integrative bodywork
service menu
I am currently practicing out of a private studio in Coventry, CT (MT #11281).
Sessions are by appointment only.
NOTE: Emma's books are currently full but please contact me to be added to my waitlist or to connect directly if you have a gift card and would like to make an appointment.
In my body work practice I use high quality oils and handmade herbal preparations throughout my sessions. I prioritize creating an inviting, sensory sensitive atmosphere in the studio.
I do not upcharge for the inclusions of therapeutic tools and specialized techniques.
Infrared light therapy, body & facial cupping, gua sha, heat applications (hot stone, hot towels), deep tissue/myofascial, aromatherapy, and craniosacral therapy are woven into sessions at no additional cost (topical herbal preparations, custom aromatherapy blends, and complementary custom tea are included into signature experiences).
Prices are all inclusive (tipping not required).
60 minutes; $120
75 minutes; $145
90 minutes; $170
Session time allotment reflects minutes of total hands on time.
My massage style reflects a holistic perspective that is less about orienting to dysfunction but rather enhancing the innate organization and vitality of the body.
Every massage is customized to meet your intentions and therapeutic goals. This structure allows us to craft a session unique to your needs of the day-whether that is seeking calm, recovering from an injury or seeking pain relief. I adapt pressure to client's tissue and nervous system response, typically offering firm consistent pressure within a rhythmic flow to elicit tissue change and relaxation. Finesse over force is my strategy. Therapeutic massage supports circulation, lymphatic & immune health, improved flexibility, range of motion, better sleep, lifted mood, and mind body integration.
Integrative Craniosacral Therapy
Bridging biodynamic and mechanical approaches, integrative craniosacral therapy is intended to nourish and bring presence to the body's innate health by attuning to the rhythm of its fluid systems. Based in osteopathy, gentle contact points are made across the body but focus on the bones pelvis, spine, and cranium to facilitate release of restrictions to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. By attuning to this vital pulse, the body is encouraged to self correct and the brain and associated channels are able to be bathed in essential nutrients which supports whole body health and coherence. Clients often come for support through personal development (to facilitate change in nervous system patterns), to connect with their inner world, or for restorative touch when in a time of depletion or recovery. This work also suits those who have a challenge that need a holistic approach (chronic pain, sleep issues, TMJ, headache, immune health).
I perceive these waters of the body like any that exist in nature–observing that there are channels, tides, and varying amplitudes of waves. The components of cerebrospinal fluid are adjacent to that of ocean water, where all of life began. By attuning to these rhythms, listening to the body and reestablishing symmetrical flow, we are returning to self and remembering our nature by circulating this ancient wisdom. Remembering that while the body holds memory of our experiences, it also keeps an innate blueprint of vitality and wisdom that knows how to heal. CST offers a deep state of rest and quietude that allows this map to surface.
Session can be 60 minute for CST only/fully clothed
Or in 75, 90, 2 hour appointments to integrate massage.
