ABOUT MY Remedial Massage TREATMENT

As a practitioner of 14 years I have selected many techniques and treatment approaches in my ‘toolbox’. Among others, I use Muscle Energy Techniques, Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Reiki, Spinal Release and Polarity. I defuse Trigger points and other types of connective tissue restrictions. I use stretches and joint mobilisation techniques.

Most of all, however, I combine what I know technically about my craft with passion, commitment, intuition and the intention to achieve with you and for you a significant increase in your wellbeing and overall health.

I treat Muscular-skeletal problems, headaches, migraines, chronic Neck & back problems, chronic fatique, scoliosis, ptsd, tmj dysfuction, pain syndromes and low energy, frozen Shoulders, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other conditions. See me for enhanced general health & energy levels, to reduce stress and pain, and to conquer emotional challenges.

ABOUT MY PREGNANCY MASSAGE TREATMENT

If required I will teach you diaphragmatic breathing techniques, mindfulness and other meditation techniques plus additional coping strategies to empower you to better relax and ground yourself during your pregnancy.
