Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a beneficial way to release tension stored in the body and promote deep relaxation. I take an integrative approach to massage therapy. By listening to my client’s needs and bringing in my own intuition and years of experience, each session is individually tailored. I draw techniques and theory from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point & Myofascial Release, Shiatsu, Polarity & Ayurvedic massage. I offer sessions in Santa Cruz county. Massage can help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system, increase joint mobility and flexibility and much more!

Services
I use organic products in all massage sessions. Please notify me ahead of time if you are allergic or sensitive to any oils.
Ayurvedic Abhyanga Massage
My favorite massage! A nourishing, grounding massage that uses warm oil all over the body. This treatment promotes lymphatic movement, joint lubrication and relaxation. It is particularly soothing for vata constitutions, or those that experience restlessness, anxiety and nervous system depletion.
NOTE: I use a lot of oil in this treatment! Please wear or bring clothes you don’t mind getting oily to your session. Read more about my Ayurvedic Bodywork offerings here.
Signature Massage

This massage utilizes deeper pressure, trigger point, stretching and myofascial release work to relieve tension and adhesions in the body. This is a great option when dealing with pain and specific problem areas in the body.
