My Healing Practice
My professional massage and healing space is nestled in a lovely, tranquil cottage in Santa Barbara, CA. I am committed to establishing a safe and trusting environment to facilitate deep relaxation and a positive awareness in the body for my clients. My intention as a healing practitioner is to allow for the full blessing and expression of each person, and to deeply honor the sacred vessel that is each body. I tailor the massage experience to each client’s unique constellation of healing needs using a blend of energy balancing & release, aromatherapy, and massage.
My bodywork certification began at the Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute, where I completed 250 hours of training in Swedish massage, Reflexology, and Energy Balancing, among others. I hold an additional 150 hours of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi training, as well as Level One Reiki and Flower Essence Practitioner certifications.
I bring joy, love, respect, and spiritual ecstasy to each session. I welcome the opportunity to open the channels and to assist you toward your own personal sense of wellness.
Massage is Essential, Not a Luxury
Massage therapy is an ancient healing art that can transform the body, as well as unite the body, mind, and heart to wholeness.
Massage therapy has been found to improve circulation, joint range-of-motion, flexibility, immunity, help remove metabolic toxins from the body, and facilitate overall health. It can reduce many common ailments such as stress, muscle tightness, aches and pains - even anxiety and depression.
Menu of Offerings
Swedish Massage
Relax and rejuvenate with a therapeutic combination of long, gentle strokes ideal for increased circulation and blood flow. This type of massage manipulates soft tissue, flowing toward the heart to aide in deeper relaxation, improved circulation and reduced swelling. Swedish Massage is an ideal healing tool for overall wellbeing and increased immunity.
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi
Derived from the ancient Polynesians and more specifically the master healers of Hawaii, Lomi Lomi is one of the most profound forms of massage. It is based on the Hawaiian philosophy called Huna--that everything seeks harmony and everything seeks love. Lomi Lomi works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and relaxes the entire being, assisting in a letting go of old beliefs, patterns and behaviors that cause limitations and which are stored in the cells of our body. Lomi Lomi helps release the blockages, while giving the energy new direction. Thus Lomi Lomi is not just a physical experience; it also facilitates healing on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels embracing tolerance, forgiveness, acceptance, nonjudgment, appreciation, compassion, respect and so many other elements. Aloha~ “The Breath of God is in our presence.”
Energy Healing
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing based on elevating life force The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually spiritually guided life force energy.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including the body, emotions, mind, and Spirit--creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and wellbeing. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and works in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to promote health and wellbeing.
Flower Essence and Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy, in which I combine a special blend of essential oils and a divine alchemy of flower essences, helps to infuse both the practitioner (me) and the client (you) with high harmonic frequencies.
My special spray essences (available for purchase) help to create a relaxing environment, reduce stress and tension, elevate the mood, and increase general well being. Individual oil blends can be made upon request.
