It is a commonly accepted belief that massage is good for us.  But oftentimes it is not understood why there are so many benefits generated by something so fundamental as healing and therapeutic touch.  

Most people use massage for either general relaxation or to address a specific complaint, such as pain or limited range of motion.    Although massage affects the body as a whole, it particularly influences the activity of the musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems.

When you receive a massage, this generally produces a "relaxation response."  The relaxation response is a state in which your heart and breathing rate slow, your blood pressure goes down, your production of stress hormones decreases, and your muscles relax. The relaxation response also seems to increase the available level of serotonin, which is a chemical in the body that positively affects emotions and thoughts.

It is my delight to support changes in the body through massage and help you discover again the sense of ease and flow that is your natural state of well-being.
