Integrative Massage
Nurturing, Relaxing, Therapeutic and Heartfelt
My training is in Integrative Massage and I am a graduate of Healing Spirits Massage Training Program. For those of you who know this program, and Helen Grigg who ran it so beautifully for decades, you know the following we Healing Spirits graduates have.
My work is a thoughtful combination of proven techniques, honed intuition and — above all — steady listening. I am attentive to every client in a holistic way, attuning to tension patterns, congestion in tissues or joints, breath, energy and verbal/nonverbal input so I may offer individualized sessions that are nurturing, relaxing and deeply therapeutic. I look forward to working with you.

Return To Your Body And Breath
Integrative Massage works to release held tension and dissolve body armoring. It delivers a sense of fluidity and sensitivity that often creates a deeply relaxing experience. I hold space for tension and holding patterns to release. We work with the breath in a variety of approaches to assist the release of tension and opening the body. Many of the strokes will overlap joints and corresponding body parts to create a feeling of integration, wholeness, and tension release that is often stored in joints.

The Gifts of Touch
Experts estimate that upwards of 90% of disease is stress-related.
Perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
