Registered Massage Therapy is the assessment and manipulation of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia to achieve a therapeutic outcome. Therapeutic outcomes can include pain reduction, increased mobility as well as an embodied sense of well-being and deep relaxation.

Massage therapy can help address physical pain and tension and has also been shown to help ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and mental stress.

Registered Massage Therapy includes multiple modalities such as Hot/Cold Stones, Thai Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Diaphragmatic Breathing and more.

I use a variety of the above techniques in my treatments, tailored towards each client’s individual needs and goals.

Abdominal Therapy is a holistic approach to reproductive and digestive wellness that supports and rejuvenates the abdomen, womb and pelvic bowl. This treatment involves an external massage of the abdomen, back, hips, and sacrum which helps guide organs back into position and enhances nerve, blood, energy and lymph flow. The increased flow restores balance and allows the body to heal.

Abdominal Therapy offers a multitude of benefits for various conditions and concerns. It addresses menstrual pain, endometriosis, digestive issues, supports postpartum recovery, alleviates adhesions from surgeries, provides relief from pelvic pain or discomfort, as well as enhances fertility. Additionally, these sessions facilitate a meaningful reconnection to the womb space and pelvic bowl, supporting overall physical and emotional well-being.

These techniques are a combination of traditional wisdom and modern science. Dr. Rosita Arvigo studied for 40 years with traditional healers in Central America and combined what she learned with extensive anatomical study and her Naprapathic* practices. Some of the techniques have roots in ancient Maya practices of abdominal massage.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that supports the body’s natural rhythms by working with the craniosacral flow of cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

CST relieves tension in the Central Nervous System where the brain, spine, and nerves live and function. This decrease in tension promotes a deep sense of relaxation, making it an excellent treatment to encourage emotional well-being.

In addition to this deep relaxation of the nervous system, CST can aid in decreasing muscle pain, help to relieve headaches and post-concussion symptoms.

CST allows the innate wisdom of the body to guide the treatment, leading to an increase of inherent self-regulation, self-correction, and self-healing.

This on-the-table full body treatment combines a traditional therapeutic massage to the back, neck, and shoulders with Thai Massage stretches to the lower limbs, arms and neck.

Beginning with Swedish massage and hot stones to the back and shoulders to release musculoskeletal tension, Thai Massage stretches are then applied to the lower body, legs, feet, and arms. The treatment ends with gentle stretches and therapeutic massage to the arms, upper chest and neck.

Thai Massage is a dynamic, full body therapy that will take you through a series of controlled stretches, myofascial release, joint range of motion and acupressure to promote physical and energetic well-being.
