Full-Spectrum Touch
 in-person sessions integrate an osteopathic approach to massage therapy with energy work, supportive dialogue and body-mind-spirit practices in a varying blend that honors each client's changing needs.
(See below for details)

Sessions are done either clothed or unclothed (with towels for draping and with oil), using the therapeutic bodyCushion shown in the pictures here, which substantially enhances your comfort and relaxation during the session, as well as the effectiveness of the work.

This image shows off the luxurious support of the therapeutic body cushion, used in every session. Notice the leg and arm supports.
 
All sessions begin with a hands-on assessment to help focus the work.

Your session will include:

A Comprehensive Assessment

Lasting results begin by getting to the root of the problem.  After hearing about where you hurt, I’ll look at you walking, standing and sitting to get a thorough sense of your body’s tension patterns, and consider the impact of:
-   Past injuries and health challenges
-   Recent demands on the body, including
    exercise practices, work-station issues,
    the physical demands of parenting, recent
    “overuse“ stresses, etc.; and 
-   Recent + ongoing life-stress factors that may
    be contributing to your physical challenges.


Expert Bodywork Care

More than just a set of techniques, a Full-Spectrum Touch session is a kind of improvisational dialogue as I work with you to bring openness and relief to areas of restriction and discomfort, using a synergistic blend of the following elements:

-  A Hands-on Fusion of:
     -   Deep-Tissue Massage
     -   Craniosacral Therapy
     -   Myofascial Release
     -   Active and passive stretching and other
         muscle energy and positional release
         techniques
     -   Energy work from Chinese acupressure,
         Reiki and more

-  Bodymind Techniques:
     -  Imagery
     -  Yogic Breath Work
     -  Mindfulness-based body awareness
        and  inquiry and, where appropriate,
     -  Body-centered Trauma Healing

-  State-of-the-art Professional Tools:
     -  Electric lift table and bodyCushion for
        maximum comfort and support for
        more effective treatment.

Support and Counselling/Coaching

The most important ingredient in your healing formula is YOU and the choices you make for your own self-care.  I’ll help you expand your sense of those choices through:
-    Supportive dialogue, integrating bodymind techniques listed above
-    Clear explanations of the anatomical basis
     of your pain and tension patterns
-    Recommendations of stretches,
     strengthening exercises and self-care
     practices and
-   
Referrals, when appropriate, to a vast
     network of healing arts practitioners.
