Sessions offered
Swedish Massage
A perfect way to relax and unwind. Swedish uses gentle, calming techniques to bring a sense of ease and relief to tight, achy muscles. Help reduce muscle soreness, tension, and pain. Help increase circulation and improve muscle tone.
Deep Tissue
Targets the deeper muscle and connective tissue. It can help improve blood flow, and realign the deeper muscle tissue. This uses deeper pressure, friction, kneading, stretching, jostling, and the more gentle techniques of Swedish.
I also use a combination of Neuromuscular Therapy and Myofascial Release. This is a great choice for people that have specific ailments, injuries, or chronic pain.
Sports Massage
This uses passive and active stretching among other techniques. I typically incorporate aspects of this into my other sessions.
Prenatal Massage
A gentle, calming massage to help ease the discomforts of pregnancy. The side-lying position is used to allow the most comfortable positioning. Must be past 1st trimester and bring a doctor's release stating you are cleared for massage.

Massage Session FAQs
What kind of massage do I perform?
My work varies depending on the client's desired outcome. I use multiple techniques and methods to improve function, reduce tension, or just help you relax.
What is the difference between the different styles?
Swedish massage is gentle and non-specific. You still work the superficial tissues and can achieve relief from discomfort.
Deep Tissue is a more focused work that targets the deeper tissue restrictions and adhesions.
Will deep tissue hurt?
Tenderness during a session is normal. Areas of high stress and restriction are typically tender to pressure. It is also common to feel a little tender in areas that receive deep, intensive work. Soaking in a hot bath, shower, or using a heating pad after a session can alleviate some soreness.
I never want my work to hurt or cause pain. Do not feel like you have to deal with work you find to be too much. I ask for feedback during sessions so please be honest.
How do I know when not to get a massage?You are suffering from a cold/flu/fever - please wait at least 24 hours after your symptoms stop to get bodywork.
You have poison ivy/oak or other contagious skin conditions.
Certain autoimmune disorders, diseases, spinal injuries, or physical injuries may prevent certain types of bodywork or limit the areas I can work. If you are under the care of a doctor or other health care professionals ask them if massage is appropriate. I may also ask that they contact me with an okay or the precautions I'll need to take.
About Esther
Massage and personal training allow me to guide people in their search for wellness. "Wellness" is individual. For some it means getting physically stronger or able to run a marathon. For others, it means gaining back movement or stability after injury.
Acting as a guide to help people find and achieve their goals is an honor. I aim to create a space of comfort and security to allow healing and challenge where needed.
The physical body and mind need to work together. Sometimes we are too in our heads and out of touch with what our bodies are telling us. Through massage, exercise, and diet; I hope to help reconnect the mind and body.
