...Relax... Restore...Awaken...

Restorative Massage & Bodywork specializes in an integrative, therapeutic approach to massage and bodywork. Sessions combine craniosacral therapy with therapeutic bodywork to promote the health and healing of the body-mind-spirit from the inside-out. This work aims to unlock, re-pattern, and restore the body from pain resulting from stress, injury, illness, overuse, repetitive use, trauma, and emotional holding patterns.

The body and mind relax through an overload of sensory input to the central nervous system from the touch experience. The parasympathetic nervous system is engaged and mediates the body's stress response allowing it to rest. Tight and contracted muscles relax along with many other benefits including – reduced feelings of stress, tension, anxiety, and depression – deeper, fuller breathing – an enhanced energy level – and stimulation to the digestive system.

The work increases the circulation of blood and lymph fluids that brings a fresh supply of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to your muscles while flushing out toxins and boosting the immune system. The work relieves muscle tension and soreness, breaks-down scar tissue, reduces or eliminates knots or tight bands in the muscle tissue, increases flexibility, increases range of motion of joints, and gets you moving more freely in your body.

When the body relaxes and restores, so too does the mind. As the soft tissues release and become free from pain, the mind and spirit can awaken and expand. Sessions help to restore balance to the body-mind-spirit relationship, supporting each in optimal health. The work helps bring your awareness into your body to support your healing process. Understanding the causes of pain can lead you to a greater sense of yourself. Awaken to your essence by connecting with your body.
