Answers to Commonly
Asked Questions

What is Swedish massage?

Swedish massage is the most common form of massage used in Europe and the U.S., and is the form of massage licensed by the state of Oregon. Using oil or lotion on the skin, the therapist massages the muscles and connective tissues to provide general relaxation, relieve stress, alleviate muscular soreness, enhance lymphatic drainage, as well as provide many other benefits to the recipient.

What is energy work?

Energy work is subtle bodywork that affects the energy field, or aura, which surrounds and permeates the physical body. There are many forms of energy work.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy work that originated in Japan and is usually described as "channeling Universal life energy," Practiced with the hands placed in various positions on the body, it is a gentle and profound healing art that benefits body, mind, and spirit. There are three levels of Reiki Practitioners - first-degree, second-degree, and master level.

What is Etheric Healing?

Etheric Healing is practiced with the hands off the body to affect the aura, or etheric body, that surrounds the physical body.

What is Spiritual Healing?

My intention is to do more than just help the body feel better. Healing of the spirit is the basis of my work. Either silently or aloud, I invite sacred energies into the session to provide guidance and protection, and I ask for support in working with the highest and purest intent. Using a combination of touch, energy work, and shamanic sound work, I intuitively facilitate connection to the deeper self and to the Divine. Sometimes magic happens.

Do you do deep tissue?

My work is usually deep enough for most people. I don't claim to do deep tissue - my work is more subtle. If you've received enough massage to know that you're looking for a deep tissue specialist, I recommend you try another therapist. If you're not sure, give my work a try.

Masseuse or masseur?

These are French words. Masseuse is the feminine, masseur is masculine. The politically-correct, non-gender-specific term is "massage therapist."

May I receive a massage without energy work or spiritual healing?

Of course, the session is yours to tailor as you wish. You may receive any form of offered bodywork by itself or in combination with other forms. You may also choose to ask the therapist to work intuitively, if you like.
