PRIVATE YOGA LESSONS
Large studio classes and traditional yoga postures can be scary and potentially dangerous for a body with special considerations or injuries. Whether you have no movement background or seek to refine your preexisting practice, private lessons allow you the time and space to develop a personalized practice based on your individual strengths, goals and needs. These sessions will help you investigate your own unique postural conditions and together develop a personal strategy to challenge and encourage you and your body into a healthier, upright position using some traditional asana and a few more creative strength-based yoga movements. Much of the postural work is inspired by a combination of the Ashtanga, Iyengar and Synergy yoga systems. SELF MASSAGE WITH A BALL Just as often as people find they would stretch but they don’t know how, I am convinced people would massage themselves more if they knew how to approach it. Learn how to be your own massage therapist by utilizing easy tools at your disposal. By simply using your body, a rubber ball, and gravity, you can discover and target muscular pain or trigger points in your tissue yourself, which is an extremely liberating experience. This information can be conveyed as part of a private yoga lesson or as a small private workshop for you and people you care about. PARTNER MASSAGE LESSONS Using principles from basic Thai massage, I can teach you simple and sustainable ways to massage another person, be it your romantic partner, family member, or friend. Thai massage takes place clothed on the floor, so you must be capable of lying, sitting, kneeling or lunging on the floor, as well as taking weight on your hands and knees. If those prerequisites inhibit you, other table massage techniques can be taught that translate easily to working on a bed at home. |

INTEGRATIVE THAI MASSAGE Taking place on a pad on the floor, the client remains fully clothed and passive while the therapist manipulates their body positions into "lazy man's yoga" poses and applies compression, and gentle stretching to promote flexibility, circulation, joint health, etc. The therapist applies leverage with feet, knees, shins, elbows and combining traditional Thai techniques with western Myofascial and Orthopedic concepts. This massage is best when used to relax and restore the body's equilibrium, increase range of motion, acupressure, and full body treatments. PRENATAL MASSAGE Pregnancy massage focuses on addressing the special needs of expecting women. Specially-supportive side-lying and supine postures are used to prevent putting pressure on the abdomen. Massage will be more relaxing than therapeutic, aimed at alleviating the pressure of the low back and hips. Thai massage is ideal for pregnant women and therefore my choice, although table prenatal is available on request. MASSAGE FOR MUSICIANS I have worked with many types of musicians over the course of my career, first massaging performing musical artists at music festivals and now with classical musicians at Avaloch Farm Music Institute. Many musicians end up with nerve impingement and pain, repetitive strain injuries, and postural misalignments from years of molding their body to their instruments. I offer pre-show “tune-ups” for musicians before they perform, regularly scheduled maintenance to prevent repetitive stress injuries, and therapeutic massage for the treatment of injuries that come with the life of traveling and performing. |

Reiki is a Japanese healing modality wherein the therapist channels energy into the client using light touch or "laying on hands" to activate the body's parasympathetic nervous system and therefore amplify the natural healing process. Reiki treatments utilize supported relaxation so that the client can access levels of emotional and physical wellbeing that can be difficult if not impossible to reach during the chaos of daily life. Treatments can be done in conjunction with massage or as stand-alone energy sessions.
