I am a massage therapist and posture coach. I have been Massaging for about 20 years and teaching posture for 10 years. I love what I do! I enjoy meeting and helping people feel better in their bodies. My clients get a brief consultation before any posture correction or bodywork. As a teacher of posture, I can often see what is bothering people by the way they carry themselves, stand, bend or sit. I always listen attentively and never make assumptions. I am so intrigued that every posture client or massage is slightly different. Every person that I touch has different needs. This is not a strictly mechanical process.
Aloha Dreaming Massage is based on Hawaiian lomi lomi movements that are adjusted in pressure and focus to suit the recipient’s needs. Sometimes the physical issues are the most prominent. Then that is where I focus my energy. My Posture training helps me tune into misalignments in the body caused by poor postural patterns. It gives me great pleasure help to release contracted muscles, free up tight joints and increase circulation. In some cases, it can be emotional issues causing blockages in the body. This does not mean I take on people’s issues or do something completely different every time. It does involve empathy and tuning into what is appropriate for each individual. Looking at things in this way, I act as a catalyst to help remove blockages and free up energy that causes pain and discomfort. Sometimes my bodywork can be quite deep in certain areas holding onto a lot of tension. But it is always balanced with gentle movements to make the experience pleasurable overall.
I love the work I do. Whether posture work or massaging, I get pleasure from it, almost as much as the person receiving it. I recommend a 90-minute session as this work allows the person to relax and unwind. After a period of time, with posture correction or massage, the body starts to let go. It is exciting to see a physical change in the muscles as they soften and become less rope-like. People often ask me if I am tired after giving a massage. This is never the case for me. It is so gratifying to see the transformations as they occur and hear my clients say that they feel lighter, freer and more relaxed. Some people are totally energised when I’m through and some just want to rest and savour the experience. It is always a very personal outcome for each recipient… and It is always rewarding for me to know that I have assisted them in feeling better.
I also do Reiki and EFT. These are offered if asked for.
