Sundown Healing Arts

Intuitive, compassionate bodywork for trauma

Massage

Massage Therapy – Swedish and Deep Tissue

Massage Therapy promotes relaxation and stress relief, improves blood flow, and can help sore muscles recover faster. I tailor each massage to your comfort level with your feedback about how gently or deeply to work. I can pay special attention to your feet with my training in Reflexology. I use lotion on your bare skin. Treatments are given fully draped with a sheet, with only the part I’m working on uncovered, on a padded table.

Through the direct, caring contact of massage, your awareness is brought to the tense areas in your body. Together, we ask your muscles to lengthen and soften, reminding them that there is safety and warmth to be enjoyed in the present.

I trained in massage at McKinnon Institute of Massage and Oregon School of Massage.
