ASHIATSU
Ashiatsu uses barefoot pressure to engage deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Supported by overhead bars or silks, pressure is applied slowly and with intention, allowing tissue to soften and respond naturally. The work is deliberate, and tailored, creating a sense of depth and spaciousness that feels precise, refined, and profoundly restorative.
I am trained in:

INTRAORAL/BUCCAL FACIAL
An advanced therapeutic treatment that works with the internal and external muscles of the mouth, while addressing the interconnected structures of the face, head, neck, and upper chest. By accessing deeper musculature from inside the mouth, this technique releases tension patterns that cannot be reached externally. The result is improved jaw mobility, reduced clenching, restored structural balance, and natural contour refinement. A precise approach to functional relief and elevated facial sculpting.

I am Certified in Intraoral Massage
CUPPING
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic technique that uses suction to lift and decompress soft tissue, promoting space and mobility within the muscles and fascia. This gentle yet effective method enhances circulation, releases tension, and provides myofascial release, supporting both structural alignment and overall relaxation.
ABDOMINAL THERAPY
Abdominal Therapy supports the alignment of the pelvis and abdominal organs. By addressing tension and restrictions in this area, it promotes optimal function of the digestive system and pelvic floor. This therapy can be particularly beneficial for digestive concerns, pelvic floor dysfunction, and overall core balance, helping restore comfort, mobility, and structural harmony.

Light therapy works by boosting cellular energy to encourage and enhance the body’s natural healing abilities, increases circulation and accelerates tissue repair. Bonus: it decreases cortisol and increases serotonin. ​
