Thai Yoga Massage
Traditional Thai Yoga Massage is really a deep, full-body treatment, starting at the feet and progressing to the head. Using thumbs, palms, elbows, feet, and knees on acupressure points along the “sen” energy lines of the body (similar to Chinese Qi meridians), and using a sequence of gentle, flowing exercise movements (yoga like positions), the recipients’ body is moved, loosened and stretched working all the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. This unique and effective type of massage influences the energetic aspect ( called loom in Thai) as well as the physical, restoring the flow of energy throughout the body. It’s aim is to harmonize and energize to maintain health and well-being. The client is fully clothed (except for shoes & socks) and lies on a mat on the floor.

Scar Tissue Release Therapy
A simple scar from childhood to a major scar from surgery as an adult can have a profound physiological effect on the body. I use a scar tissue release system that approaches the multi faceted matrix of fascia three dimensionally. This particular technique helps to release and realign the adhered tissues (fascial restrictions). It works by lengthening the superficial to deep layers of fascia, breaking down adhesions and increasing lymphatic and venous circulation to the tissue.
