Hillhurst Healing Arts
Massage Therapy Clinic
Kensington Area

Treatments

Please be aware that aromatherapy is frequently used in the clinic.

I will help guide with which treatment areas and approach is the right fit for you based on your goals for treatment and your current issues.  All treatments are personalized to you and often include aromatherapy, myofascial cupping and personalized homecare suggestions to help you maintain and optimize your results.  All natural products are used within the clinic from massage oil to laundry soap...even the hospital grade disinfectant uses essential oils to disinfect.    I have some chemical sensitivities, so go out of  my way to avoid artificial fragrances.

Injury Treatment

Are you suffering from a recent injury or do you have an old injury that still causes problems for you?  A deep tissue, remedial massage can help to soften adhesions or scar tissue, improve circulation to damaged tissue and facilitate the return of normal health and function.  I am certified in advanced injury treatment for all areas of the body.  I find it so rewarding to help people recover from whiplash after a car accident, after a  joint replacement, a pesky shoulder injury, or a rolled ankle.   Massage works great with other modalities to help optimize your results and I have a network of other health professionals that I can recommend to you, based on your specific issue.

Deep Tissue Massage

Are you a weekend warrior?  Are you looking for a massage therapist that can find those trouble areas and really get in there to release the knots?  I have specific training and experience with deep tissue massage and assisted stretching  to help soften adhesions or scar tissue, improve circulation and improve flexibility and function.

Intra-Oral Treatment

If you are experiencing TMJ disfunction, such as tightness, pain or you have trouble opening your mouth as wide as you should, an intra-oral treatment can be extremely helpful.  Issues with tight jaw muscles can sometimes be less obvious, but are often a significant contributing factor to chronic headaches and co-factor to whiplash.  I have training in advanced intra-oral treatment using gentle, but amazingly effective techniques. 

Relaxation Massage

Are you dealing with stress?  Do you want help relaxing?  Don't underestimate the benefits of a relaxation massage!  Massage for relaxation will help your body to switch from 'fight and flight' mode to 'rest and digest mode'.  Studies have shown measurable decreases in stress hormones and also blood pressure following massage.  A relaxation massage can help you let go of stress and tension from your busy life.
