REJUVENATION MASSAGE<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rejuvenation massage is for anyone who wants to float out of the clinic room. Long, smooth, reassuring strokes are designed to lift you from a state of tension or depletion to the pleasurable state of complete relaxation and peace. The pace is unhurried by design – there’s nowhere to rush to, nothing to fix. Pressure can be as gentle or firm, but the intention stays the same: a soothing, connected experience that allows your whole system to settle. By placing yourself in the caring hands of another, you’re given the space to slow down and safely drift away.

Rejuvenation massage is suited to pregnancy, prolonged stress, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, migraine recovery, sleep deprivation and depression.

CONNECTED MASSAGE<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For those wanting to address specific areas of discomfort, connected massage blends that slow, calmer pace with focused pressure where needed. Taking things slowly when applying focused pressure allows the tension to be felt, met and released rather than pushed through.

This work will ease areas of tightness or heaviness in the neck, shoulders, back and hips, but the emphasis stays on connection over correction \u2014 a session that leaves you feeling both worked with and deeply cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

ONCOLOGY MASSAGE<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

People often ask if massage is safe for cancer? And the short answer is \u201cYes.\u201d Michelle is a trained oncology massage therapist and is able to provide you a safe and effective massage at any stage of the cancer journey:  before, during and after treatment, in remission or at the end stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oncology Massage may be quite different to your understanding and experience of massage. It offers a very gentle and simple touch with long, slow, soothing strokes and holds. This allows you connect with your body in a kind and healing way and people are often pleasantly surprised at the depth of the experience.  This type of massage is also suitable any time your body is in a fragile state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

OTHER MODALITIES<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Michelle is likely to include techniques from other modalities such as Myofascial Release (slow stretching of the tissue surrounding your muscles), Holistic Pulsing (gentle rocking of the body to assist muscle release), Myofscial Unwinding (gentle, still-hand work) and Lymphatic Drainage as required. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
