Your Session

 

Body In Balance offers bodywork as dynamic as you are.  Each session approaches the body anew, providing a moving experience that works in harmony with your body's natural wisdom, inviting balance. 

 

Choose from the following:

Therapeutic Massage - Relaxing, nurturing and effective, each session is created collaboratively, honoring your treatment goals and preferences.  Sessions range from connected, flowing strokes that promote relaxation to deep tissue work including trigger point therapy and myofascial release (see below) designed to work out those knots that are calling out for attention.

Myofascial Release- A gentle but deep treatment for chronic pain that uses slow, sustained pressure to break up fascial patterns of tension, restriction and misalignment.  

Somatics Bodywork- Experience a one-of-a-kind movement-based bodywork session.  Relax while you are supported, stretched and rocked.  Gentle movement and touch encourages relaxation, restores postural balance, inspires full, relaxed breathing and promotes ease of movement.  For this work, wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement.  Jeans tend to be a bit restrictive.  During a somatics bodywork session, Nancy blends her training in Shin Somatics, SomaticRelease, Breema, Myofascial Release, Contact Improvisation, yoga and energy work.  Sessions are collaboratively designed and may include breathwork, visualization and guided meditation.

Many clients report feeling taller, lighter and wanting to dance when they leave a session!

"I had my first somatic session and I was amazed at how light and refreshed I felt. It was very gentle and very effective. I can see this as a wonderful addition for patients who are in a hurry, don't have time to undress or book a full massage or even elderly with movement restrictions or children who might feel uncomfortable undressing!"  -Dr Kristy Allen, One Life Chiropractic

If you have fibromyalgia, and the pressure of a deep tissue massage has proved aggravating to your condition, consider a somatics bodywork treatment.  Somatics, however, is not just a good alternative to massage; it works well in combination with massage treatments.  Most of my somatics clients ARE massage therapists and bodyworkers.  i think that this speaks to the effectiveness of the work.

 

Pre-natal Massage- Gentle and relaxing, a pre-natal massage is pure bliss for the mother to be.  

 

Investing in bodywork is an investment in your health.

Not sure how long of a session to schedule?

I recommend scheduling an hour treatment for your first massage session.  At that time, I will access and make recomendations for follow-up sessions.  However, if you know that you would like a full body deep tissue massage, a 90 minute session is recommended. 

Somatic Bosywork sessions are generally 45 minutes.

   

"Touching hands are not like pharmaceuticals or scalpels.
They are like flashlights in a darkened room.
The medicine they administer is self-awareness.
And for many of our painful conditions this is the aid that is most urgently needed."
