I am able to transfer my massage knowledge to my Chair Techniques quite effectively.
You can find me doing chair massage at the office (170 east second ave suite 3 in Chico) many mornings.
Feel free to stop in!!
Appointments available daily at The Office (see map)
Please note: I will make house calls for my established clients.
Give me a call if you are suffering from Carpal Tunnel, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Old injuries,
or other Chronic Pain for a FREE CONSULTATION!
I have seen many clients who have lived with chronic pain and have been able to help them significantly!!!
As your therapist, you will experience that I really care about my clients, and connect with each individually. I begin the massage by listening to what is going on at the time, as I feel where the tension and energy is being held. I use this personal knowledge in combination with my technical knowledge from the study of anatomy and physiology, and of various techniques in order to intuit the correct treatment for this day, hour, and minute. I adjust as I go with guidance from the subtle cues of body/energy language as well as verbal direction given by the client in order to give the most effective and therapeutic massage possible.
FEES: $50 per hour plus $20 for each aditional half hour.
There will be an extra charge of $10 for the use of hot stones and/or for home visits.
Gift Certificates are available.
I take payment in the form of CASH, CHECK,or MONEY ORDER. (Payment from HSA's ok.)

My Touch.
Connection. I Allow energy to flow from the heavens and the earth through my hands. I am connected to myself.
Presence. I am present; in this moment, with this person/situation. I cultivate awareness.
Intent. I define my intention. I ask for the highest good to come of this experience. I ask for peace and healing.
Flow. I create a rhythm that soothes and calms. All movements flow into the next. As one movement ends another begins.
Contact. I feel my hands touch the body. I feel the skin and the contours of the body structures beneath. I am aware of the energy in my fingers and the connection to the person's energy field.
Experience. I experience what is. My mind is free of judgment. I am fearless. |
