Duro-Neuro-Modulation is a gentle science-based technique that treats the vast and complex network of nerves supplying our muscles and skin.

These delicate and hard-working structures can become stuck, over-stretched or compressed when passing through various areas like bones, joints and connective tissue. When this happens, signals of distress are sent to the brain - often resulting in sensations of discomfort and pain.

This technique works towards reducing pain and resetting these signals by gently lifting, shifting and stretching the skin to free up the nerves in their pathways.

Myofascial release is an approach that involves applying consistent, gentle, gliding pressure at a very slow pace over areas that feel achy, stuck or have sensations of reduced mobility.

The focus of this technique is to reduce pain and restore motion by creating space between connective tissues and allowing muscle fibers to relax, reset and release.

Hailed as the original medical massage, this classic technique uses a variety of strokes - effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, friction and vibration - to address the different layers of musculoskeletal tissue.

The depth of strokes can vary and an oil, lotion or gel is typically applied to the skin.

This technique is commonly used as a way to improve circulation, address aches and pains, reduce stress and promote relaxation.

This technique is similar to acupuncture but without the needles.

Using moderate to deep compressions with fingers, palms, knuckles and forearms - the focus of this modality is to encourage relaxation, restore balance and promote an overall sense of wellbeing by working specific points along the meridians used in acupuncture and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) theory.

This powerful and distinct style of bodywork focuses on promoting harmony and restoring balance in the body.

The goal is to reduce and release areas believed to be holding energetic stagnation (creating pain) by harmonizing and balancing the meridian systems used in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) theory.

It can be very helpful in the treatment of certain types of musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues.

Shiatsu is an ancient form of therapeutic bodywork from Japan.

This technique uses kneading, pressing, soothing, tapping and stretching techniques.

Typically done over clothes or a sheet, the focus of this modality is to balance the flow of energy through and around the various energetic channels associated with organs in the body.

This technique can be used to treat a wide range of internal, musculoskeletal and emotional conditions. It is also thought to reduce muscle stiffness, influence the nervous system and help ease symptoms of conditions like insomnia, fatigue, stress and anxiety.

Traumatic experiences can change the brain and nervous system’s perceptions and responses to the outside world. It can affect sleep, mood, thoughts, physical experiences and shift feelings around what is safe or comfortable - especially in new or different settings.

I seek to diminish these responses by creating a safe, comfortable environment where you can rest, relax and receive bodywork.

In my practice, emphasis is placed on mutual support, understanding, listening and respectful communication.
