Sports Massage is a Specialty.
It is focused on performance.
Many different techniques have been used to help athletes work optimally. Just to name a few: friction, stretching, range of motion, effleurage, compression, and deep strokes have been part of a typical routine to help circulation, lymph flow, and enhanced neurological functioning. Massage can be enjoyed before or after an event based on the needs of the athlete.
I like to think that there is an even better way to help sports-oriented people feel and challenge themselves.
Structural Integration which is based on fascia and myofascial relationships is key in allowing the body to release tension, rotations, and restrictions. When I have worked on athletes, young and old alike, I have seen dramatic changes which have increased mobility and allowed more space for the body to lengthen and perform better. Clients are amazed at how this type of work helps where others have not!
In the best 10 series, clients connect to their line. What this means, is that a vector of sorts is felt from their grounding to the top of the head which allows them to move more freely in relationship to gravity. Being in alignment creates better efficiency in rest and in motion! During a 10 Sessions Set, the Structural Integration Therapist starts with the upper body, and then moves to the lower, and then integrates superficially. After that, the work deepens into core and continues to balance and re-educate the athlete to work with more ease. By the last session, well- everything comes together in a new way. Clients feel more energized.

The three areas that most athletes call for a massage visit that I see are:
1. Performance Enhancement- Bringing symmetry, more vitality and balance into the body.
2. Sore Muscles
3. Injury/Restoration/Scar Tissue
Working with the fascia can be extremely beneficial in all three of these areas.

Reiki is probably the most well known Energy Healing method in the US.
The reason for this is that Reiki is fairly easy to get an attunement for each of the first two levels with a week-end class. No previous experience with energy healing is necessary. Over 1 million people in the USA have received this ability transferred from Master Reiki teacher to student, so that they use Reiki on themselves or others as a healing modality. Practitioners of Reiki often feel a deep sense of relaxation and healing. The work is subtle and nourishing.
While I personally enjoy Reiki Treatments, I have found that there are many other schools of energy therapy out there that are quite supportive to the healing process as well. After researching, I decided to attend the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. It is a 4 year college program based in Florida founded on the work of Dr. Barbara Brennan, author of the books, “Hands of Light” and “Light Emerging”. It was there that I studied and eventually taught this amazing transformational work. Because I could see the benefits of Energy Therapy as well as working a program to help the Awakening process, I then studied the advance course for an additional 4 years. I soaked all of it in so that I could share these techniques with others. Brennan Healing Science® is a comprehensive program that teaches students to become compassionate healers to serve others on their path. And now- I like to incorporate this healing modality into my Craniosacral Therapy and Structural Integration sessions. It is a gentle hands-on healing process that has helped thousands of people across the world.
Reiki Energy Healing
In addition to Reiki, Brennan Healing Science®, while I was living in Florida, my friend Joann Rahl, introduced me to the http://www.seraphimblueprint.com. At first I didn’t think that is would be much with all my other training. But I still went, and was pleasantly surprised. It felt wonderful to sit in and receive the energetic initiations. I felt new frequencies opened up that I have added to my healing work through intention.
While this has been my path in studying and implementing energy healing, there are many other schools that are second generation, and are very appropriate to healing what is going on now here on earth.
I will say, that my experience has shown me over and over that we are energy being, with human energy fields. When we can align our auric fields, we can find deeper balance and move through life more effortlessly.
If you have an interest in Energy Healing, please go out and investigate. There is something waiting to help you open up the door.
Blessings,

If you are still looking for chronic pain relief… you have probably already tried many conventional means to no avail.
How about giving yourself a new option with Cranosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) offers a gentle, yet effective method that releases tension deep in the body. Over time, CST’s effects can be expansive and life changing. By listening deeply to the body’s Central Nervous System’s physiological processes through subtle palpation, a CST therapist can find and treat misalignments, chronic pain areas, sore muscles and nerve pain conditions. Craniosacral Therapy has also been known to help with conditions like: Fibromyalgia, MS, migraines, sports injuries, neck and back pain, along with others acquired from trauma based accidents or experiences.
A good article from one of Upledger’s teacher for more information that I recommend in Massage Magazine is: http://www.massagetoday.com/mpacms/mt/article.php?id=13489
I have found that clients who only partially recovered with general massage have found longer lasting pain relief with CST. Just Recently, a new client after about 5 sessions excitedly told me that her body was feeling “great”. I know from her intake that this was a huge shift. The reason for this is that rather than focusing mostly on the muscles, the CST therapist is dialoguing with the internal wisdom of the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues and cerebrospinal fluid. By doing this, the intelligence within can be expressed to promote health and wellbeing.
Pain Relief
The body returns to it inherent self-correcting healing abilities by being supported by healthier fluid dynamics, structural integration and optimal CNS functioning.
If you are looking for something that can help you relax and rest better or on the opposite spectrum create more energy and vitality, this might be your best alternative. Through its balancing effects, clients often walk away feeling refreshed, more grounded, and pain-free.
