Therapies

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE reduces tension with the use of relaxing strokes and stretches that increase circulation, bringing nutrition to the cells and releasing toxins. Deeper pressure is used to smooth away tight areas, lengthening and relaxing the connective tissue, reducing stress and relieving pain.

REFLEXOLOGY uses pressure points on the feet and hands to relieve pain and stress through the entire body, leaving you feeling uplifted and rejuvenated.

MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE uses gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to stimulate the lymphatic vessels to carry vital immune system fluid through the body, and remove waste. It helps the body to heal quickly from injuries, surgical trauma, and edema. This modality renews and detoxifies the body.

THAI YOGA MASSAGE harmonizes the energetic body with acupuncture points as you breathe and relax into assisted yoga stretches, enhancing vitality and clearing and calming the mind and body.

BREEMA® BODYWORK uses mindful rhythmic movements, gentle stretches, and the natural, relaxed weight of the body to actively support the recipient to experience vibrant health, vitality, and inner harmony.

What to expect

Expect a comfortable, clean, professional office where privacy and confidentiality are maintained. At your first appointment, you will be asked to fill out a client intake form, and we will both discuss your health history and plan an appropriate treatment.

You can be fully clothed while you are receiving massage, or you may undress to your comfort level and cover yourself with a sheet and a blanket. You will be asked for feedback about how the massage is feeling and you can always request more or less pressure, to adjust to your comfort level. Whatever technique is being used, your comfort is a priority, and you are encouraged to communicate about your needs.

After your session, there will be an opportunity to talk about how you are feeling, as well as receive suggestions for improving your health and well-being.

Some symptoms can be relieved in one session, but most people require multiple visits. Laura Rose might suggest an ideal follow-up time for your next appointment.
