MASSAGE THERAPY

In terms of “manual” aka massage therapy, Maggie's approach is primarily orthopedic, focuses on relaxation and restoration. Optimal and appropriate breathing, sensory motor awareness, spinal alignment and joint support are emphasized.

 

PILATES

Maggie's approach to movement is much like her massage: primarily orthopedic, relaxed and restorative. Optimal and appropriate breathing, sensory motor awareness, spinal alignment and joint support are emphasized. With the use of a Balanced Body Reformer and various self massage techniques, you can learn about your whole Self through kinesthetic embodiment. Increased muscle tone, balance, stability and flexibility can be achieved through this methodical and empowering path to physical fitness.

 

SOMATIC EXPERIENCING informed BODYWORK

Somatic Experiencing (SE™) is a body-oriented therapeutic approach to healing trauma and other stress disorders. Maggie's intent with SE™ is to create a safe container for the facilitation of self awareness; to increase tolerance of bodily sensations and reduce reactive states of self protection that create barriers to self care. The process of somatic therapy is one of deep listening and observation, slowing down, becoming curious, present and alert. While Maggie's (SE™) Sessions are not "massage" nor "talk therapy", touch may be used to ensure co-regulation and verbal communication is the primary way we attune to your nervous system. An introductory session and commitment to a series is required to engage in this work.
