I teach the Alexander Technique, a body-mind method of learning to release excess tension in order to regain natural movement, restore health, recover from trauma, or explore the energetic connection between body, mind, and spirit. Using gentle touch and verbal guidance, in an hour-long private lesson, we let go of unconscious habit and reconnect to our authentic selves. I specialize in applying the AT to childbirth and the performing arts, but people from all walks of life can benefit from Alexander lessons. Semi-private lessons and group classes also available.

1. Relaxation Massage: A very soothing rhythmic light to medium touch overall massage. Experience the healing power of touch. This sedates the nervous system and allows you to take a break from the stress of daily life. If you are looking to totally relax, let go and drift off into a state of bliss, then this just might be what you are looking for.

2. Tension Release Massage: A medium to firm pressure overall massage designed to release tension and relieve sore achy muscles. More attention will go to the specific areas that need it most. A very popular choice.

3. Deep Tissue Massage: A very deep / firm pressure muscle specific massage. A therapeutic massage designed to target problem areas and get out all the knots. Not only the superficial muscles, but deeper muscles that you may not even be aware of will be addressed. This massage will help you to release unhealthy patterns and pain from your body.

4. Tantric Massage: The Tantric massage will make you feel as if you are in a trance, where physical boundaries dissolve, time disappears, worries and problems no longer seem important, or are forgotten altogether. According to Tantric ideals, your entire body will be massaged. In this very loving ceremony you will be completely nurtured and pampered in the arms of your goddess, giving you a feeling of comfort and sense of well-being.
