One, this is the actual speed of this massage. I aim for a nice, easy dialog with your nervous system during most of my work. Nothing to get excited about, just getting deep into your body without making you tense up.

Two, I like to work complex joints like shoulders and hips from a lot of angles in a lot of positions. I love traction to invite space where it's needed. I work tissue when it's at its shortest, middle, and full length to keep that dialog dynamic. Broad handed holds and fingertip techniques offer a different sensory input, and both have their place in a good massage.

If you're lifting, doing martial arts or physical competitions, laboring at work, home or in the garden, or if you're spending a lot of time at the computer, your shoulders deserve some attention.

Get on a massage table. Do yourself a favor.

Attention to detail is key to an effective, therapeutic massage. My approach to massage isn't just about broad strokes; it's about offering sensory input to all the tissues from connective tissue and prime movers to stabilizers, inviting the nervous system to a more acute awareness of what's going on in the musculofascial system.

Slowly moving tissue in all directions gives me good information about where issues might be hiding, and it supports my client's journey to less pain and greater mobility by offering intentional sensory input.

Every part of your body is interdependent, not just connected. Those relationships are supported by encouraging your nervous system in improving communication amongst all those parts. Massage is a great tool to help accomplish this.

My approach to massage is curiosity-led. I check in with all parts of a muscle to find the issues in the tissues. I apply the best techniques for what I find, thinking always about how I'm engaging the nervous system with the sensory input I'm offering. The aim is to provoke a nervous system response that brings pain relief, improved range of motion, relaxation, and resolves the issues in those tissues.

My massage is precise, targeted, and always a response to what I find in each session; I don't have a routine. Every body is different, and every body is different in each session.

The story of your body is an evolving one. My work evolves with it over time, massage to massage.

The definitive guide.

I apply pressure from a lot of different angles during a massage, checking for issues in the tissues, having a conversation with your nervous system, and aiming to support your body in feeling more ease with all the tools at my disposal. .

The research on why massage works is still evolving, but the fact that massage works is well established. It may take time, and it will almost never be a linear progression, but we can work together to move you toward feeling good.

Why is there a robe in the massage room? Because no one wants to have to put all their clothes back on to run to the restroom in the middle of a session!
