Swedish-Deep Tissue
Pre & Post Natal – Stretching
I have been a licensed massage therapist for the past thirteen years. Before graduating from the Massage Therapy program at Columbia-Greene Community College in Hudson, New York, I played on the women’s golf team at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. During my senior year, I injured my neck and found pain relief with chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy. Experiencing and feeling the benefits of these healing therapies firsthand, I wanted to pursue an education in massage with a concentration on medical massage therapy.
Treatment sessions offer a blend of Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and relaxing, restorative stretching techniques. I am also certified to provide pre and postnatal massage. Swedish massage is beneficial in treating a number of conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain for ease of movement. Research has also shown Swedish massage can lower blood pressure, improve mood disorders, and reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. The focus of Swedish massage is more on relaxation whereas deep tissue massage technique facilitates releasing deep muscle tension and pain. It is my passion to meet every client where they are in their journey while focusing on achieving their treatment goals whether it be relaxation, stress relief, healing from an injury, and/or pregnancy support.
