Massage Approach
"I approach every massage differently, as everyone's body is different, and because of that I include all types of my trained massages free-of-charge. This allows me to approach each massage with all my tools available and to give the best-fitting massage."
Some Services Available In All Massages
These three types of massage techniques listed below are incorporated in all sessions free of charge when needed and can be used in deep-tissue massage to assist in dealing with extremely tense muscle tissue. Each are used when needed and never just for spectacle. Please note these are not the only techniques used during sessions, but more of the commonly used.
Cupping
Cupping is used for for pain relief, muscle tension, inflammation, relaxation and primarily used for deep-tissue massage. It works by using vacuum-sealed cups on the skin, pulling up skin and muscle tissue in the process. While traditional massage is all about pushing down on muscle, cupping can do the exact opposite and release muscle tension not easily accessible through normal massage. Note: It can leave round skin discoloration or bruises where the cups have been that can last for several days.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is used for skin care, blood flow and muscle tension. It can help reduce scar tissue on newer scars, release severe muscular tension and assist with blood flow. It works by using a smooth-edged tool to stroke downward over an entire musclar head, initially with light pressure and slowly increased  pressure with each stroke. Some regions often treated by Gua Sha are the neck, back, forearms, shoulders and calves. Note: Gua Sha can cause small, red dots underneath the skin that can last for several days.
Trigger Point
Trigger point therapy is used to focus on taut bands of muscle that are potentially causing local or referred pain and limited range of motion. Trigger point therapy is done by applying pressure on a specific area of tension, which causes a buildup of nitric oxide, causing the body to react by opening up capillaries of the circulatory system. This increases immediate blood flow to the area which can boost healing speed and reduce muscular cramps.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is used to help alleviate muscular and connective tissue tension, sometimes causing pain. Referral pain can exist from the site of tightness and cause other areas affected by the muscle to experience pain or numbness. This is similar to trigger point therapy, which fascial (connective tissue) being the of a focus). It is done through slow-moving, light pressure strokes looking for hardened areas that are usually soft or elastic, which are known as trigger points. Then heavier pressure is exerted to the hardened areas to cause the tissue to release. This type of massage can be a time-consuming but very rewarding.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is used to relieve swelling brought on by medical treatment, acute injuries or illness that is causing strain on your lymphatic system. The swelling of an inflamed area normally goes down as the area heals, but sometimes the fluid has a hard time draining and remains afterward. Often this can lead to pain and inflammation. The treatment involves gentle pressure on very specific areas of your body the help the body move lymph to major lymph nodes.
Effleurage
Effleurage is used to boost blood circulation, lymph flow and overall relaxation. It is done with long, light strokes, often in circular rotation which can move lymph, blood and other liquids that have a hard time moving in certain locations.
Petrissage
Petrissage uses kneading (squeezing) and rolling of the skin and muscle tissue underneath with deep pressure to ease muscular tension, connective tissue adhesions and brings on cardiovascular and lympahtic responses that can relocate static chemicals that have builtup from muscular exertion.
