What can I expect in my session ?
Your session will start with time to for your story and to discuss your goals.. From what I hear we will go through some assessments and a breathing analysis, that will act as pre tests during our session. Our sessions will be like a dance. We will assess, release, then integrate with movements or post tests. This allows us to make sure we follow the right path and have the best results. Every session ends by bringing the nervous system down and grounding the body. We will release layer by layer making sure we have long lasting results.
What will I wear?
Our work is done with underwear or non restrictive tops and shorts. During analysis we want to be able to see the skin, but want you to feel as comfortable as possible. You will be doing slight movements with me while we are working and walking so wear clothes that will cover you appropriately. .
What kind of work is this?
Great question. The modalities used are Structural Integration, Nuerokinetic therapy, Dynamic NueroKinetic stabilization, Myofacial release, and many sports massage techniques. Now let’s break those down for you.
Structural Integration or Rolfing is a holistic system of manual therapy and movement re-education that uses deep hands on fascial manipulation to organize our structure, improve our function, and re-establish the body's relationship to its vertical axis. What makes this different from other massage is that I will place my hands in places of tension and ask for movement. This helps the release and organizes the fascia that allows the body to do lots of its own healing.
NKT or NeuroKinetic Therapy is a manual muscle testing protocol that helps speak directly to the brain by using motor control theory. Making sure that I am releasing what needs to be released to reverse built up compensation patterns and activate inhibited muscles.
DNS or Dynamic NeuroKinetic Therapy is a rehabilitation approach which stimulates movement control centers in the brain to activate how our bodies were meant to move by restoring and stabilizing locomotor function. More simply put we developed a sophisticated way of moving, breathing ,and stabilizing when we were babies. Often the key to unlocking restrictions in adult structures is reestablishing what we learned from infancy.
My massage modalities range from Trigger Point, Deep Tissue, Thai, Myofascial, Passive joint work, Scar Work, Pre and Post Natal and many others. I have a passion for learning and am always open to new methods around me.
Do you take insurance?
I’m always willing to try with your insurance. If you can get a prescription for massage, then usually I can get it covered. Please reach out and send me your insurance and Ill investigate.
How does booking work?
Because I do a lot of outcalls I have you schedule a request. I will either accept or reach out to adjust the timing slightly given my other clients. You can then pay with Venmo, PayPal, Check, or Cash at your session.
