Namaste
Modern living stresses our bodies, minds and spirits. Over time, stress creates blocks in the body that result in physical and emotional discomfort.
Thai Massage and Yoga open blocked areas by putting muscles in lengthened, stretched positions. Body Electric work redistributes life force energy throughout the body to reenergize and invigorate a sense of health and vitality. Body Contact Massage releases endorphins by rolling controlled body weight over the surface of the client.

How to Get the Best Massage
In my practice, I realize that for many of my clients the time that they are on the massage table is the time for quiet. Although its not a time to talk, a great massage is a communication and exchange of energy between the client and therapist. When energy and information flows between us, the depth of the healing and the release of stress and pleasure can be even greater.
Make Some Noise
When a client makes sounds of pleasure, I know I’m doing well. When I know I’m doing well, I give more. When a client makes little or no sound, I’m less enthusiastic because I’m working with less information. Feedback is great. Positive or constructive feed back is always welcome.
Breath Deep
When babies are resting, their breathe moves their entire bodies. When we’re stressed, our breath gets pulled high up in our chests. Stress demands more oxygen in the brain to deal with hectic situations. As we relax, our breath just naturally descends into our abdomen. On the table, I often use guided visualization to help my clients release stress and the move their breathing lower into their bodies.
Wash Away Your Day
A hot shower before a massage goes a long way. My space has an EXCELLENT shower with great pressure and really hot, hot water. Feel free to wash away your day before or after you surrender to the table.
When we get on a massage table, we bring our day with us. We bring our work, our stresses and our aches from sitting and looking at technology all day. Massage is a great way to relax and these are some easy enjoyable things to do not only relax more but also to get the best out of your massage therapist.
