Massage Techniques
Most sessions feature a variety of techniques to best address your needs and desired outcomes. I draw from the following:
- Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy
- Swedish / Circulatory
- Deep tissue
- Sports Massage
- Basic Lomi Lomi
- Injury treatment
- Excellent footwork
- A little of this and a little of that!
I'm also available to do Chair Massage / Seated Massage at your workplace, event or party. Call me to discuss details.
I have a particular fondness for Pregnant and Postpartum Massage. I offer a special package deal to my pregnant clients. Ask me for details. Massage makes a great baby shower gift! Please read my article on pregnancy massage.
For those of you new to massage, you may have questions about what it’s like. The most frequently asked question is “do I take my clothes off?” This is a decision I leave to you. I want you to be comfortable. I am able to do a massage while the client is fully dressed and if that is your preference, I like to honor that. Most clients feel comfortable undressing because they are under a sheet with only the body part I’m working on brought out from under the sheet. Some clients leave their undergarments on and that is also your decision. If you have any questions about this or anything else, please feel free to ask. Massage while the client is undressed and not under a sheet is not allowed by the City of La Cañada Flintridge. To be clear, the massage therapy I provide is non-sexual in nature. Any clients with sexually-oriented intentions are not welcome.
