Massage

During a massage I take the time to understand you’re looking for, and develop a plan to suit your needs. I blend a variety of styles, such as deep tissue, myofascial unwinding, and trigger point therapy. I’m thankful for the many brilliant teachers I’ve had in my life, including Mike Hamm in Seattle. I’m also a student of Iyengar Yoga, studying under Richard Schactel. Iyengar Yoga is useful for bringing proper alignment to the body, so I often recommend specific poses to maintain and continue the work that we started on the table.

I have found massage to be effective therapy for:

Muscle Tension
Sore Joints
Back Pain (or any pain)
Nerve Pain
Fibromyalgia
Postural Alignment
Workplace or Motor Vehicle Injuries
Headaches / Migraines
Trigger Finger / Carpal Tunnel
Repetitive Stress Injuries
Stress / Anxiety / Depression / Greif
Scar work
Pre- and post- surgery, with approval by doctor
and more!

Rebecca is the first massage therapist I have met who could be called a “bodywork” practitioner. Upon meeting her I quickly realized that her approach to her massage practice aligned perfectly with that of other wholistic healers in my life like my doctor, my physical therapist and my Taoist Studies teacher with whom I study Qui Gong and Tai Chi. She understands energetic pathways in the body equally to our physical structures. Over the past months, she has worked out the subtle relationships between these in order to restore health across both. In particular her therapy has helped reduce swelling and increase lymphatic drainage in my leg and these results have proved long lasting, and reduced pain greatly throughout the whole length of my leg and all its joints. In addition Rebecca has also taught me simple techniques I can do on my own to continuously manage my own health. All of this has made a great difference in my life. I consider her a skilled and invaluable healer.

Rebecca is a true master and healer in bodywork and I cannot recommend her enough in the art of massage. She has excellent hands-on and technical skills, with an intricate understanding of the connections between muscle and tendon within the body. I felt she was a true artist in this respect, as her feel for massage was so focused and detailed oriented. She has expertise in multiple techniques and is a mentor and collaborator in her field. Rebecca is also empathetic and a great listener in building a close and harmonious relationship her clients. I fully trusted Rebecca with my body and mind. I have seen dozens of massage therapists and always felt like I was seeing the best when I saw Rebecca. I am happy to recommend Rebecca to anyone!
