Wellness Coaches get you to the next level (just like a sports coach).
Athletes don't become great just by skill alone but with a coach that focuses their practice to enhance their innate talents.
Wellness Coaching helps you define and work toward your optimal wellness by means of collaborative thinking, drawing from past experience and defining future goals (Mayo Clinic).
Areas for coaching include help with:
Mind- settimg career and life goals and exploring methods to achieve them
Body- focusing nutrition goals, workout goals, flexibility goals
Spirit- developing social goals, emotional goals, relaxation/centering goals
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
I worl in conjunction with your physician or physical therapist prepare your muscles pre-surgery or to get you back to optimal funtioning after surgery. Shoulder, knee, and hip areas just to name a few.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane.
Stretching and toning are two types of classes I offer. 30-45 minutes per day can have trigger amazing changes.
I can come to your office and give wellness coaching help, demonstate proper techniques for stretching and exercise, perform individual chair massages, or instruct on various topics related to health.
