Massage
My Mission - Your Experience
It is my mission to balance professional standards of massage with the personal, physical, and spiritual dimensions that make it a genuine modality of healing and rejuvenation. Through the connection experienced by massage and bodywork, my goal is to change lives. To honor your body and restore physical, mental, and spiritual balance in an environment that serves as a sanctuary, where you can escape your everyday burdens and life’s stress. The benefits of massage are significantly unique for each person. For that reason, I strive through knowledge and intuition to individualize my work for each client, utilizing a combination of techniques, including Swedish Massage, Deep Pressure, Reiki Energy Therapy, Aromatherapy, Sound Therapy, Breath Therapy, Stretching and Hot Towel Treatment. For those who want to focus on the health of their skin, I am now offering Body Mud Therapy. Aromatherapy, and Hot Towel Treatments are complimentary and are offered to each client to enhance the session. In addition, all clients are given a complimentary bottle of water during and after the massage.
Philosophy
At Roman Body Massage, my goal is to offer not only a relaxing massage, but also a therapeutic experience that will leave you feeling balanced in body, mind, and spirit. My philosophy integrates both the relaxing and therapeutic aspects of my massage, thereby optimizing the overall effects of each session. I approach each appointment with an intention of healing and mindfulness with your well-being at the forefront of my thoughts. Clients arrive at my studio to escape the negative influences of this world. Because I understand where my clients are coming from, I have an opportunity to provide a non-judgmental environment of trust, peace, and solace that is missing from their daily lives.
Studio Environment
My studio possesses an ambience that will warm your core the moment you walk through the door. The temperature is regulated to ensure your warmth and comfort. The lighting is minimum with the flicker of candlelight to connect with your spirit. The music I select harmonizes in the background enhancing your inner peace. The sound of water reminiscent of a flowing stream echoes from several fountains that I have placed throughout. My studio is immaculate and clean, free of pets so that you will not need to worry about cat or dog allergies.
Product Selection
I use the highest quality massage lotion that is hypoallergenic for sensitive skin with extracts of grape seed, apricot, and sesame. This allows your skin to be nourished without an oily after effect. Fresh linens, towels and blankets, if needed are provided for your comfort as well as privacy. My goal is to provide the highest quality and safest products possible. For this purpose, you will never find a candle burning in my studio that is made from paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is made from petroleum waste product and releases carcinogens that coat the lungs and skin. Instead, I only burn 100% pure beeswax candles which are not only safe, but are proven to purify the air quality by releasing negative ions into the atmosphere which adhere to allergens, and any other indoor substances that may be floating in the air.
Technique
I use the power of my body weight to apply pressure through my fingers, palms of my hands, forearms, and elbows. I like to balance this along with long flowing strokes to create a natural progression in my work that allows your body to relax and achieve harmony and rejuvenation. For those who are athletes or require deeper work, please rest assured that I can accommodate you. I have the strength and knowledge to work your muscles deep without leaving your body feeling beaten down and sore afterwards. My balanced blend approach allows me to successfully manipulate the deeper tension while at the same time relax your whole body. Hot, steaming towels directly from my hot towel cabinet will be applied to your back, neck, shoulders, legs, and feet adding a dimension of healing and relaxation simultaneously.
Breath work
The average person takes in shallow breaths and has no idea how to control their breath in order to relax and clear their mind. With Conscious Breath work, I coach you in rhythmic breathing to energize your body, to release energetic and emotional blocks, and to allow you to reach deep inner peace, clarity, relaxation, and healing on many levels. I incorporate breath work into all my sessions.
Deep breathing, counting your breaths, tandem breathing with a partner, to chanting ‘ohms’, are various methods to enhance your breathing experience. Actually being aware of your breath is central to many arts from yoga & tai Chi, to singing and athletics, as it helps one become more centered, focused, and present.
Tandem Breathing
Synchronizing your breathing with someone else’s is an amazing way to balance your body mind and spirit. This helps you balance active breathing along with being receptive to your partners breath. Most people find this to be an incredible experience, that opens up your heart chakra, and aligns your energy with your partner, creating an overall feeling of connection and compassion. |
