Integrative Massage

My Integrative style of massage is influenced by various modalities. These may include techniques such as Swedish, Ayurvedic, Myofascial, Shiatsu, Trigger-Point and Reiki. I work to regulate the nervous system and unwind bound up fascia. My pressure is customized to clients needs, ranging from light, medium to firm. 

I offer medium-firm pressure with deep-tissue on focus areas, however no full body deep-tissue treatments.
