It’s my honor to show you just how effective massage can be: physically, mentally and emotionally. Consulting your medical history and listening to your feedback are just two of the ways I work to customize your massage. Whether you need 90 minutes of relaxation, or you’re an athlete with clear goals to meet, I can help you feel better, play harder and recover easier.

Do you have questions about the differences between Swedish and deep tissue massage; how reflexology works; the benefits of Chinese cupping therapy; whether or not massage is safe during pregnancy; what essential oils are and why I use them in my sessions? Maybe you’ve never had a massage—or you’ve had a negative experience before—and want to know what a typical session with me is like? Don’t hesitate to call me! I’m happy to answer your questions and address your concerns.

Services offered

Sarga Barefoot Massage-

Sarga Bodywork is a barefoot massage method that incorporates the use of an aerial silk fastened to the massage table to deliver slow, deep, myofascial techniques. The silk strap is used for stability and adds tensional and gravitational force by pulling up on the strap while applying downward pressure. The tensional force is then transferred painlessly to the client’s body using the broad surface of the foot to facilitate less restriction and more ease and relaxation to your body.

Swedish Massage - a method of massage based on knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology. Depending on your needs and your level of comfort, you can expect slow or vigorous strokes, always in the direction of blood returning to the heart, used to warm up the muscles, release tension and gradually break down adhered tissues.

Deep Tissue Massage - a form of Swedish massage with movements aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscles, called connective tissue. Generally more in-depth and intense than traditional Swedish massage, deep, focused strokes are used to relieve chronic muscle tension and adhesions, as well as their associated pain.

Pre and Post-natal Massage (with Body Cushion Positioning Pillows) - based on Swedish massage, but with special attention and care for the prenatal and postnatal condition. Attentive strokes are used to increase lymph circulation and blood flow, and to relieve symptoms such as back, neck and joint pain, swelling, morning sickness and headaches. Body pillows help keep you comfortable and supported.

Hot Stone Massage - another form of Swedish massage that incorporates the use of smooth, hot stones to help warm up tight muscle tissue. Strategic use and placement of the stones allows for deeper muscle work in less time.

Reflexology - rather than manipulating the tissues, as in a massage, reflexology works by applying pressure to reflex zones in your feet, hands and outer ears to affect and benefit your entire body. Benefits include improved circulation and lymphatic drainage, relaxation and stress relief.

Chinese Cupping Therapy - an ancient therapy method. Heat is used to create suction in specially designed cups that are carefully and strategically placed on your body. The cups act as the inverse of massage; gently pulling the skin, muscles and other tissues upwards over targeted areas. This method of therapy is effective in breaking up scar tissue in the muscles, improving circulation and lymph flow, and treating pain on a deep, penetrative level (among other symptoms and maladies.)

Kinesiology Tape (KT Tape) Application - professional application of KT TAPE (an elastic sports and fitness tape) for relief and support of tennis elbow, shin splints, back pain, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and numerous other injuries. If you’re training for a race, recovering from an injury or just trying to make it through a day of work on your feet, KT TAPE—when applied correctly—can sustain your muscles and joints and help you heal.
