"When you finally allow yourself to trust joy and embrace it, you will find you dance with everything" - Emmanuel
Our purpose here on Earth is joy. We feel joy whenever we are connected to what moves us most in our lives, and movement is life.
The symbol most associated with movement and change in nature is the spiral. Wind currents meet in spirals, ocean waves move in spirals, our hearts beat by spirally contracting the heart, our blood even moves in spirals through our blood vessels. I use this spiral motion in my massage to rock the body coaxing the tissues to return to a movement that is in harmony with who you are. Through these massage strokes, you become more conscious of your body and the patterns you are holding within it. The flowing movement allows for the experience of surrender so that you can embrace your true self and let patterns of the past dissolve.
"When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things." - Kahlil Gibran (1883- 1931)
There is research showing that our heart's electromagnetic field is by far the most powerful in the body. It permeates every cell in the body and radiates outside of us 8 to 10 feet. The rest of the body's systems can be pulled into entrainment with the heart's rhythm. When systems entrain, they operate with increased efficiency. This entrainment can be reached by focusing on feelings of appreciation, love, peace, and compassion. I have found that approaching each client consciously in a space of appreciation is just as important as the movement that is created through the massage strokes. Living in appreciation allows you to take responsibility for your life and what you bring forth via your energy. As you begin to listen to your deepest inner knowing and allow your destiny to unfold you dance with life and experience true joy.
I invite you to embrace your body, dance with life, and allow for joy!

Lomilomi massage- Lomilomi is an ancient Hawaiian art that was once passed down through individual families, each family passing down their style and technique to the next generation. It recognizes the connection of the tissues of our bodies with our thoughts, emotions, and spiritual well being. The lomilomi practitioner focuses on the love that is the Source of all that is, and it is this love, or aloha, that does the healing.
Attunement- Attunement is being at one with the Creator. It is a place of stillness, peace, and harmony. The Creator or Source energy is love, and it is all that there is. There is only Source energy and resistance to that energy. It manifests in human form by flowing through the endocrine system, then creating lines of force by which creation of physical form is achieved. The energy work of Attunement involves a no touch approach of working with the endocrine system as well as other body systems to enhance the flow of Source energy through the body.
Aromatherapy, Herbs, and Flower Essences- I blend each client's oil individually for his or her own needs using essential oils, herbs, and flower essences. These substances are holistic and are intended to nourish your body and your emotions in the current state they are in.
Hot Stones- I use hot stones in most sessions to allow the tissues to let go on a much deeper level. While other aspects of the massage put you in a state of bliss, the stones ground you and connect you with the earth.
"Here in this body are the sacred rivers: here are the sun and the moon as well as all the pilgrimage places......I have not encountered another temple as blissful as my own body." - Tibetan poet, Saraha's song of praise
