What is integrative massage? 

Integrative massage therapy is a treatment that involves the integration of therapy techniques from a number of different massage modalities including Swedish, Neuromuscular (deep tissue), Lymphatic Massage, Trigger Point work, and Shiatsu. Emily also incorporates elements from her training as a pilates, yoga and body-rolling teacher in her sessions.

​

Where and when are sessions held? 

Sessions take place in our cozy wellness nook at the studio during off-class times, so you have the entire space to yourself. Emily is available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. You can check her availability by clicking "book now."

 

I've never met Emily, what's she like?

Emily is a passionate practitioner who has studied and worked with the human body in many forms throughout her career as a movement specialist, Integrative Massage Therapist and Body Worker, and as a Pilates and Kundalini instructor. She is humble, wise, and believes that listening to our body and intuition can guide us to our own ultimate healing and vitality.

​

How is integrative massage different from therapeutic massage therapy? 

Simply put, Integrative Massage is whole-person healing. This work pays close attention to your physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies to locate tension caused by historic and present emotional pain, stress, minor physical injuries, and psychic or energetic irritations.

​

What can I expect?

Integrative massage takes a deeper look at the psychic/emotional injuries that can create trauma in the physical body and creates space for deep healing, relaxation, and connection to your most whole self. Before your session, you'll chat with Emily about how you're feeling and what you're looking for. We encourage you to be an active participant and share feedback with Emily on pressure, sensation, and any changes you experience during your massage.
