What can you expect when you come in?
Most of my sessions are done fully clothed, although there are exceptions. Traditional massage would require you to undress to the level that you are comfortable with (in private),and get on the table under the sheet or covering. Once the therapist re-enters the room it is up to them to keep your breasts and genitals covered.
My sessions are done fully clothed, usually lying on-top of the coverings (unless you are cold). I usually begin with some acupressure, moving on to SomaEnergetics (tuning forks) and interspersing essential oils along the way.
If you have a specific complaint, such as a tight shoulder or hip etc ...I would probably have you undress in the traditional method so that I would be able to do some massage on that specific area. Of course, if you are coming in for a full body massage only, then that, also, would require the traditional set-up.
Frequently, while I am working, I have intuitive thoughts and comments that I will pass on to you, for you to decipher those which resonate with you. I fully expect you to only take that which you feel is right and leave the rest. I have no emotional investment in the information or whether you choose to receive it or not. I take no offense.
I realize that most people think of coming in for a massage because they have soreness or they want that typical style of relaxation massage, and while I can do that, my sessions tend to be more about integrating your entire being. Listening to the subtle messages that your spirit, mind, body and emotions might be trying to reveal to you. Sometimes, the only way that your energy system can get your attention is through pain. Sometimes, you need an interpreter to figure out, just what that pain is trying to say.
It is my intent to provide a sacred space, a quiet respect, where clients can hear the subtle messages of their body and enable them to take full responsibility for their healing process. I consider myself a facilitator and companion as we look together for the body's wisdom and direction in the healing process.
If you are looking for something different, a way to get more in-tuned with your body, a more integrated approach to your well-being, I encourage you to come in and see me. Let's work as a team to hear those messages. Let's get you connected to the whole you, so the choices you make work toward health and well-being!
Let's take "A Walk In Spirit" together!
Namaste'
