Welcome to Sublime Slowness - a space I have created for you to pause, slow down and reconnect to your body in our fast-paced world.
I approach the body with deep respect and admiration for its diversity and the stories it holds. Every body, in all its unique shapes, sizes, and histories, deserves attention, care, and celebration.
My work focuses on relieving pain and discomfort through targeted soft tissue manipulation, while guiding you into a state of deep relaxation. I firmly believe that massage can offer profound benefits to your physical and emotional health beyond what is considered wellness and self care.
This is your space to let go, to unwind, and to embrace the beauty of sublime slowness.
Remedial massage is a type of therapeutic massage aimed at addressing specific muscular issues, injuries, and conditions using a variety of specialized techniques tailored to the individual’s needs. These techniques may include trigger point therapy to release tight knots, deep tissue massage to break down muscle adhesions and improve blood flow, and assisted stretching to enhance flexibility and range of motion. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) can also be incorporated to facilitate muscle activation and improve neuromuscular efficiency. By combining these methods, remedial massage can help to relieve pain, restore normal movement, and support the body’s natural recovery process.
Relaxation massage is a therapeutic massage technique focused on promoting deep relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being. Using flowing, slower-paced strokes, this type of massage helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s 'rest and digest' functions. By calming the nervous system, relaxation massage can lower heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and encourage the body to shift into a state of deep rest and restoration. This process not only alleviates physical tension but can also promote mental clarity and emotional balance. Regular relaxation massage can be a powerful tool in managing stress, improving sleep quality, and supporting long-term health and vitality.
Abdominal Scar Release
This method combines breath assessment, massage, and myofascial techniques to create space and ease in the abdominal area, helping to mobilize scar tissue and improve the flexibility of surrounding tissues. The breath can help to gently mobilize scar tissue from the inside, while the hands-on techniques are applied to both the scar tissue and the surrounding abdominal area, addressing adhesions and tension to improve comfort and mobility. This approach is beneficial for both new and old scars, and can be particularly helpful for those living with the effects of C-sections, hysterectomy, laparoscopic surgery, or appendix scars. It may also provide relief from chronic pain conditions like endometriosis, supporting greater ease, flexibility, and overall comfort
