Full-Spectrum Touch sessions integrate Western deep-tissue massage and related systems with energy work, supportive dialogue and mind-body practices in a varying blend that honors each client's changing needs.
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 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.

Most sessions begin with a hands-on assessment to help focus the work.
Techniques, Modalities and more
The list below details the techniques I draw from - the tools I use. The heart of the work, from my end, comes in listening in each moment - with my hands, my ears, my eyes, my heart - for what would best support my client's goals for the session.
Modalities include: - deep tissue, myofascial, orthopedic massage - acupressure and trigger point therapy - assisted stretching and muscle energy techniques - polarity, reflexology, shiatsu and therapeutic touch - craniosacral therapy - moist heat and cold therapies - sound and breath work - supportive lifestyle counselling - body-centered inquiry and - mindfulness-based trauma healing
