Mellow Manatee Wellness

I have been a massage therapist since 2010.  Since then I've accrued knowledge of various bodywork techniques that I incorporate into my services.

​

• Trauma informed touch- Through my own research and extra training I approach every client with an understanding that everyone has a history of touch that is both good and bad. With the techniques I have learned I strive to help my clients feel safe and empowered to say, "no." When I say "custom massage" I mean exactly that. They are in charge of everything from temperature, to music, to pressure.

• Migraine and TMJD relief- I've developed my own protocols for helping my clients with these issues including intra-oral massage and addressing neck muscles that are often overlooked.

• Myofascial unwinding- a technique that releases bound up connective tissue, or fascia, using gentle movements and rocking motions.

• Polarity therapy- an energy work technique that balances the magnetic field of the body and  promotes deep relaxation.

• Reflexology- a technique that focuses on specific points on the feet that correlate to places on the rest of the body.

• Residual Strain Therapy- while similar to Myofascial unwinding, this modality uses more stagnant pressure to unbind your fascia.

• Deep tissue- many clients ask for deeper pressure which is done including various techniques.

• Assisted stretching- perfect for after a sporting event.  Your muscles are able to get a deeper stretch with a trained professional.

• Thai Massage- I've learned this technique in Thailand as well as in the US. This technique involves stretching, compressions, and both therapist and client are fully clothed.

When I'm not helping you feel better, I'm often found on a boat fishing or traveling around the world.
