I've been blessed with what many clients call magical and gifted hands. I am very intentional with making sure every client walks away from my massage feeling amazing. I use different modalities to melt away your stress and tension knots, all while feeling absolutely amazing. My female clients feel so amazing after their massage, that they feel, anything under 2 hrs is almost sinful.
1. Stress/ Relaxation massage
This gentle breasts massage — helps relieve stress as it releases oxytocin. When people are under physical stress, like pain or restraint, oxytocin levels in the blood increase. This can prevent the nervous system from shutting down in the face of something difficult or scary, and can lower cortisol, the stress hormone. Oxytocin can also help lower anxiety
2. For Sore muscles
These muscles are called your pectorals. Perhaps you participate in activities, exercises, or sports that strain these muscles.
The pectorals are shaped like triangles and rest underneath your breasts. If you develop tension in your back, you may compensate by tensing your chest muscles as well.
Massage to the chest can bring on more lasting relaxation than massaging the back alone. In fact, if you have only your back massaged, your brain will still sense tension in your chest when your session is complete.
As a result, the brain may send tension back to your back to rebalance the forces in the two areas of your body.
3. Lymphatic system
Your breast tissue extends all the way into the area under your armpit. There are many lymph nodes in this part of the body, and massaging them may help stimulate your lymphatic system.
Your lymphatic system is responsible for helping your body flush out toxins. If you’ve had surgery on your lymph nodes, you may experience a buildup of waste fluids called lymphedema. You may also hear this type of breast massage referred to as manual lymph drainage.
A gluteal massage is when the massage therapist works on the buttocks to help with muscle tension. We carry a lot of tension in our buttock area from sitting, bad posture among other different reasons. This is one of the main causes of lower back issues, stiffness of the hips and movement mobility. When receiving a gluteal massage, it is recommended that the client either wear a thong or nothing at all. Why? Because of a few reasons: 1. The therapist has to stop and move the underwear out of the way, restricting a smooth flow, which is important when working from the lower back down the gluteal muscles. 2. Having on underwear causes the massage therapist’s hands to rub against the underwear causing discomfort to the massage therapist hand. 3. It can be uncomfortable for the client as the therapist has to try and position the underwear in between the client’s buttocks to gain full access to the buttocks causing a wedgie. However, it’s all about you feeling comfortable and it is important that you undress to your comfort level.
You may undress to your comfort level, as your feeling comfortable is my main priority. I am very good at draping/ covering you to maintain your privacy. It also depends on what type of massage a client is looking for. 80% of my clients prefer their massages without clothing on/ nude under the sheet for a consistant massage flow. Again, it is of the utmost importance that you undress to your comfort level. Either way, you will always be covered and drapped where your private areas will not be exposed.
I want men and women to experience an amazing massage for a fraction of what other places charge. Self care should not be a luxury or a treat but an affordable lyfestyle that people get monthly or every 6 weeks. I love what I do, and I love taking care of people. The price may be cheap, but my massages are top notch. The reviews don't lie.
Research indicates that massage and myotherapy are effective in managing:
They can also be effectively used to support people with:
Some of the physical benefits of massage and myotherapy include:
In some cases, yes it can, and it’s completely normal. Touch administered to any part of the body can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which can result in arousal. It is nothing to be embarrassed about. A truly professional massage therapist knows this and is not shocked by what the body does during a massage. In other words, a true professional massage therapist will make sure that no matter what your body does as a result of your massage there is no judgement and that you are in a safe place. Just to add, some massages will cause the body to pass gas while on the table. Again, nothing to be embarrassed about.
It is believed, but not a scientific fact, that trauma and difficult emotions can, in fact, become literally stuck energy in the body. When the nerve endings in our tissues are stimulated, it's not uncommon that the stimulation releases trapped emotional and traumatic energy. This may sound strange, but it's becoming widely accepted in the medical world. A trained massage therapist understands this and will make sure you feel comfortable and safe while releasing some trauma.
