My "typical" session is a Structural Massage where I work all four sides of a client's body &/or the belly/abdomen -- so sufficient, unrushed time is necessary for this full-body, unifying style. Nearly all my clients who are seeking full-body therapy & relaxation book a 1.5-hr session or longer depending on their height/weight & session goals. If you know you want a comprehensive 4-sided structural massage, please schedule a 90-105-minute appointment. If you are over 6'1" tall or 225 lbs, I recommend an appointment of 105-120 minutes. If you are any size without a significant injury or a crazy amount of tension, a 75-minute appointment will work. Lastly, if the idea of laying on your sides or receiving abdominal work does not appeal to you, don't worry - we can take a more standard massage approach & I will work to ensure you walk out feeling amazing having received just the approach to bodywork that makes you comfortable! While these sessions are not spa-massages, I do utilize hot towels and a little bit of sound healing in every session because it feels so good & I love it!
Visceral-Osteo Deep Listening Session
75 minutes (1.25-hour) $150
If you are seeking support for acute or chronic pain, illness, gastrointestinal issues, or you have a complex injury & pain history & deep tissue/structural work is not for you, I recommend a 75-minute Visceral-Osteo Deep Listening Session. This neurologically-organizing session utilizes a Visceral Manipulation & Osteopathic style assessment & treatment approach. Starting with light touch on the head while you are standing fully clothed, your body motion guides the clothed session, pointing to primary restrictions that I will treat once you are on the table in the sequential order that your body directs. These primary restrictions can be small & subtle or they can be decades old & something you've tolerated living with. When the body is in charge & listened to & asked to guide the session, incredible healings happen.
These treatments are generally gentler depending on the tissue that is calling out for the work - dural, skin, subcutaneous, bone, ligament, vascular & organ tissue all ask for different levels of conscious depth. A typical Viceral-Osteo Deep Listening Session will involve 4-6 standing motion assessments with time on & off the table re-checking range of motion & noticing the changes that occur between each gentle treatment. Some Cranial Sacral bodywork can be woven quite beautifully into a Deep Listening session if the clients desires.
For clients with multiple autoimmune, hypermobility and/or fibromyalgia situations/symptoms, it's important that we speak beforehand to make sure I am a good match for your sensitive system. Sometimes toxic load, viruses & parasites have a causal relationship to these diagnoses & I'd like to know if you are working with a practitioner who is addressing your symptoms on that level before I try to apply a gentle structural approach to your pain/situation. If we determine that I am not a good match for you, I have another LMT whose gentle work I think very highly of in Oregon City who I would refer you to.
Acute Injury Treatment Session
55-minutes $120
If you have just one or two specific acute injuries or an isolated situation going on that you want my help with -- I offer a 55-minute treatment session for $120. Depending on injury location you may keep some or most of your clothes on & be on & off the table several times doing range of motion/movement so I can assess & stack the progress we make in your treatment. I will combine Visceral-Osteo approach, Structural Integration & Deep Tissue work, depending on what your body is telling me. This session is specifically for injury/acute treatment & will have the flavor of a PT appointment (not a full body massage).
