Audra

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist with 7 years of experience. I strive to assist you in connecting deeply to your healing process. Every body is different and your treatment will be catered to fit your needs. In a session, I may utilize Deep Tissue Massage, Soft Tissue Mobilization, Trigger Point therapies, stretching techniques, Craniosacral work and John Barnes Myofascial Release to realign the body, restore motion, and promote overall health and healing.

John Barnes' Myofascial Release is a gentle, safe and highly effective, whole body, hands-on approach, to treatment.  It provides sustained pressure into myofascial restriction and utilizes a variance of pressure from light to heavy.  This technique eliminates pain and headaches and restores motion.  It deepens the relaxation response and is the ultimate, mind-body, healing approach.

I also offer special techniques including reducing tension in the jaw and neck for TMJ pain and prenatal massage to ease aches and soreness associated with pregnancy. Hot stone therapy is available upon request.

Available: Mon.-Thur. 10am-7pm, Fri. 10am-4pm, Sat. by appointment

The first massage I ever received was like waking up in a new body to know more about me and my physical relationship with the world.

I attended massage school at Lauterstein-Conway for a full year starting the summer of 2005. My yoga practice and teaching gives me an insight into what hurts and what feels good.

Each massage utilizes various modalities from Swedish to Shiatu to Thai to give a customized experience based on the platform of the knowledge I acquire daily teaching and helping others.

My massage work is based on the Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy style...yet I incorporate the last 10 yr of experience and other types of work as I feel the need when I work on a body. Another style of bodywork I include as needed or wanted is Resistance Stretch. This is what Dara Torres, 5X Olympic swimmer at 41 yr old, claimed was her secret weapon in the last summer games. She missed the gold by .01 sec...after having a 2 yr old baby! So everyone wanted to know what this was/is....I was trained by Dara's stretch team, Anne Tierney and Steve Sierra, AFTER the Olympics. I was in the first class they taught when it was over so we got to hear the whole experience for them. The work is awesome and immediate. AND it was AFTER I took this class that when I went back to Bikram Yoga..that I realized WHY it is so effective! Because it uses resistance stretch on TOP of heating the whole fascia webbing so the body can literally STRETCH OPEN! Awesome! While you are pushing down a muscle you are then pressing back with the other. I will sometimes throw in some resistance....but this is an ACTIVE move so the client has to be willing to resist----WORK! It is and can be a workout all by itself...but I usually only to this to one or two areas that are really stuck. Pfrimmer is alot of cross-fiber work based on repetitive passes...so the body begins to open as it is ready NOT when I decide to hold it long enough til it does. I work it alittle and then come back to it later. By the time I usually get someone prone (face down) I have already worked the back 6-9 times. It is ready and then we only need to work maybe 10 min.....if I even turn them over----I use a lot of sideline work...I find this best for the neck....the gravity pulls the muscles down to the transverse processes so when I do some circle work or cross-fiber...I begin to press the muscle against the bone and have the BONE doing the work from underneath the muscle.....so it's deep work with DEEP pressure....but I can do as deep a pressure as people want...it's just not necessary to cause pain and suffering for 3 days after a massage. So my work is different and every massage is different. I never know what I am going to do until I get in there. I may start on the feet...whatever....I just tune in...and go.

I became interested in alternative healing modalities when I was 19 years old, when a friend gave me my first Shiatsu book as a gift. After college, a few years singing all over the place with my guitar, I attended Shiatsu training at the Jay Scherer Academy of Healing Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and practiced Shiatsu on everybody I could find until much later, when I attended A New Beginning School of Massage and then Lauterstein-Conway. I have over 550 hours of training and work in a combination of styles. I love using aromatherapy (essential oils from plants) in my work, as I have found that they accelerate the healing process on many levels.

I have extra training in Thai Foot Massage, Myofascial Release, and Jin-Shin Jytsu and Aromatherapy.
I truly believe in the transformational power of yoga and bodywork and will be happy to share my love of this art form with you as my client.
