Question/Answer

Why Integrative Massage?

Like most seasoned massage therapists, I am certified in numerous therapeutic modalities. If I have a tool in my toolbox that will help you that day, I am going to use it. Unlike booking at a spa, you do not need to choose a "relaxation" or "deep tissue" massage. This not only takes the pressure off of you to choose ahead of time but also allows us to combine best-fit modalities to help you with your individual goals that day.

What happens during Vibrational Sound Healing?

In this private, fully-clothed session, Himalayan bowls are placed on and around the body. The bowls are chimed with a mallet creating a penetrating vibration, entraining the nervous system and creating a calm and meditative state. Other instruments, such as Tingsha bells, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, and drums balance energetic centers and raise the client's vibrational frequency, promoting healing on all levels. Clients leave feeling grounded, balanced, and elevated.
