About Me

Education/Experience

 I have received 800 hours of accredited schooling involving extensive anatomy, aroma therapy, deep tissue massage, general massage, trigger point massage, structural integration/connective tissue bodywork and neuromuscular reprogramming. I am a Certified CMT, practicing in Willits, Ca, as Spartan Bodyworks, with 18 years experience.

During our massage session all of my intent will be focused on your specific pain issues. My work is very slow and sensitive in its touch. I do not give "cookie cutter" massages. you will receive  genuinely "site specific" bodywork that will enable you to feel a positive change in your overall well being.

Modalities available to you:

1. Relaxing deep tissue massage tailored to your personal preference of tissue depth.

2. Myofascial Structural Integration work will restore proper range of motion to muscularly impaired limbs, (some exceptions may apply), correct postural imbalances, hip/shoulder/neck alignment, most foot and hand issues, releases pain causing stress in the musculature caused by scar tissue, and much much more! This bodywork is not like your normal massage that you are accustomed to. I urge you to check out the website where I went to school to learn this, in Miami Florida.....Jon Latz Institute for Structural Integration. (read the article on connective tissue for a better understanding of this wonderful modality)

3. Neuromuscular style trigger point work which according to the National Pain Management clinic is the most effective form of massage for chronic and acute pain relief!

Special Perks:

I want your session to be a wonderful experience. To help achieve this I employ the following:

1. hydraulically operated massage table with 3" memory foam topper

2. thermostatically heated table pad and additional Theratherm 17"x24" moist heat pack for specific painful areas

3. Best quality flannel sheets money can buy.....thick, soft and luxurious!

4. Very costly therapeutic essential oils to match your pain and emotional needs.

5. custom face cradle with 3" memory foam topper

Summary:

I have suffered much neck shoulder and sciatica pain over the years, especially in my younger days when I worked as a journeyman pipe fitter/welder/mechanic. I wish I knew then what I know now! If you are experiencing severe long time chronic pain, I feel it too! I've been there! I know how debilitating it is, causing limited range of motion, sleepless nights, and worst of all the hopeless feeling that overwhelms you when you have endless pain. The work I do is not what you would consider a typical "massage" (unless that is all you want). There is no guarantee but the type of bodywork you will receive from me should give you noticeable relief after just one session and depending on your situation may be all you need. Long time injuries and musculature distortions may take several sessions to address but you will feel the relief and progress all the way! Once most of my clients get "stabilized" they usually choose to set up regular maintenance sessions that fit into their personal schedules and pocket book.
