Every session will be customized based on what each client needs and what is appropriate to the amount of time scheduled.  

A trauma-informed massage is an approach to practice rather than a massage technique.  It involves fostering trust, safety, clear communication, and collaboration with clients in order to reduce the chances of inadvertently causing additional harm.  In addition to an approach that can be applied more generally, it can be a stand-alone session that includes a gentler approach and incorporates mindfulness, breath work, and dialogue.  Note: it is not psychotherapy.
