Massage Therapy
Your Session
In my years as a massage therapist, I have found that something is missing. There is a level of care and healing modern day western massage doesn’t offer. It took me going deeper into my own self-discovery, my own healing, and my own training to discover the bridge to lasting results in today’s modern massage.
What I found was, a system based on the Five Elements Framework used in traditional Chinese massage, that has the potential to not only relieve pain and stiffness in the body, but allow my clients to see themselves more clearly, create lasting lifestyle changes, and improve their quality of life.
Does it feel like a regular massage? Yes, but even better. There’s a unique element incorporated into each session that is harmonizing to the body, mind, and spirit.
In your session you will receive specialized and unique treatments very few massage therapists in the world have been trained to apply; Xiao Dao, Qigong Meridian Therapy (QMT), and Life Force: Tao of Medical Qigong.
The foundation of my treatments are based on moving blood, lymph, and Qi, the vital energy that powers the body, to remove tension blockages, encourage flow, and stimulate your inner healing system.
Below, you’ll find the three forms of bodywork I offer — Qigong Meridian Therapy (QMT), Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, and Thai Massage for the Table — each with its own focus and pricing.
How to Get the Most Benefit
- In order to see continued results, I recommend a daily Qigong practice to keep your own body tuned up.
- In your sessions, you’ll receive 4 Qigong points called the Four Energy Gates to stimulate daily at home, to keep your body tuned up, your energy flowing freely, and build a strong energy foundation.
3 easy step
How Qigong Meridian Therapy works?
What is QMT?
Often referred to as massage, Qigong Meridian Therapy (QMT) is a full-body stimulation of the meridian pathways.
How does it work?
With specific massage techniques, QMT breaks up stagnation at the meridian level, allowing the body to rebalance naturally.
How does it feel?
QMT feels much like traditional massage. Techniques using the thumb, palm, and sometimes elbow are applied to the body as well as percussion and rocking to release stagnation and stimulate your inner healing system.
Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage
Ashiatsu is a Western form of therapeutic massage performed with my clean, bare feet — gliding and pressing with broad, flowing strokes along your muscles for a deep, soothing tissue massage. Because I use my feet and my body weight, Ashiatsu delivers deep, even pressure without the sharp, digging feeling of elbows or thumbs.
It is wonderful for moving blood and lymph, which supports your immune system and helps rejuvenate the nervous system, leaving you in a state of ultimate relaxation. Ashiatsu is perfect for those who want a more intense, therapeutic massage and crave deep, broad pressure.
Thai Massage for the Table
Thai Massage for the Table is an interactive massage that involves movement, stretching, and broad pressure across the Sen lines — the “Wind lines,” relating to the Lungs in ancient Thai medical massage. Together we release tension, elongate the muscles, improve joint flexibility, reduce pain, and increase the vitality of the body.
You will stay fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing — awake yet deeply relaxed throughout the session — for an active, restorative experience unlike traditional table massage.
