Intra-oral Massage
Our mouth is extraordinary in many ways. We use it to eat, talk, express our emotions, to counter stress. While we can run and use our arms, our real defense is our mouth and our teeth. When we get into fight or flight response due to stress, we clench our jaw and grind our teeth to show our strength and weapon (think of a cat rounding its back and showing its teeth) This massage targets tension within the jaw, neck and face. It is beneficial to reduce grinding, Trigger points within the musculature and possibility to improve malocclusion.
This massage is tailored to everybodys individual needs for the particular session. All techniques that I learned and learn are used to reach the best possible outcome fir the session - treating muscle tension, joint flexibility and mobility, Triggerpoints, fascial restrictions while adressing other stress factors during the session as well.
If you are unsure what massage to pick, this will be your best choice.
This massage targets reducing stress levels. Generally a full body approach, longer strokes can assist to reduce the affects of the sympathetic nervous system.
Often associated with firm pressure, deep tissue massage targets the deeper lying tissues and muscles. Firm pressure is not always necessary or appropriate (think Princess on the pea) to achieve a release or reach those tissues. However, someone may require a firmer pressure to find a release, depending on personal physique, condition or even personal preference. Most important is to be able to breathe through all the pressure.

Myofascial Release
Fascia ' we re only starting to understand this tissue within our body. It helps to keep our body together, stabilize muscles, bones, joints and organs. Yet it also holds our stress, tension and trauma.
Training after the school of John Barnes, fascial release takes time, often continuous sessions. It's a slow approach with long holds until the fascia starts to release.
