Description

I have over 30 years professional experience and was a massage therapist at world famous Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa in Santa Fe for 17 years. I was trained in all spa and Japanese treatments as well as Thai massage and am an expert deep tissue therapist. I also am skilled working with elders and those who are sensitive where a more refined touch is needed.

I call my treatments Healing Massage as most clients experience healing on not only a physical level, but also find that their nervous system down-regulates and they release emotional holding from their body and pschy.

I tend to go into deep meditative states (yet also focused and present) when I work and have an abundance of technique at my fingertips. My focus is to free up physical and energetic blocks so that your muscles and body-systems receive a reset. You’ll experience this as warm surges, floating, tingling and a sense of well-being flowing throughout your body-mind by the end of the session.

Releasing neck, back and shoulder tension are a speciality. As well as releasing stress and emotional holding from the body and nervous system. I am a Hakomi somatic therapist and quite versed in working with trauma survivors.

Whether your tension is from sitting at a computer/work related, an accident or injury, aging, stress, transition or grief, we can address it! We’ll check-in at the beginning of your session but know that my hands-on work will be experiential/non-verbal.

I incorporate a seamless blend of Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, Lomi Lomi, stretching, reflexology, breathing and balancing energy-work. I do prenatal massage as well as Manual Lymp Drainage which I can do on it’s own or as a follow-up to deep tissue work.
