Services

Back Massage

Individualized Massage

I combine the following modalities to meet the needs of each client:

  • Deep Tissue

  • Myofascial Release

  • Swedish Massage

  • Neuromuscular Techniques

Intraoral Massage

Intraoral massage helps alleviate pain in the jaw, neck, head, and shoulders from TMJ dysfunction. This service is about 15 minutes and is a part of a longer session.

Prenatal Massage

Receiving prenatal massage during pregnancy can help mitigate compensatory pain as your body changes and help keep you relaxed during an exciting time.

WHAT IS INTRAORAL MASSAGE AND DO I NEED IT?

Intraoral massage is a way to assess and treat TMJ dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint is where the jawbone attaches to the skull. Symptoms of dysfunction can include mobility issues, clicking sounds when opening and closing the mouth, headaches, jaw aches, and neck and shoulder tension. Many people clench or grind their teeth without knowing it, but waking with headaches can be a sign of jaw issues. 

​

Intraoral massage may feel a bit invasive because the therapist's gloved finger palpates the jaw muscles from the inside of your cheek. This musculature is almost never touched, so it may feel a little tender, especially the first treatment. I will walk you through the whole process before and during the treatment to make sure you feel comfortable. This part of the massage only takes about fifteen minutes, so the rest of the session will be spent checking in on neck and shoulder muscles in addition to any other problem areas you have.

IS PREGNANCY MASSAGE SAFE?

Generally speaking, with a therapist trained in prenatal massage, yes. The American Pregnancy Association says that women can begin receiving massage at any time during their pregnancy, so if you are comfortable, you can begin in your first trimester. 

 

If you have had a history of complications, including miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure, please disclose this when booking your appointment. In these situations, you will want to speak to your doctor to make sure they recommend massage.

DOES DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE HURT?

It certainly doesn't have to. The term "deep tissue" can be a misnomer, that it is just harder pressure everywhere, when that is not necessarily the case. There are techniques to reach deeper structures that doesn't cause the patient pain. With a mixture of neuromuscular and myofascial techniques, you can teach the body to allow the therapist to reach deeper muscles without the unnecessary pain. 

​

I like to approach deep tissue by lengthening muscles that are too tight to restore postural balance in the body.
