Soul Serenity
Myofascial Wellness

The Barnes Method of Myofascial Release is gentle, intuitive structural release of the fascia structure using a variety of methods and holds. It is not a 'protocol' of steps, but rather works with the body through low load and sustained pressure over time to rehydrate the fascia tissue, allowing for spontaneous movement, sound and emotion as part of the healing process. Each session is unique, and builds upon the last.

Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.

As part of MFR therapy, I will suggest stretches and movements and home care treatments as part of a on going educational training to allow you to maintain your new found freedom from the comfort of home! :)

Craniofacial Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.

I apply the John F. Barnes method of Cranial Sacral Therapy, working with the cerebral spinal fluid, as well as fascial structure, of the cranial bones, and that of the inner cranium, and brain and spinal cord.

Using the principles of Therapeutic Touch, I apply a gentle application the Barnes approach to assess, clear and sweep away stuck energy in the layers of your energy field to relieve pain, headaches, guarding, tension and trauma, leaving you grounded and relaxed.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness. I apply the Barnes Method of Myofascial Release to release the physical structure of the Fascial and Lymphatic System and light flushing strokes.

Orthopedic massage is a style of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It involves releasing tense muscles, helping to stretch and lengthen tight muscles and tendons, and decompress rigid joints. My goal is to restore full health to the soft tissues of your body, both treating your specific conditions as well as improving your overall well-being.  

I have 22 years of experience in treating complex cases of all types. After treat all types, hip and knee replacements, back and neck surgeries, motor vehicle and industrial accidents, sports injuries and other traumas.  I come highly recommended by Physical Therapist's, Nurses, MD's, DO's, Dr's of Acupuncture, Chiropractors, and Mental Health Professionals and patients for the quality of work I do and the results achieved.  I apply the gentle application of the John F. Barnes Approach in doing my orthopedic massage care.

I have worked with many athletes at all levels from Pro football and College Basketball players,  to Iron Man and Tri Athlon competitors, Ultra Runners,  Olympian Level Rowers, avid Kayakers, Hikers, Dancers, Cyclists, Pilates and Yoga enthusiasts to Weekend Warriors and avid Gardeners. If you have a goal, I can help you reach it!

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet and hands. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

I have had good success in treating patients with a variety of foot and body conditions by applying the Reflexology principle in a Myofascial manner. Applying gentler, longer holds to a tender foot and ankle and getting rapid reduction in swelling and arthritic or post surgical pain. Hammer Toes, Arthritis, Plantar Fasciitis, Morton's Neuroma, Bunions are just a few of the conditions I have treated with great success for patients.

Oncology Massage is a special type of massage developed specifically for cancer patients. Cancer patients have unique needs which must be addressed to make sure that a massage is beneficial to their health. I focus my attention on creating a gentle, nurturing environment for you to relax into.

I have had training in Oncology Massage care specific to breast cancer, and have worked with patients with a variety of cancers, both during oncology care, and post treatment care for scarring, adhesions and pain resultant from surgery, chemo and radiation therapy.

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation. I apply gentle John F. Barnes Myofascial Release techniques in pregnancy massage.

I have had over 40 hours of pre-natal training, and was trained by a Washington State Certified Doula in the course of my massage training.
