Amelia offers the following bodywork and instruction:
Therapeutic Massage
Restorative and nurturing, Therapeutic Massage sessions can include deep tissue, Swedish, Lymph Drainage, myofascial, CranioSacral, Swedish and Thai techniques, depending on the client's needs and situation 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.
Lymph Drainage Therapy
The cells of our body are immersed in a fluid enviornment where they receive their nutrients, grow, repair and die. The Lymph 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
An opportunity to nurture the mother, her body and her connection to her child, while providing relief from pain, tension and all the physical changes that pregnancy brings on. 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!
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.
