Even if you come just for relaxation, your stress is stored in your muscles. I identify the areas you hold tension in your body and address the appropriate muscles to release that tension. In addition to the session time, I provide free assessment interview that goes through your daily routines to determine cause of muscle stress. After the session, I will suggest solutions that will modify your d
aily routine to limit unnecessary stress on your muscles, including sleeping position, posture, gait, stretches. Conditions I can treat and / or ease: Arthritis, Scoliosis, Carpal Tunnel, Thoracic Outlet, Plantar Fasciatis, Fibromyalgia, Tendonitis, TMJ Disorder, Neck stiffness, Low back pain, Pseudo-sciatica
Pregnancy Massage: With the adjustable bodyCushion set (http://www.bodysupport.com/) that supports any sized belly throughout its pregnancy, I can work on your low back in a prone position (face-down) on the massage table. Couples Massage: I've been assisting teaching in Ashmead College since June 2004. In my own practice, I offer classes in which I demonstrate massage techniques with thorough explanations on each technique and the muscles involved. The clients participate in the session while one is on the table and the other follows my demonstration and my guidance in massage. You can learn the basics of massage in even one class in order for you to practice on each other at home safely and effectively. In follow-up classes, I can teach different strokes and different techniques on different muscle groups. Acro yoga: In this partner yoga of Base (practitioner) and Flyer (patient), gravity is used to increase the effectiveness of stretches and allow easier access to deeper muscles. (see attached pictures)
I also teach basic acro yoga. A fun and therapeutic recreation that can be practiced with friends and family. Background: I came to Seattle in 1999 as a software engineer, but decided to change my career and help people in a more direct fashion. I graduated with honors in 2004 from the Seattle-based Ashmead massage school. I speak fluent English, Hebrew and some French. License number: MA00020488
