*All session minutes are a full length of hands on time, meaning the total duration of each session may be an additional 5 or 10 minutes depending on the length of intake/evaluation time and time on/off table. Should your needs be designated to a tight 60 minutes (or whichever length session you book) of total time it is necessary for you to communicate this at the beginning of your session and to make use of your time how you see fit.

Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique involving stone and/or a variety of tools. 'Gua' meaning scrape and 'Sha' meaning stagnation, implies the exact methodology of this modality that is best used as an ad on to a Deep Tissue Massage. Using gentle force at an angle the stone will coax apart layers of tissue that are stuck and stagnant; allowing blood flow to the tissue which potentially increases mobility and reduces tension.
Cupping uses a vacuum technique to pull apart layers of stuck tissue and potentially increase mobility and reduce stagnation. This technique is best when integrated into a massage session of any style and/or duration

Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane.
Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing “trigger points” in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These “knots” are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques in order to release your trigger points. This process can be slightly painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
Orthopedic massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. My goal is to restore full health to the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific conditions as well as improving your overall well-being.
The Teishin is a non-insertion Japanese acupuncture tool that looks like a rounded or blunt needle with a round end and a pointed one. Very gentle/light pressure is applied with the various techniques of the tool that utilizes the meridians and pressure points to help achieve better energetic flow in the body.
Molly is currently studying to become certified in CranioSacral Therapy which is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland and further specialized by Dr. John Upledger, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.
Developed by physical therapist Bonnie Pruden in 1976, myotherapy involves applying focused pressure onto specific points of the body called “trigger points”. Trigger points are places in the body that can cause pain to other areas of the body. For instance a trigger point on the hamstring might cause pain in the lower back. These trigger points are dissolved by applying direct pressure to the muscle for several seconds with either the hands, fingers, or elbows. Through several sessions of myotherapy, trigger points are eliminated, restoring full function and health to the body.
