPal, by clicking on the links below, prior to the scheduled appointment.

Gratuities are always appreciated, but never expected.
