I tailor each massage to the specific needs of each client. The intention with which a massage is given or how the technique is applied will influence the outcome. Each technique is applied in a specific way to elicit a particular response. A well trained Massage Therapist can adapt the treatment, stroke pressure, and movement according to the client’s condition and their desired results. Knowledge and experience are prerequisites to judge a client’s needs and adjust each massage session accordingly.

Benefits of CBD Oil
One of the primary benefits of using CBD oil is its ability to relieve pain and inflammation. CBD oil interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body, which helps to regulate pain and discomfort. Studies have shown that CBD can be effective in helping clients with chronic pain. CBD also interacts with the receptors in the brain that are responsible for regulating mood and emotions, helping to promote a decrease in stress and anxiety. CBD has also been shown to promote improved sleep. Unlike THC, the main compound found in marijuana, CBD is non-psychoactive and has no mind-altering effects, making it safe and effective for all ages.
Benefits of Essential Oils
Aromatherapy massage combines the therapeutic properties of essential oils with the benefits of manual therapy. Specific essential oils are chosen based on their therapeutic properties and are blended with a carrier oil and used in massage to enhance relaxation, alleviate stress, and address specific physical or emotional concerns. The combination of the aromatic compounds of the oils and the physical touch of the massage offers both immediate and long-term benefits.
Benefits of Cupping
Cupping (or vacuum) therapy is an ancient healing method that may ease back pain, neck pain, headaches and other issues. It uses suction to pull on your skin and increase blood flow to the affected area. The suction involved in cupping helps to separate and stretch layers of connective tissue, helping to relieve adhesions. Static (where the cups and body remain still) and active (where the cups and/or body are moving) cupping can be employed to help reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation, increase blood flow, decrease muscle tightness, and improve range of motion.
