Archive for the ‘How to get the most from your massage’ Category

Undoubtedly, the most common complaint that I hear from new clients is that their previous massage therapist went too deep and even that their sessions were painful. I never want you to experience pain on my massage table, period.

I always aim to avoid pain by listening and responding to your words and to the movements of your breath and body. In my therapeutic massage sessions I guide my clients in effective breathing so that they can get the fullest benefit from their sessions. However, the best indicator a massage therapist ever has of your comfort is your word. Please don’t be shy to speak up about what pressure is right for you. We love that!

Be well,

Hello massage-lovin’ peoples!

I wanted to give you heads up on something that I’m going to be doing.  Starting now I’m going to be publishing helpful posts for you on various wellness related topics. The types of things I’ll be posting will be focused on and intended to improve your life in some way.  They may not always have anything to do with massage.  But rather they may often simply fall into the broader category of life balance and wellness.

One such topic that I’ll be starting that is related to massage is a series of posts on “How to get the most from your massage“.  If, when you read any of these posts, you find that something is unclear or you have a question (or you just want to chide me about a typo), please… do leave me a comment.  I am notified with these comments and I will respond.

In fact, I am thrilled to receive your comments because it shows me that someone out there is listening.  And it creates a conversation among everyone who wishes to participate, which is a whole lot more fun than just hearing myself think.

So keep an eye out for the upcoming series of posts titled “How to get the most from your massage“.  If you want to be sure that you get to read them all (they’ll be good-I promise) you may subscribe to my email newsletter.
