I also have a lengthy resource page with details of books and products I have found through the years. This page is just an overview and more details can be found on the individual pages.
SERVICES
Facial Massage with Spa Facial. In addition to being a massage therapist, I am also a licensed SD aesthetician. This facial is specific to your individual needs and may include medicupping, hot stone massage, a spa mask and other professional products. If your face is tight from stress in your life, then your whole body suffers. A facial with facial massage is very relaxing, stress reducing and anti-aging. There is much research being conducted into FASCIA and a book published on this subject in 2017 states that the face is a pure parasympathetic structure. This might explain why the experience of a facial massage can be so relaxing for the entire body.
Infrared Sauna from Therasage. This is a one-person sauna that is comfortable and an easy way for you to add infrared to your massage experience. I suggest the 15-30 minutes in the sauna prior to your massage as it prepares the muscles and fascia for manipulation by warming from the inside out.
Steamy Wonder. An opaque tent in placed directly on the massage table. You have your choice of several herbal mixes which we add to a steam pot. This herbal preparation fills the steam tent and you relax quietly inside. Your muscles quickly respond by letting go of their tension. This service is good for many things including any respiratory conditions, post chemotherapy, and any weekend warrior pains. (This service has been replaced by the Infrared Sauna but if you prefer it please discuss with me)
Medicupping. Cupping has been around for 5000 + years. It is incredibly useful for releasing tight muscles, for moving stagnant lymph and for releasing adhesions due to scar tissue. Their are many uses and more details are included on the page titled Cupping.
Celebration of Feet. If you stand on your feet all day, if your feet are always uncomfortable, if you have low back pain, if you have suffered any leg, ankle or foot injury or surgery then this service might be for you. It is 90 minutes of concentration on your feet and lower legs. You remain fully clothed except from the knees down so it is easy for folks of all ages. This is an incredible experience and one that will leave you floating. You might be surprised how working on the feet will relax the entire body!
NEW BOOKS:
FASCIA, What is is and why it matters author David Lesondak 2017, Handspring Publishing. This is an incredible book highlighting much of the current knowledge about Fascia. This new information will change the way anatomy is taught in the future as it has a dramatic impact upon our health and vitality. I strive to keep up with the latest research that affects massage therapy especially as it relates to Fascia.
Life Changing Foods by author Anthony Williams. Released November 2016 by publisher Hay House. ISBN:978-1-4019-4832-0. In this book the author shares the healing power of over 50 fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices, and wild foods. Anthony explains each food's properties, the symptoms and conditions it can help relieve or heal, and the emotional and spiritual benefits it brings. He also shares many delicious recipes and I have tried many of them. This book has been an inspiration to me as it has reminded me of just how important foods are and which ones have the most healing potential.
PRODUCTS:

It is Vitamin C delivered via lyposomal nano-spheres which allows for maximized bioavailability which is key. Learn more at www.LivOnLabs.com. A book entitled Primal Panacea by Thomas E.
