My entire practice has been built with the understanding that everyone's healing process is different, and your treatments with me are just one of many steps towards healing.  I personalize each massage by taking time to fully understand your concerns and expectations.  I then combine your focus with my ten years of experience for a more therapeutic approach.  I am totally dedicated to each of my clients and I realize the impact full body wellness has on your quality of life.

I have worked with chiropractors, psychologists, dentists, physical therapists, and primary care physicians in dual treatments to combat chronic and acute pains.  I can provide clinical charting, along with summaries that follow changes of condition, to your other healthcare providers. I believe integrating, or linking treatments creates a very powerful and dynamic approach for our ever so powerful and dynamic selves. 

Aromatherapy;  is the use of essential oils and their hydrosols for health and well-being.

   I have always been fascinated with the healing processes of the human body.  So when I was told that the olfactory nerve (the part of your nose that distinguishes smells) is the only nerve that is able to regenerate itself if damaged, it spoke volumes to me of the importance our sense of smell.  Smell has been proven to be the fastest trigger of memories, positive or negative.  There have also been studies of how certain aromas help induce deep relaxation, or even help sore, tired muscles to heal faster.  So at my clients discretion I gladly, and intuitively add oils to accent each session- just one more way I personalize each treatment.

      I am currently working on my aromatherapy certification, and have had the luck of studying directly under Cheryl Hoard, one of the worlds most knowledgeable people for the study of aromatherapy.  I consider her along with her shop, located in the heart of Maplewood, one of St. Louis'  best kept secrets.   I use her products exclusively, from the essential oils to my carrier bases!

      I highly recommend her website: www.cherylsherbs.com if you would like to learn more.

Myo-Fascial Release...

    is my main course of study. This form of massage can be used for a more therapeutic result. It can be combined either with deep tissue or trigger point therapy, and I have also managed to blend it into relaxation Swedish massages as well.  This type of massage is what I believe really allows for a tailored session.  Your fascia leads the way as it unwinds so no two sessions are alike.

What is Fascia?

   Fascia is a very intricate connective tissue that extends without interruption from the top of your head to the tip of your toes.  It also entwines throughout all other tissues and organs down to the cellular level. It pretty much holds the body in its shape, and holds your organs in their places.  Since this tissue creates the boundaries for all of your body parts, it has to be moved and/or stretched in order to have a positive lasting effect on the actual muscle tissue, or alignment of your bones. 

 What is Myo-Fascial Release?

    This is the practice of stretching and moving fascia in a way that creates enough space within your body to allow healing. There is a wide range of pressures that can be used in order to achieve a release.  Either way it is a slow moving, patient technique that really allows your body to be in charge of every direction the therapist should move.  It also allows your entire body to become relaxed even while targeting one specific area.
