Welcome to Jnana Massage Therapy
Growing up, the first modality to cure what ailed my siblings and I was holistic healing – herbal teas, massage, hot steam treatments sometimes complimented by some medication. I learned very early that there were other methods to healing; therefore pursued my education in therapeutic massage to help others experience more natural relief from various ailments. I have a degree and license in therapeutic massage and I am a certified yoga instructor. I specialize in Thaivedic inspired massage and Lomi Lomi.
The mind, body and spirit are efficient, resilient, and strong but they get overwhelmed and out of balance through the vicissitudes of life. My mission is to create a space where you can refresh your spirit, renew your mind and rejuvenate your body in order to achieve optimal health and wellness.
Your wellbeing is important to me and I would love to be a part of your healing journey. I’m honored to have been called to share this journey with you. I want to be your partner in restoring homeostasis to your system. Ultimately, my goal is to help you tap in your resilience, strength and innate ability to heal yourself.
Specialties
Thaivedic inspired massage
Thaivedic is a healing system which encourages integration and continual evolution. While Thaivedic bodywork is relatively new, it is based both modern bodywork and on the most ancient systems of healing available including Ayurveda, Thai Massage and Chinese Medicine. Using Ayurveda as the governing system, the Thaivedic system bridges multiple modalities. The types of bodywork one can receive is as varied and unique individuals who need it. With advanced holistic diagnosis and a 5 Element System Thaivedic indicates when and on whom each modality should be applied even in the most specialized modern practice. This decreases the chances of injury or malpractice, promotes the flourishing of specialized healing modalities while recognizing the importance of balance, time and individuality.
Thaivedic bodywork is the powerful combination of Ayurvedic diagnosis and lifestyle therapies, married with the meditative, sensitive and sustainable approach of Thai Massage.
Lomilomi, which means to knead or rub in a gentle manner is an ancient Hawaiian restorative healing system. Lomi Lomi massage originated in ancient Polynesia. When Polynesian settlers first came to Hawaii, Lomi Lomi came with them. The Native Hawaiian spiritual practitioners, or kahunas, continued to use Lomi Lomi as a means of restoration and healing, in concert with other herbal and ritual medicinal techniques.
Lomi Lomi massage is an integrative massage practice that uses long seamless strokes that glide from one part of the body to another. The rhythmic, repetitive movements are meant to soothe the mind while easing tension in the muscles.
The theory behind Lomi Lomi is similar to the concept of qi found in Traditional Chinese Medicine – connecting the mind and body to maximize healing potential. Lomi Lomi massage can treat a wide variety of conditions, but most often is used to create a healing environment within the body by relaxing the client, rather than targeting a specific physical problem.
The healing benefits of Lomi Lomi massage are many, including improved circulation for detoxifying the body, stimulation of the lymphatic system, release of muscle tension, and a deep sense of relaxation.
What to Expect
If you are receiving Thai Body Work you will be stretched in a flowing dance like pattern. You will need to wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement.
If you are receiving Lomi Lomi warm oil will be applied in long flowing strokes. Because of the long, flowing nature of the strokes, traditional Lomi Lomi is performed without a top or bottom sheet to allow glide from one area of the body to the next. Towels are used for privacy. However sheets are available based your level of comfort.
