Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that uses firm pressure to target deep muscle adhesions and connective tissue layers.  It is effective for relieving chronic pain, muscle tension, and addressing specific problem areas  such as back pain, neck pain, and muscle injuries. I use many special techniques from orthopedic, structural integration, and clinical bodywork to provide you with deep, pain-relieving treatment. I use cross-fiber friction, active release, muscle energy, and more techniques combined with tools to get results. It's common to experience some soreness after a deep tissue massage, similar to the feeling after a strenuous workout. Whether your symptoms are due to overuse, injury, or prolonged muscle tension, come see me and experience the transformative benefits of deep tissue massage.

For Thai Massage you wear your own comfortable stretchy clothes and receive bodywork on a comfortable mat on the floor, or on a massage table. I'm gentle while going deep. I'm trained in the Northern style so I know how to skillfully employ my feet to administer deep, sustained pressure. I harness the power of my entire body using feet, knees, elbows, forearms, palms, and thumbs to perform therapeutic work. I combine acupressure, stretches, and movement techniques in my extensive repertoire.  I'm an expert in Thai Massage with certifications from multiple Thai instruction programs including Deon DeWitt, Shama Kern, Patrick Ingrassia, and Ralf Marzen.  Whether you seek the traditional Thai experience on a mat, the added comfort of a massage table, or even the unique sensation of being walked on, I am adept at delivering it all. I have  great success rate in helping people feel better - Randy

Stretching helps muscles release and improves range of motion. It release endorphins which is a natural feel good hormone in the body. Stretch sessions are easier fully clothed and I switch between the mat and table to get optimum results.

An Esalen Massage is an inward journey rather than purely a therapeutic treatment. Through long strokes, a slow pace, and pauses, you are invited to return to your natural state of balance and alignment. Transformation occurs not through deep-tissue work but rather through an active participation between giver and receiver.
