The process of massage is as complex as each individual who experiences it. Communication is a critical component in tailoring a massage session to be the most effective possible. I have found that in many cases, even what may seem to be an insignificant or inconsequential comment by a client can be the most important information. The human body is an incredibly complex organism and is yet to be fully understood. That said, it is always we who have potentially the greatest insight into ourselves. We are the ones to allow the change. A therapist facilitates, assists. Massage makes us more aware of our own body and therefore enables a greater understanding and capability to deal with the accumulated stress that will certainly manifest over the course of our lives.
It is my belief that to create a better state of health, one should be better informed and have greater self awareness. To this end I attempt to inform as I can, as to the mechanisms at play in the mind/body, and how massage affects those mechanisms. An awareness and knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and a positive outlook are a few things that I strive to incorporate into my sessions. Of course, there are times when you just want to forget it all and just relax. You choose; It's your session.
