Treatments
Oil, thermal, Swedish,
and barefoot therapies
All of my treatments feature the following therapies intended to enhance both relaxation and advanced/clinical outcomes.
Oil Therapy
A traditional Ayurvedic medicine also called oleation or snehana. Informed by these therapies, I use organic Ayurvedic base or medicinal oils according to each client’s unique goals. I exclusively partner with Banyan Botanicals (ABQ) and Kerala Ayurveda for safety, purity, and luxury.
Thermal Therapy
Long been practiced in the forms of moxibustion, sweat lodge ceremonies, temazcali and saunas. Many of my treatments include all-natural heat packs applied before massage therapy to soothe and prepare the musculoskeletal system for massage therapy.
Swedish Massage Therapy
World-renowned for its ability to ease clients into a deep state of relaxation. I use soothing, repetitive, and predictable movements with ongoing informed consent to bring peace to the whole bodymind.
Barefoot Medicine
Coined during China’s Cultural Revolution as a unique, hybrid healthcare system focused on providing basic healthcare to rural communities with limited resources. In my practice, Barefoot Medicines and Therapies refer to two indigenous, traditional modalities: Marma Point Therapy for Energy Healing from Kerala Ayurveda, and Chinese Medical Massage/Tui Na from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
