Releasing Massage

Releasing Massage, is a method of utilizing massage therapy for emotional releasing to achieve healing.  I operate under the holistic philosophy that pain and disease in the body originate from core beliefs and emotions.
It is essentially like any other massage as far as technique, but with support and guidance in identifying possible blockers in the muscles.
I hold space for you while we work on your painful or “tight” areas, and use reiki where needed.  I guide you in processing the “why” and “where” the “knots” are originating from.
Pressure ranges from light/firm to deep depending on what your muscles need.

FAQs

Q. What is a “release”:
A. Releases during massage can vary from person to person and can even be different every time.
They can look like crying, angry yelling, laughing/giggling, internal flashbacks, emotional flashbacks etc, or non of these.
Often times the first massage session is simply relaxing and bringing body awareness as to where you have chronic holding patterns.

Q. Am I clothed or unclothed?:
A. I use the same draping methods as you would see in any spa.  First and foremost, your comfort is my priorty, if you wish to be clothed you may, however, for optimal benefits, unclothed is best.
Clothed, or unclothed you will be covered with a sheet and light cozy blanket while laying on the massage table.  I only undrape one body part at a time (while NEVER working any area that a bikini or speedo would cover).  YOU are also in control.  If you only wish for an upper back massage, or only neck and feet etc, or if you wish to keep your undergarments on, that is completely your choice.

Q. What type of massage do you practice?

A. I am a certified licensed massage therapist in various states.  In my massages I utilize ALL of my skills from the various types of massage I have studied to create a custom and catered massage to your specific needs in your healing journey.
*scroll to “Credentials” for details on specific modalities.

Q. Will I be required to do much talking?

A. I am only there to support and guide.  I allow you to guide the conversation if any.
I simply prep you beforehand on some key breath techniques, and other prompts I may give you throughout.  After that you can simply relax and “be” allowing your body to respond in the way in needs to.
*For some, talking through the feelings that come up helps them to process.

My Credentials

Past Massage History

My introduction into the working world of massage therapy was at a prestigious resort and spa that attracted many professionaly athletes among its clientelle (thus strengthening my knowledge of the body’s anatomy and functions).
During my time here, I grew a passion for the emotional healing benefits that massage can have.  This pushed me into further educating myself in the different methods of healing and caring for the mind. Over time I began to make the connection that the bodily healing is stronger when the individual can identify and process what emotions are being held in the muscles that are causing pain.  I eventually left the spa industry and started my own practice in Beverly Hills, Ca.

Over the years I have added new skills and techniques to my practice, while maintaining a focus on the healing aspects of massage.
