Therapeutic Massage!

Everybody loves the idea of receiving a relaxing massage-but when is the last time you invested in your well-being and had a session?


For several years my practice has focused on providing energywork and offering yoga (to individuals or small groups). Now, a new 'tool for the toolbox'-therapeutic massage!


I'm currently in-training to become a licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Wisconsin, which has some vigorous requirements! I'm specializing in the Eastern modality tract at TIBIA school of massage, which is supremely in alignment with JSJ, and also allows me to learn/offer the beautiful service of Swedish massage for clients wanting a 'western' focus.


So, what makes it "therapeutic"?
Therapeutic means making a measurable difference, which means an assessment before and after the session. As an RN with a love for science, I have an interest in making a measurable difference for people in pain, who feel "something is missing in life", who want to develop ways to have greater self-awareness, or simply say "I need a retreat" or want relief from sore muscles! (Although massage may be for enjoyment and relaxation, I do not provide sexual massage.)
