Services
Myofascial Release
This specialized technique targets the connective tissue surrounding muscles to alleviate chronic pain and restore mobility. By applying sustained pressure to fascial restrictions, this therapy improves range of motion and reduces inflammation. Clients benefit from enhanced circulation and nervous system regulation, with particular effectiveness for conditions like fibromyalgia and TMJ disorders.
Structural Integration
A systematic approach to realigning the body through deep tissue manipulation and movement education. This method addresses postural imbalances by working with the body's fascial network over multiple sessions. Benefits include improved breathing mechanics, reduced chronic pain, and enhanced athletic performance through better biomechanical efficiency.
Prenatal Massage
Gentle, specialized treatment designed to address the physical changes during pregnancy. This therapy focuses on common discomforts like lower back pain and swelling while promoting relaxation. Using side-lying positioning and modified techniques, it helps maintain maternal comfort and prepares the body for labor through improved circulation and muscle balance.
Medical Massage
Targeted treatment for specific medical conditions requiring precise anatomical knowledge and specialized techniques. Effective for rehabilitation from injuries and managing chronic conditions like sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome. Combines deep tissue work with functional assessments to address both symptoms and underlying muscular imbalances.
Sports Massage
Performance-focused treatment tailored to athletes' needs before, during, and after training. Emphasizes injury prevention and recovery through techniques like active release and myofascial unwinding. Enhances athletic performance by improving flexibility, reducing muscle fatigue, and accelerating recovery between training sessions.

Questions
What specific conditions can myofascial release treat effectively?
Myofascial release effectively treats chronic neck/back pain, fibromyalgia, TMJ disorders, sciatica, and post-surgical scar tissue issues through targeted fascial manipulation.
Is myofascial therapy suitable for pregnant women?
Yes, we offer prenatal massage adaptations that safely address pregnancy-related discomforts like lower back pain while maintaining proper body positioning and pressure application.
How does structural integration differ from regular massage?
Structural integration works systematically on the body's connective tissue network over multiple sessions to create lasting postural changes and improved biomechanics, unlike single-session relaxation massages.
Do you accept health insurance for treatment sessions?
We do not accept medical insurance but provide documentation for potential out-of-network reimbursement, allowing greater flexibility in personalized treatment planning.
What should I expect during my first treatment session?
Your initial visit includes a postural assessment, movement evaluation, and customized treatment addressing your specific concerns through a combination of manual techniques.
How often should I schedule maintenance massage sessions?
Recommended frequency varies based on individual needs, typically starting with bi-weekly sessions for acute issues and transitioning to monthly maintenance for ongoing wellness.

I have been seeing Yasmin since April 2017 to address muscle spasm issues that I have been experiencing post-childbirth. These spams were affecting my daily mobility. Yasmin was able to assess all the issues that was causing me great discomfort and she has been working on my muscles since then. Yasmin is always ready to explain about the different muscles in your body and how the tissues and muscles are all connected. She educates you through this process. She is invested in helping out her patients. I have experienced significant changes since April. She is very quick to address areas of discomfort

Critical:Communication,Professionalism
Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the services as the owner struggles to communicate via email and schedule sessions. She is unprofessional and rude via email. There are several other options for these services who are able to balance communication as well as offering professional interactions. Highly suggest going elsewhere.

I echo the sentiments of another reviewer who said Yasmin changes the narrative to you can and you will get better. Unlike most practitioners Yasmin wants to know everything about your history and what you feel because her goal is to the find the root problem not just treat symptoms. I am always impressed by her knowledge, methodology, and results. Thank you Yasmin for your continued work =)

I have suffered from TMJ for years and eventually my jaw completely dislocated from it's socket. On our first visit Yasmin was able to get my jaw realigned and in place (without any pain) and told me exactly what was wrong and what needed to be done. I have since seen her multiple times and every time she is able to successfully address any new symptoms and release pain almost instantly. I am able to eat with no pain, I no long have to wear a night guard, she has helped with chest tightness and upper neck/back pain and even opened up my sinuses. She is an actual miracle worker and I would highly

Yasmin restored my hope after being treated by a series of incompetent, dismissive doctors for my herniated disk injury. I was living in constant pain. Various orthopedist told me that I needed surgery/ cortisone shots/ that would never heal. Yasmin completely switched the narrative to "you will definitely get better!". Her calm reassurance and her confidence in my bodys ability to heal itself was my first step towards towards complete recovery. Her work is powerful and empowering. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive and passionate about her work. I continue to go to her for minor treatments

I came to Yasmin with a very complicated Musculoskeletal post op issue as I was trying to adjust myself on the table due to severe discomfort she quickly got aggravated and dismissed me from the session although I traveled about an hour just to get to the facility . She Barely even took The chance to get to know me or fully assess me . She emphasized that I had bad energy and basically told me off although I was very calm and compliant while being under severe pain and discomfort. In my professional opinion I thought she was pretty rude, Uncompassionate and lacked patience . Although This
