Integrated Bodywork
Relaxing and Therapeutic
Bodywork is an important compliment to all of my work. It is a primary modality that I continue to incorporate in my treatments. The contact between patient and practitioner supports the healing process, whether feeling a pulse, palpating a channel, or listening to the body.
I am trained in Shiatsu, Sotai and Cranial Sacral Therapy. Sensing and listening to the body is key to your therapeutic outcomes.
“I am committed to your comfort, relaxation and rehabilitation. If you are looking for a relaxing Shiatsu or need more therapeutic bodywork for pain or life stressors, I am happy to work with you.”
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu is supremely relaxing and releasing
Shiatsu is a form of Japanese Bodywork that addresses a wide range of health concerns and creates a healing state of deep relaxation and release.
It can easily be incorporated into an acupuncture session creating a more integrated and therapeutic treatment, that stays with the body.
During a treatment, clients wear loose, comfortable clothing. The practitioner stretches and mobilizes the limbs, while applying acupressure to specific acupuncture points and meridians.
In addition to being a powerful preventative therapy, Shiatsu can alleviate chronic and acute pain, insomnia, digestive problems, stress, anxiety, fatigue, and much more.
It is a gentle yet deep therapy, which is particularly nourishing for people weakened by chronic illness.
Sotai
Sotai is gentle, simple, and restorative
Sotai treatments utilize three important pillars of health: breath, mind, and movement.
In Sotai we are reeducating the body–mind to promote movement with ease and without pain.
This form of bodywork uses regulated breathing and gentle movements to increase range of motion in the body.
A body “holding” stress is a body open to disease. In Sotai, the movements are always mobilized away from the area of pain and toward the direction of ease and comfort.
The effect of Sotai is incredibly relaxing with an increased range of motion. Practitioners can do either a whole body Sotai treatment or include a few movements in conjunction with acupuncture or massage treatments.
