Massage
at Soaring Crane
I
am
trained in a variety of bodywork techniques including Thai Yoga
Massage, Shiatsu (acupressure), and Injury Treatment. Many
of these techniques are complementary and may be combined during your
session. Initial
sessions
are a minimum of 90 minutes in
length and
include a full health history intake, as well as, a full treatment. You may
schedule subsequent
sessions between 1-3 hours in length.
Thai Yoga
Massage
Thai
Yoga Massage is a holistic, meditative, and interactive style of
bodywork. Sometimes referred to as 'assisted yoga', Thai Yoga Massage
incorporates elements of yoga, stretching, breathing, acupressure, and
rhythmic compression along energy lines. It is deeply relaxing and
grounding, yet also energizing and balancing.
The bodywork I
teach and practice is done on a
comfortable heated futon and without the need for oils and lotions.
Because I integrate movement and stretching into my sessions, please
wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing such as a cotton shirt and
shorts, or a sweatshirt with sweatpants. Massage &
Acupuncture
A synergistic
effect is created
when receiving acupuncture followed by
bodywork. Acupuncture opens the body's energy meridians and allows a
person to be
more receptive to bodywork. Clinically, I find that my patients
repsond better to a combination treatment.
