Every session is tailored to Your Needs
Sessions with Amy are an integrations of multiple types of bodywork. A thorough intake will be done before your session to gather information about your health history and goals. Your communication and feedback is encouraged throughout your session. Below is a brief descriptions of modalities that may be used during a session.  

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage is often practiced directly on the skin with either lotion or oil. Professional draping techniques ensure that you always feel safe and secure. Amy is trained in Swedish massage, Trigger Point therapy and Myofascial techniques. Therapeutic massage can focus on relaxation and stress relief as well as specific pain patterns. 

Shiatsu Therapy

 Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The word shiatsu means "finger pressure." The techniques are administered over the clothes using mostly thumb pressure. Palms, elbows or feet may also be used to apply pressure. Exercising and correcting methods can be used to create a dynamic experience. Shiatsu focuses on correcting any imbalances or disharmonies that can manifest on a physical, emotional and/or energetic level. According to Chinese Medicine, physical manifestations of pain are rooted in a deeper disharmony in the body. Both aspects are addressed in order to have long term results. 

Chi Nei Tsang (abdominal massage)

Chi Nei Tsang is a form of abdominal massage that is rooted in Taoism. It focuses on clearing energetic and physical blockages in the abdomen so that the Chi (energy) can flow smoothly. Although much of the work is done directly with the abdomen the effects can be felt throughout the body.

Craniosacral Therapy

​​Craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands-on therapy that focuses on assessing and treating the craniosacral system which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Very gentle pressure is used to release any restrictions in the craniosacral system which supports self-healing and optimal functioning. Craniosacral therapy can be a useful tool to address physical pain as well as mental and emotional dysregulation.
