Listed here are the techniques in my multidimensional approach to massage and bodywork.
Learn more about these modalities and their benefits in my blog. Coming Soon!
Therapeutic Massage
The Signature Therapeutic Bodywork provides pain and tension relief, improves range of motion, and aids in rehabilitation.
The session combines Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, myofascial stretch, cupping, acupressure and sound therapy.
Therapeutic bodywork is tailored to your individual needs, it requires communication between the recipient and therapist. For optimal results, consecutive sessions are recommended according to the treatment plan set by your therapist.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), specifically the Leduc method, is a gentle massage therapy aiding lymphatic system function.
Benefits of manual lymphatic drainage can include reducing edema (swelling), promoting healing after surgery or injury, improving immune function, and addressing conditions like lymphedema. It's often used in conjunction with other therapies for conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and certain types of dermatological issues.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing modality by which the practitioner channels universal life force energy to the recipient.
This technique is based on the understanding that we have an unseen "life-force energy" that flows throughout our body. When the energy is flowing freely, we are happy and healthy. When the flow is deficient or blocked we can experience mental, emotional or physical imbalances.
Beneficial for stress, anxiety, chronic pain, or those seeking a holistic approach.
Prenatal massage
Your pregnancy care session provides a gentle and tailored care to address common discomforts like back pain and swelling. Enjoy improved circulation, stress reduction, baby bonding and a moment of self-care during this precious time. Prenatal massage is suggested only after the first trimester. We offer care as your body evolves and can assist labour induction as of 38 weeks.
Sound therapy
Sound therapy with tuning forks is a vibrational healing technique that uses precisely calibrated metal forks to create specific frequencies. These frequencies help restore balance in the body by influencing the nervous system, energy pathways, and cellular function. Tuning forks produce a pure sound wave that resonates with the body’s natural frequencies. When placed near or on the body, the vibrations travel through tissues and fluids, encouraging relaxation, reducing tension, and improving circulation. The frequencies can also stimulate the body’s energetic pathways (meridians), similar to acupressure or acupuncture, promoting the free flow of energy (Qi) and supporting deep healing.
Swedish massage
A gentle, full-body Swedish massage to promote a sense of calm and relaxation. It is well-suited for individuals with busy lifestyles, as it helps to reduce stress, calm your nervous system and improve your sleep. The benefits extend to fostering an overall sense of well-being, making it a valuable form of self-care for those seeking both physical and mental relaxation.
A holistic consultation integrates acupressure, dietetics, and flower essences to support overall well-being. Depending on your needs, additional modalities such as moxibustion, gua sha, and sound therapy may be included.
Acupressure
An ancient healing art predating acupuncture, acupressure stimulates key points on the body to release tension, enhance circulation, and restore energy flow (Qi). Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it helps rebalance the body's systems and can support:
✔ Digestive issues
✔ Menstrual cycle imbalances
✔ Anxiety, stress, & sleep concerns
✔ Respiratory health & immune support
✔ Fertility & pregnancy
✔ Chronic & acute pain
✔ Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis)
✔ Fatigue & burnout
Flower essences
Flower essences are liquid extracts from flowers, each linked to distinct emotional states. These essences harness the vibrational energy of the flowers to gently support emotional well-being. They strive to balance emotions, enhance self-awareness, and address underlying emotional imbalances. Prepare to explore the root of your emotions and core beliefs.
Dietetics
Food plays a vital role in maintaining health. TCM dietetics considers the energetic properties of food and how they interact with the body. A consultation helps identify imbalances and create a nutrition plan to support overall well-being.
