Massage Therapy

Why do we pay for psychotherapy when massages cost half as much?

— Jason Love

My approach to Massage Therapy

massasge therapy boulder, co

In my massage therapy work my intention is to listen to to you – your body as well as your words and to find out what most serves you. It is a conversation – between my sensing, feeling hands, my sensing feeling body and your body. I work very intuitively, responding to that conversation.

The emphasis can vary quite a bit – some people come for deep relaxation and letting go. Others come for stress management and relief from anxiety. Others desire very specific work, addressing specific pain from an injury or accident or a surgery.

I tailor each session to your specific needs. Sometimes I use only massage, sometimes I bring in other modalities, such as  Ortho-bionomy, Craniosacral Therapy, Polarity Therapy or Trauma Resolution to address those needs.

Often my sessions are a combination of different modalities, but above all I honor your wishes.

massage specialist boulderBenefits of Massage Therapy

Massage has many powerful health benefits and can help you maintain physical, mental and emotional well being.

Massage Therapy is especially beneficial when it is part of your regular wellness routine.

Benefits include:

  • relief from acute or chronic pain
  • relief and prevention of muscle tension, spasms and cramps
  • improved blood circulation to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the soft tissue
  • calming of the nervous system to promote a sense of relaxation and well being
  • stress reduction and better ability to deal with stress
  • reduced anxiety and better sleep quality
  • help with soft tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue
  • reduction of post-surgery adhesions and swelling, as well as more joint flexibility
  • stimulation of the lymphatic system, which carries away the body’s waste products and boosts the immune system

Massage is a wonderful tool to help the muscles release tension due to injuries, trauma, stress as well as emotional holding,

Most of the time tension is held unconsciously and most people don’t even feel it until it becomes extreme and sometimes painful. Over time chronic tension can lead to pain and degeneration in the body.

Massage can help to decrease existing tension and prevent tension from building up.

Massage Therapy Ortho-bionomyDifferent types of Massage

Relaxation Massage

  • often includes the whole body ( private areas are never touched), with  emphasis on areas where the most tension is held
  • emphasis is on calming and soothing the nervous system and full body relaxation
  • other modalities, such as Polarity or Craniosacral are often incorporated to address nervous system regulation ( helping the nervous system shift out of fight&flight mode)

Deep Tissue Massage

  • reaches deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue
  • concentrates more on specific areas of pain or injury
  • helps to release chronic tension or adhesions
  • might include trigger point therapy – trigger points are tender, congested spots in the muscle tissue that can radiate pain to other areas

Massage Therapy near youWhat does a Massage session look like?

At first we will spend a few moments talking about what you would like to focus on during your session.  Then I leave a room and let you undress to your level of comfort in privacy.

During your session you will be lying on a massage table, either on your back, on your front or your side, covered by a sheet.

During the session I uncover only the areas I am working on and private areas remain covered the entire time and will never be touched.

I usually use a massage lotion, but if you are allergic to any oils or lotions, you can also bring your own.

I was really pleased with the results of my 5-month old daughter having six sessions with Ines. Before we came in, my daughter, Cailyn, held her head to the right side much more often than the left and seemed to have a sensitive spot at the back of her head. At times she had a hard time calming down or going to sleep. After Ines helped to release some tension, we noticed her movements were much more symmetrical, the extra sensitivity at the back of her head was gone and there was a dramatic diff… Read more

Before we started working with Ines, my son was experiencing some pronounced anxiety, hyperactivity, inability to follow classroom expectations and sensory processing challenges. Through cranio sacral therapy, Ines was able to significantly help reduce my son’s challenging behaviors. He was noticeably calmer, better focused and less anxious in the days following a session with Ines. We even saw improvements in his fine motor skills and a significant decrease in his emotional meltdowns. Our … Read more

I got into a car accident in which I suffered impact from significant whiplash. I worked extensively with both a neuromuscular massage therapist and a chiropractor. After one year of care, I noticed that I had sustained injury. This is when I began to work with Ines. I specifically sought out working with Ines because of her combined expertise in massage, craniosacral therapy, and trauma re-negotiation. I knew that the combination of these three modalities, given from an expert practitioner, cou… Read more

I started seeing Ines for massage therapy, but quickly found that she offers much, much more. I’ve continued working with her during a time of stressful life changes because her unique ability to combine massage with other powerful therapeutic techniques provides such a deeply nourishing experience. Ines is a healer with remarkable skill, insight and genuine warmth… her approach is empowering! This work integrates support for mind, body and spirit… helps me connect to my inner strengths…… Read more

Last spring I experienced severe low back pain for the first time in my life, where I could not sleep, I could not sit or work.  I went to see Ines for Ortho-Bionomy sessions to find relief.  I was expecting that fire must be fought with fire – that only deep pressure would make a difference to pain this intense.  When Ines started to work with subtle movements I thought I got roped into some Boulder BS, that this surely wouldn’t effect any change.  To my surprise I found that after 2 sessions m… Read more

I am a creative and ambitious person with a tendency to work too hard, fill my calendar with too much, and drink way too much coffee to get through it all. Overall I have a healthy lifestyle, but my stressful (and fun) lifestyle is hard on my nervous system. When I saw Ines, I was looking for an enjoyable massage that might relax some knots I carry in my calves and shoulders. What I received was far more than I could have imagined. I received the enjoyable massage for sure, but Ines also introdu… Read more
