manual lymphatic drainage

MLD is a specialized massage technique that is gentle and can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the body by stimulating the lymphatic system. Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage include improved immune system function, reduced pain and inflammation, prevention of breast conditions, rapid healing pre and post-surgery, reduced cellulite, and can help with weight loss.

cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese healing method that uses vacuum-sealed cups placed on the skin to create negative pressure. This suction action helps separate tissue layers, increase blood flow, and release muscle tension in ways traditional massage cannot achieve. While it may temporarily leave circular marks, this therapeutic technique can effectively reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and enhance circulation.

gua sha / instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization

helps to relieve pain and tension in the body by helping with adhesions and moving fluid in the body. These techniques use metal / stone tools to locate and treat soft tissue dysfunctions and edema. IAMSTM has been said to be a modern evolution of Traditional Chinese Medicine called Gua Sha. However, Gua Sha is not used to treat Musculoskeletal conditions, the scraping action is believed to break up stagnant energy, called qi, which may be responsible for inflammation. Guasha can also be used using lighter pressure to help promote lymphatic drainage. IASTM is performed to detect and help treat fascial restrictions and treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis and chronic inflammation.

myofascial release

Fascial release therapy applies gentle, sustained pressure to areas of tissue restriction, allowing the collagen in connective tissue (fascia) to release and rehydrate. This gentle approach is more effective than aggressive treatments because fascia naturally resists sudden force. By addressing underlying restrictions throughout the body, this technique promotes long-lasting relief and improved mobility.

assisted stretch

Assisted stretching helps increase flexibility and correct muscular imbalances while preventing injury and supporting recovery. Modern lifestyles and stress can create excessive resting muscle tension, limiting movement and affecting posture. This therapeutic technique helps restore optimal muscle tone, making movement more efficient and pain-free while enhancing overall range of motion.

rapid percussion therapy

Rapid percussion therapy is delivered through a specialized massage tool, provides targeted deep muscle relief. The therapist controls intensity and depth as the rhythmic percussion releases tension and moves fluids within muscles. Initially intense, the sensation becomes soothing over time. This technique effectively breaks up adhesions, improves mobility, and accelerates recovery by enhancing metabolic reactions in tissue.

Cheryl

Debra’s medical massage has been extremely beneficial in the healing of my cancer. Debra not only has pristine medical and anatomy knowledge but an amazing sense of intuition and healing hands. She has also been trained in using specialty tools that have helped me to recover from surgery, breaking up scar tissue which has not only brought upon great pain relief, but has boosted my self confidence in reshaping my body. Debra has a deep understanding of the interconnection of the body and she is a therapist you can completely trust. Myself, a yoga teacher for almost 30 years, I know a person’s energy really matters as a therapist. Rest assured that Debra has amazing energy along with all of her knowledge. She continues to educate herself and is passionate about her work in serving others. I am grateful I found her and I highly recommend her.

Kathryn

I suffered with hip pain off and on for years until it finally got so bad that I found myself limping at the end of each day. The orthopedic surgeon recommended physical therapy as a first step, but PT actually made it worse! I assumed I was destined for invasive surgery until I had my first session with Debra. After just one session, I experienced my first day without limping in at least a year, and I had to adjust the rearview mirror in my car because I was sitting up taller. Since then, she has helped me maintain my hip, leg, neck, and back issues and has even helped me with my sinuses! Debra has also given me invaluable advice on how to manage my issues at home through exercise and natural supplements. My sessions with her have been truly life changing!

Anne

Working with Debra has truly been a transformative experience. Her skillful touch and attentive approach create a space of deep relaxation and healing. I’ve left each session feeling rejuvenated, both physically and mentally. Her expertise and genuine care shine through in every massage, making her an invaluable part of my wellness journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Debra to anyone seeking a therapeutic and uplifting experience.

Cassandra

I was a Division One tennis player until I needed to have my first shoulder surgery. Since then I’ve had a total of four and the last one was 8 years ago. I’ve struggled with keeping my range of motion, no matter how many times I stretched and rehabbed my shoulder. Debra has been working on my shoulder and she is the only person who has been able to give me back my range of motion that stays. I am so thankful for all the work she has done! It even has allowed me to get back on the tennis court and not be in pain or lose my range of motion.

Michele

Debra is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to, and I have been to a lot over the years. As a competitive gymnast growing up, I’ve done some damage to my body. Debra has helped me find relief in my neck, lower back, jaw, hamstring attachment, my feet helping plantar fasciitis and a recent bunion and even has offered relief with a hiatal hernia. She has also helped my son with severe TMJ and feet issues, and helped my daughter gain significant improvement in the look and appearance of scars left from surgeries in early childhood. Debra’s passion for her craft emotes as she gets excited to see the results from her work. And, Debra continues to learn new techniques and therapies to benefit her diverse clientele. She truly is amazing at what she does and I can hardly wait until my next massage!!
