Carmichael, CA 95608
My clients are women who suffer from chronic aches and pain which impact the way they move through life. I help them feel good in their body so they can move on with their lives as they imagine them. They are looking for results and are willing to follow the program I give them and follow suggestions to reach their goal. They change movement habits in order to sustain the progress they have made, and are then able to enjoy their new pain-free freedom and create the life they want. I also work with Parkinson's patients to sustain and increase mobility.

My clients come to me for various reasons. Some come for relaxation, most come seeking pain relief. Still, many are looking for a qualified practitioner specifically to help with reducing inflammation and discomfort after undergoing cosmetic surgery. More recently, I have been seeing plenty of doctor-referred clients dealing with autoimmune disorders or cancer. Whatever the reason they come, they are looking to get results in achieving their individual goals.

My work is very holistic in nature and each treatment is customized according to what your body is needing. I will address specific areas of concern while also encouraging the vital health and movement of all of your body systems including the central nervous system, circulatory system, organs, muscles, bones and fascia. In this way many health issues, chronic pain, old injuries, underlying stress and patterns of disease are naturally addressed. Individuals experience long sought relief from pain and come away feeling more deeply restored as the work allows the body a re-set or new way of being.

You'er in pain, you've been to several different therapists with no luck. Even the MD finds nothing wrong - no breaks, no tears, no pathology. It's frustrating and annoying to live with this. You might be able to trace the pain to something that happened years ago - an accident, a fall, even surgery. Ever since then something has not been quite right. And now you're ready to get it taken care of.

I specialize in muscle release and alignment, pain management, stretching utilizing passive and active range of motion facilitation. Active stretching helps my clients lengthen, strengthen, and condition their muscular fascia restoring flexibility. I also incorporate deep tissue, strain counterstrain, and myoskeletal therapy to release scar tissue in surrounding joints and areas difficult to release with common stretching. These techniques help realign muscle fibers for greater mobility and stability.

Who can practice massage in California?
Most states have licensing requirements that must be met before a practitioner (a 'masseuse' or 'masseur') can use the title 'Massage Therapist', and some states require a license to practice any form of massage. Licensed Massage Therapists in California have obtained the highest level of authentication. They must complete academic coursework in anatomy and physiology, as well as on the application of massage and bodywork, business and ethics, and specialized massage techniques. The California LMT must then pass a certification exam.

What are the benefits of California massage?
Clients use massage in California because it relieves pain from muscle aches and sprains, muscle injuries and other causes of pain. It reduces stress and helps clients relax, and can decrease feelings of anxiety and depression by stimulating the release of endorphins and serotonin. Massage therapy in California can help prevent fibrosis or scar tissue, increase the flow of lymph, and improve sleep. California massage therapy can help rehabilitate sports injuries.

How does massage work?
Massage involves working and acting on the body using pressure from the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, or feet of the massage therapist. The California massage therapist focuses on muscles, tendons, ligaments, myofacia, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system.
