Services

Somatic Massage

This therapeutic approach combines deep tissue work with mind-body connection techniques to release chronic tension patterns. By integrating muscle testing and intuitive touch, we address both physical discomfort and emotional stress stored in the body. Sessions promote improved posture, pain relief, and enhanced body awareness through hands-on manipulation of soft tissues.

Intuitive Bodywork

Customized sessions that follow the body's natural wisdom to identify areas needing attention. Using gentle listening touch, we work with your nervous system to release restrictions and restore balance. This approach combines structural integration with energy work to improve mobility and emotional well-being through targeted therapeutic interventions.

Reiki Energy Work

Complementary energy therapy that promotes deep relaxation and stress reduction through gentle hand placements. This Japanese technique supports the body's natural healing processes while balancing energy flow. Sessions help alleviate emotional blockages and physical discomfort by addressing energetic imbalances in the body's meridian system.

Neuromuscular Therapy

Specialized treatment targeting soft tissue restrictions that cause chronic pain patterns. Through precise pressure application, we release trigger points and improve blood circulation to affected areas. This science-based approach addresses postural distortions and biomechanical dysfunction by correcting muscle imbalances and nerve compression points.

Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle manual therapy focusing on the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By releasing tension in the craniosacral system, we alleviate migraines, neck pain, and stress-related conditions. This subtle yet powerful technique enhances central nervous system function through light touch and rhythmic palpation.

Questions

What makes somatic massage different from regular massage?

Somatic massage focuses on body awareness and releasing chronic tension patterns through mind-body connection techniques, rather than just providing temporary relaxation.

How does intuitive bodywork actually work?

Using gentle listening touch, we follow your body's natural wisdom to identify restrictions and release stored tension through targeted therapeutic interventions.

What should I expect during my first session?

Your session begins with a brief consultation followed by customized bodywork addressing your specific needs, combining multiple therapeutic techniques for optimal results.

Do you accept insurance for massage therapy?

We currently operate as a self-pay service, but provide documentation you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

How often should I get massage therapy?

For chronic pain, weekly sessions are recommended initially, then frequency can be reduced as improvements are sustained through your body's natural healing processes.

Can you help with specific injuries or conditions?

Our neuromuscular therapy and structural integration techniques effectively address common issues like back pain, headaches, and sports injuries through targeted soft tissue manipulation.

This is definitely one of if not THE BEST massage I've ever had. I left the massage feeling like a different person. My mood and energy was overly stimulated from a high level of stress and Beverly brought me back to the present. I'm looking forward to my next visit. She has earned a lifetime client.

Beverly is so in tune with the body!! I have experienced many different therapists all over- hotel del Coronado, Scottsdale AZ., Four Season's, Bahamas, etc. Beverly takes the time to feel your energy and reconnect your mind, body and spirit.

Have been having issues with my feet and asked Beverly for her opinion. I booked appointment and she showed me how to manage and treat my plantar fasciitis. I walked out feeling great and will follow her advice.

I tried to call 3 times but there was no answer. I ended up booking online at around noon, and had my order confirmation sent. she text me later that evening at 7pm to say she doesnt have that time available and she should have blocked out the entire day! It was too late at that point to make an appointment someplace else. Not very courteous or professional.
