  > Integrative bodywork sessions are designed to support healing on many levels of one’s being for a lasting peace, relaxation and support beyond the session. When energy patterns that are no longer serving us are cleared, and our subtle body energy field is illuminated, it can inform our physical, mental, emotional and circumstantial reality in a way that supports a deeper level of health, clarity, vitality, and connectedness. I draw from a wide array of healing modalities.  Depending on your intention for the session, we can work in various ways from energy work to healing bodywork and massage.

Massage

Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function and promote relaxation and well-being. The word comes from the French massage "friction of kneading", or from Arabic massa meaning "to touch, feel or handle" or from Latin massa meaning "mass, dough". In distinction the ancient Greek word for massage was anatripsis, and the Latin was frictio.

Massage involves acting on and manipulating the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, and feet. There are over eighty different recognized massage modalities. The most cited reasons for introducing massage as therapy have been client demand and perceived clinical effectiveness.

In professional settings massage involves the client being treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, or lying on a mat on the floor. The massage subject may be fully or partly unclothed. Parts of the body may be covered with towels or sheets.
