Massage Therapy

60, 75 and 90 minute options to soothe your body

Massage Therapy in Lake Como FL

I’ve been offering massage therapy in Gainesville since 2012 when I completed massage therapy training at the Florida School of Massage. My training consisted of Swedish massage, Deep Connective Tissue, Reflexology, Polarity Therapy, Neuromuscular Triggerpoint Therapy, Sports massage, along with various Hydrotherapy and Aromatherapy methods.

I enjoy incorporating a combination of bodywork techniques to aide in the body’s healing process. By working with the muscular structure and soft tissues of the body applying fixed or movable pressure, gliding strokes, vibration, rocking, friction, kneading, compression, stretching and traction. I primarily like to use my hands, forearms, and elbows and I include an option of adding heat/ice to specific areas of tension. I can also apply hot stones/warm compresses, including the option of heat on the massage table. A variety of Aromatherapy options are also available in each session at no extra charge.

Let's talk about you

Let's discuss your massage needs. I'm always happy to hear from you.

Swedish Massage Therapy in Lake Como FL

The most commonly recognized technique and the basis for most other techniques. Uses long gliding strokes, deep kneading, small friction-type motions, light tapping, vibration and joint manipulation to reduce muscle fatigue and induce relaxation.

Hot Stone Massage Therapy in Lake Como FL

Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. The hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.

Deep Connective Tissue Massage

DCT aims to affect the various layers of fascia that support and separate all muscle tissue. Long deep strokes assist hyper toned muscles to fully extend and relax, thus allowing the body to return to its own natural alignment.

Neuromuscular Therapy

NMT is an approach to pain intervention using advanced concepts in the art of pressure therapy. Pressure properly applied to myofascial trigger points or “knots” interrupts pain signals to the spinal cord, reduces the intensity of nerve activity in the tissue, and mechanically moves out toxic irritants accumulated at nerve receptor sites.
