Anyone that knows Tara can speak to her calming energy - she has a way of relaxing everyone in her path. I am grateful for her energetic and healing hands and look forward to my next session" -A.C.
Therapeutic Treatment
This treatment is beneficial for relieving daily muscular tension and decreasing pain, especially headaches and Migraines. Generally, firm to moderate pressure is used in this type of treatment but can be adapted to a more gentle style if your body is in acute pain. Most Deep Tissue treatments focus on releasing trigger points, specific muscular tension patterns, and pain reactions due to overuse or injury. Arnica Cream and a Healing Balm may be used to aid in decreasing inflammation and pain.
Relax and Rejuvenate Treatment
This treatment is beneficial for relieving daily stress, grounding you back in your body and focusing on calming down an overactive nervous system. Generally, light to moderate pressure is used in this type of treatment depending on your sensitivity. More broad, sweeping movements of Swedish Massage Therapy are used that focus on circulating the blood, flushing toxins, and rejuvenating your energy system.
How I Start the Session
Every session I spend time checking with you to find out what is going on in your life and how it's affecting your body and energy level. From there we can both evaluate what tension areas need the most focus and how to approach the treatment. Some days you may need a more therapeutic treatment and other days you may just want to relax with a gentle massage. The price does not differ so we can decide the day of your treatment what you would like.
To start your treatment, whether it be therapeutic or relaxation, I spend a few minutes burning Sage gently over you, and then use a polarity hand placement from your head to your feet while directing your breathing pattern. This only takes about 5 minutes, but I find it very important for balancing the flow of energy. It also helps ground you in your body and calms your nervous system helping you relax as I start the treatment. *You can always choose to decline this part of the treatment. I will check in at the beginning to see what you would prefer.
I look forward to working with you!
