Finding Center Massage & Bodywork

Therapeutic Bodywork focused on the whole individual, designed to help you find your center.

Modalities

While I am at capacity for traditional bodywork clients, I remain open for barefoot bodywork, Intraoral, lymphatic drainage for wellness, post-surgery, as well as MLD for lipedema and lymphedema management.

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) – I have been trained in the Vodder technique of MLD. This modality is not “massage”, but rather a manual touch technique characterized by light pressure rhythmic strokes. Full body MLD provides your lymphatic system with a tune up, encouraging stagnant lymph to flow towards regional lymph nodes for processing. Great for those with lipedema, fibromyalgia, long covid, part of recovery after illness, or simply for those feeling sluggish. *MLD is safe for most individuals, but contraindications do exist. It is imperative to disclose any and all prior surgeries within the last year, as well as chronic health conditions.

Post Surgical MLD – This is the Vodder technique of MLD designed specifically to work with post operative patients. MLD following surgery helps to remove cellular waste, reduce swelling, improve healing outcomes, reduce pain, and is deeply relaxing to receive. Offering support for patients healing from mastectomy, breast augmentation/reduction, abdominoplasty, liposuction, knee replacement, and more. *Telephone or text consults are required prior to your first post-op session.

Intraoral – This specific modality is used for individuals who have pain in the jaw, neck, face, or head. It is particularly potent for individuals that clench or grind their teeth, have lengthy dental procedures, and those that have frequent headaches or migraines. Intraoral sessions include detailed neck, ear, and scalp work, as well as work inside the mouth.

Therapeutic Bodywork – Different techniques are used during a single session, dependent on the needs of the individual. Bodywork techniques include myofascial release, trigger point, pin & stretch, stretching, and more. Pressure can range from medium to deep. This style is used to address imbalances, improve tissue tone & pain, and increase mobility. *All bodywork sessions include cupping and/or scraping.

Bodywork & Relax – This includes the best of both worlds, bodywork only where it’s indicated and relax where it’s not. This modality may or may not include use of cupping or scraping.

Barefoot Bodywork – This modality is deep sustained pressure from my feet, using very little emollient for intensely effective myofascial work.
