What it is
This is an opportunity to allow the particular needs of your body and mind to determine the course of the healing session, right in the moment. Here, all of the available modalities are free to be mixed and matched to best serve the unique needs of the individual. As alive beings, we are always shifting and changing and our tensions are always transferring to and from one kind of tissue to another. Bones, fluid, muscles and energy all get equal time or whatever unequal ratio of time that best serves the whole person. This option also helps to take the pressure off- when you know you need care but aren’t sure what modality will best serve, you have the option to take advantage of the expertise of the practitioner to help build the most effective treatment.
How it works
The answer to this is entiresly dependent on the client and their needs for the day. Such is the nature of this work.
I incorporate the full range of my skills. When Therapeutic Massage is called for, my primary tools are Deep Tissue/Sports, Swedish, Orthopedic, Prenatal, Trigger Point, Neuromuscular Re-Patterning, Myofascial Release and PNF Stretching.
​
Zero Balancing and Central Axis Integration are my tools for gentle skeletal alignment.
To serve the organs and fluids of the body I draw upon Manual Lymphatic Drainage techniques from Vodder, BMC influences and Visceral Manipulation.
The logistics
The logistics of the session will be determined after a verbal intake. I will comprise a loose plan of what modalities and how to blend them in the way that I think best serves. The client will have the opportunity to agree or tweak my plan. Please be prepared to disrobe and be covered with sheets, or to lie in comfortable clothing with or without blankets as client desires.
In order to support transformation in the structure of the body, as well as strengthen vitality and resilience, I often integrate hands-on energy work into sessions. Zero Balancing, Process Acupressure, Advanced Cranial Therapy, and Energy Kinesiology inform this practice.
Specialized Treatment for lower back pain
This Integrated Bodywork session, specialized in relieving acute and chronic lower back pain, includes massage, gentle skeletal alignment and neuromuscular re-patterning. With this deep and precise method, your pelvis, hips, lumbar and lower ribcage is not only released and aligned, but taught (non-verbally) how to hold the new more functional muscle recruitment pattern for longer periods of time. This work is supportive of herniated spinal discs, stenosis, sciatica and other common lower back/pelvic conditions. It also provides support and relief for those with no diagnosis and just a lot of pain and discomfort.
This Integrated Bodywork session is geared towards awakening the parasympathetic nervous system that puts our bodies into “rest and digest” mode as it calms the sympathetic “fight or flight” mode. Acupressure designed to sedate the fight or flight energy meridian is often incorporated and you will leave with a few simple acupressure techniques you can use on yourself whenever you feel nervous or stressed in daily life. If necessary, skeletal energy techniques like Zero Balancing can be integrated to ensure that your stress relief goes bone deep. Life’s stresses will never cease, but this integrated
body-therapy strengthens ones resilience to life’s stress by coordinating and strengthening the parts of you that have become discombobulated under stressful stimulus. If pain is contributing to stress, those issues will be addressed as well.
