- Swedish MassageMy mission and passion is to help each client attain the benefits of good health, full recovery from pain and to reduce stress. I try to accomplish this mission through the practice of massage therapy in my areas of expertise, which include muscle release therapy (combines compression, extension, movement and breath to lengthen the muscle and restore positive muscle memory to relieve pain), Swedish massage (relaxation therapy designed to relax muscles through long strokes), deep tissue massage (focuses on deeper layers of muscle tissue to release chronic patterns of tension), stress relief therapy (increases circulation to stimulate lymph system to help body fight toxins), reflexology and acupressure therapies (pressure applied to the feet and hands to concentrate on the pressure and zones that reflect the image of the body), and geriatric and pregnancy massage therapies (therapy designed to accommodate the body structure during these stages of life).
