Experience a traditional form of bodywork that strengthens the mind and body connection to help you feel more energized and focused while inducing a deep sense of calm. This holistic approach emphasizes and stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself. It enhances the function of joints and muscles and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. It is designed to release muscle tension with slow firm pressure while focusing on deeper layers of fascia and connective tissue to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment. Drink plenty of water to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue session.
Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury or intense physical activity by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function. It involves the use of various techniques such as neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. The process of applying focused pressure to release trigger points can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with gentle long strokes, kneading, circular movements, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. This can lead to better mood and quality of sleep.
Learning how to receive massage is vital for optimizing its benefits. This includes understanding how to communicate preferences, tolerances, and goals effectively with the therapist. It also involves being mindful of physical and emotional responses during the session to learn to let go. Gaining a better understanding of the process enhances the overall experience and allows the massage therapist to tailor the session to meet the client’s specific needs safely and comfortably.
Following the tradition of sobadores from Jalisco, Mexico, my love for massage therapy was further reinforced during high school sports when our coaches were there to aid us in recovering from injuries. Their positive influence instilled in me the desire to pursue a career in fitness.
During college, I volunteered as an aerobics instructor at the local YMCA. However, due to overexertion, I began to suffer with painful tension and muscle fatigue. By instinct, I walked into the chiropractic office across the street from the YMCA. It was love at first touch... that initial massage and chiropractic adjustment gave me instant relief and it became part of my regular routine.
As I went on to be a personal trainer, I became fascinated with anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology! This led me to pursue a career in physical therapy as a nursing assistant at the California Rehabilitation Institute. I worked there for 2 years and gained so much knowledge and experience working with patients through their recovery process to regain function and mobility.
In my own search for relief from working long shifts at the hospital, I found a network of bodyworkers that encouraged me to be the change... to see a need, fill a need. Through palpation and personal experience, I have developed a keen sense of intuitive touch which allows me to identify tension, pain, and subtle changes in a client's body. I am now able to understand and promote the health and well-being of others because I answered the calling to my purpose.
I am simply a vessel through which the gift of massage therapy flows and I'm passionate about exerting that gift to the benefit of my clients. Yielding positive results and providing relief to those who entrust themselves to my capable hands is an honor. I am grateful to authentically offer what sets me apart and I look forward to continuing to grow in my practice as a professional massage therapist.
