Therapeutic Massage
A massage session can include deep tissue, myofascial, CranioSacral, Swedish and Thai techniques, depending on the client's focus for the day.   Whether that is relaxation, working on sore muscles, enhancing mobility, or moving more deeply into a connection with body and spirit, Amelia brings her nurturing loving spirit to every session.   A delight to the senses.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
The cells of our body are immersed in a fluid enviornment where they receive their nutrients, grow, repair and die. The lymphatic system drains this interstitial area, transporting wastes, foreign bodies, germs and toxins out of the body. Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) supports this system and is used to alleviate conditions such as swelling (edemas), chronic pain as well as to detoxify and regenerate body tissues. It is effective in stimulating the immune system, improves chronic infections and inflammations and for cosmetic applications to minimize scars and wrinkles. LDT is especially helpful before and after surgery or dental work and is performed with a very gentle touch.

Pregnancy Massage, as well as Fertility and PostPartum
Amelia is a Certified Nurturing the Mother© practitioner of Therapeutic Massage for Pregnancy, she also combines modalities for Fertility and Postpartum work. By nurturing mothers, Amelia is able to nurture families and babies, bringing more peace and comfort into what can be a challenging time for all. Often a longer session is recommended to nurture the mother, her body and her connection to her child.   Special props and positioning are used for comfort and safety.   High risk patients are encouraged, especially for the relaxation benefits - with their Doctor or Midwife's permission.   Expectant fathers also benefit from massage!

CranioSacral Therapy
A gentle, hands-on method of enhancing the function of the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.   By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.   Deep and transformative work.

Couples Massage
Generally offered in your home, a time to nurture yourselves and your relationship.   Work side by side with Amelia, nurturing your partner with gentle soothing touch.   Amelia will guide and teach massage and relaxation techniques that will support and encourage loving, non-sexual physical connection within the relationship.   Both partners will receive a full massage session.   Very empowering.

"Amelia's touch is one of a kind.   I have been blessed to receive some of the most amazing massages over the last twenty years, from Thailand to Spain and all over the US at some of the best spas, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Amelia as one of the very best.   She has worked on my neck and shoulders to relieve the deep tension that I tend to store there and she was very inspiring and delightful in a recent couples massage which I had never participated in before.   Learning to tune in to your partner and work in tandem with Amelia left us both in a very relaxed and blissful state.   In a particular session with Amelia, even deeper awakenings were released from my diaphragm, which is a challenging area for most therapists, yet Amelia was intuitive and deep and sensitive to releasing this area.   As a yoga teacher, I work my body daily and having Amelia to smooth out the muscles and help release some of what comes from my practice is a true blessing."
