UP TO PAGE INDEX My Place or Yours:
My
centrally located room for sessions is warm, quiet and spacious and soft
music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table designed
for your comfort.
I will
also travel to your home, office or other institutional or work place
environment.
Please
reserve early as it may take one or two days to book your appointment.
What to Wear:
For
oil-on-skin bodywork the client is unclothed, however you may decide what
amount of clothing you wish to wear for your own comfort. You will be
properly draped during the session. For Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ sessions clothing is
kept on and it is preferable that the person not wear jeans or clothing
which restricts the breathing, encouraging relaxation.
What Gets Massaged:
We will
discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which
parts of your body require massage. A typical full body session will
include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and
shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals, male or
female.
UP TO PAGE INDEX What You Will Feel:
In a
relaxation massage, your session starts with broad, flowing strokes which
help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your
body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax
specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. You are invited to
communicate how much pressure you would like and I will adjust
accordingly.
In an
Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ session points are held in pairs and typically people
experience a deep letting go and relaxation as pairs of points are held in
a specific sequence. The amount of pressure is the clients' choice and may
be light or deep.
How Long Will You
Need:
The
full-body massage or bodywork session lasts for 75 minutes and an
Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ session lasts between 1.5-2 hours. To increase the benefits of
the relaxation you achieve, you are encouraged to keep your day or evening
free immediately after a session.
During the Session:
Make
yourself comfortable. Many people just close their eyes and completely
relax. Others like to talk during their session. Feel free to ask
questions about massage and Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ at any time during the session.
UP TO PAGE INDEX After the Session:
Most
people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and
pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial
period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy,
heightened awareness, and greater productivity that can last for days.
Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is
recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.
Benefits of
Massage and Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™:
Massage
and Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve
circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical
fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue,
improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage and acupressure are
also known to improve sleep and concentration, reduce anxiety and create
an overall sense of well-being.
Medical Conditions:
Massage
can be counter-indicated for some health problems. So before your session
it's important that you answer some general health questions. If you
are under a doctor's care for a specific problem it is advised that you
receive a written recommendation for massage or Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure™ prior to a
session. UP TO PAGE INDEX |
