Massage: It is an instinctive, natural and ancient method of healthcare. Healing touch is the heart of massage. A full-body connected massage provides gentle and relaxing relief from emotional and physical stress. Your session may also contain deep tissue work, hot stones, herbal compresses, heat/cold, and essential oils as needed to release trapped tensions. Slow rhythmic techniques with different pressure, long strokes, kneading and joint mobilization may be used. Massages are done on a professional massage table or oriental mat.    Trust and Tuch: Much of the healing takes place through compassionate touch and listening, as well as the person allowing himself the time for treatment. We can see this in the way a child wants a hug when she is in pain or feeling insecure, that magic kiss on a sore knee can make  the difference. As adults, we experience comfort through touch, particularly when in difficulty. This touching is not learned behavior, but rather something instinctive.  A large part of the effectiveness of Massage Therapy is the trust between the practitioner and the receiver. With trust the receiver can relax better, and in this state of relaxation the body no longer needs to “hold on”. Once this happens, the reason for the holding on can come to the surface. Massage can therefore be useful in getting to the underlying causes of physical and emotional discomfort. The more we push against the way things are, the more resistance is built up; the more support we get the more trust we build.                            Tel. 954.614.9047
