I integrate a number of healing modalities that I have studied in the past twenty years. I ask clients to fill out a short intake form and we discuss expectations of what the massage will accomplish before the person climbs on the table. I have a general outline in my mind of how I'll proceed. I also have a very strong intuitive sense which guides me in the healing work I do. I do not talk during a massage, allowing the client to completely relax and attain a quiet state naturally. And the client is always right when they say the pain s/he's feeling under my fingers is too much. I back off a titch and see if that feels better. I prefer to work with clients that want medium to deep pressure and are seeking relief from tight muscles, pain or stress.
