Lymph drainage – This process involves the use of gentle manual maneuvers to aid in the recirculation of body fluids. For clients this technique is very comfortable and induces deep states of relaxation while improving immune function, circulating body fluids and balancing the autonomic nervous system. It’s like cleaning out the body’s sewer system.
Tendon Resetting Technique – Resetting reflexes to decrease tenderness and pain in trigger points and associated areas. Tendons attach all muscles to bones. Resetting the golgi-tendon reflex in the tendons allows muscles to regain their natural resting length.
Ligament and myofascial work - Ligaments and fascia are the ultimate connective tissue in the body. Working on these tissues often requires a different approach than working with muscles.
Bodytalk Access Technician - I’ve recently begun my journey into Bodytalk. Access treatments consist of 5 techniques performed one after the other. They are designed to balance the brain and body, decrease habitual reactions to stress, increase efficiency of hydration, increase immune function ie, fight off viruses, bacterias, microbes, intolerances, etc., and how to treat emergencies once traditional first aid had been applied. This is amazing work….very beneficial.
Somatic Education - Somatic Education is the improvement of bodily awareness to gain greater voluntary control of your bodily processes.
Bodymap refinement - The body map is your self-representation in your own brain. When your body map is accurate, movement is good. If your body map is inaccurate or inadequate, movement is inefficient and injury-producing. In Body Mapping, you’ll learn to gain access to your own body map through self-observation and self-inquiry…..
Percussion Therapy – This technique is performed with an electric tool that uses vibration to loosen very deep, tight muscles that may not be reached comfortable with human hands. It’s powerful, you just have to try it!
Reflexology – Reflexology is an ancient, dynamic touch therapy. It is based on the belief that the entire body is replicated on the ears and the extremities. Reflexology is the application of pressure to specific points on these areas to bring about a physiological change within the body. The feet are very sensitive and are usually the primary focus.
Rosen Method Intern - Rosen Method is unique in its use of sensitive, non-manipulative touch and words to encourage physical and emotional awareness……
The Roskopf Way - An integral approach to bodywork which recognizes our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual makeup. Using a synthesis of the bodywork techniques described above, refined touch and a sound understanding of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology & psychology, this is my unique way of working with people. This work is always personalized in the moment and from session to session so you can be comfortable and balanced in all that you want to do.
Sessions may take place on a table, seated, standing, walking, or even running, depending on what you would like to accomplish.
Additionally, you don’t have to disrobe for your treatment. Often this work is done more effectively with you wearing loose, comfortable clothing.
