Massage Modalities
I provide many services and modalities. More than just your traditional massage, I provide methods from stress relief fitness and accident recovery. Services can be provided either at your location or home, or at one of my convenient therapy rooms. I provide services to companies and individuals alike to provide a healing and preventative touch.
This ancient practice of massage from different families throughout the islands clears the body with loving hands, and intentions of healing. Applying medium to deep pressure from the palms, forearms, and elbows breaking down stagnation from the muscles and releasing of excess energy. Allow a connection of energy from one to another to flow through your physical body to be rejuvenated.

Release techniques (Fascia Adhesion Scar Tissue Release) for restriction break down in deep tissues. Recover from training, injures, and overused muscles.
When relaxation and subtle stress reduction are your goals, this massage will refresh you. Improving blood circulation with soft to medium pressure. Movements to soften the muscles like kneading and tapotement. Applying cross-fiber friction to adhesion in fatigued muscles. Enjoy gentle massage for tired muscles, while relaxing stressed and overused areas.
