About my services
Pain & Symptom Management
I primarily work with clients who have chronic pain and tension patterns, digestive problems, TMJ, headaches and injuries. Massage Therapy and other Bodywork are Medical Treatments that may decrease pain, down-regulate your nervous system, improve digestion, encourage better sleep and aid in stress management. I share patients with local doctors, dentists, TMJ specialists, chiropractors, physical therapists and mental health counselors.
Stress Management
Finding balance in our lives is crucial to our overall health. I firmly believe that Self Care IS Health Care. We all need times of quiet and calm. Bodywork is a great way to receive healthy, non-sexual touch and give yourself a much needed break from daily stressors. Receiving touch therapies at Gaia Massage & Yoga, LLC in Wausau, WI can decrease mental and emotional stress and physical tension.
Integrative Massage & Bodywork
Integrative Massage Therapy & Bodywork
Most clients receive an integrative massage/bodywork. This is a therapeutic bodywork session that may combine several styles of therapeutic massage and bodywork: such as Myofascial Release, Swedish (relaxation) massage, Deep Tissue massage, the use of essential oils, Neuromuscular Therapy, Reflexology, Acupressure, Reiki and more. Depending on how the tissues are responding, additional tools may be used such as silicon/glass cups, stainless steel/stone/wood gua sha scrapers, hot stones, moist heat or ice. The goal of Integrative Massage is to melt away soft tissue tension and increase the blood, lymph and energy flow while down-regulating the nervous system. Integrative Massage is very therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins and hypertonicity, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
Energy Balancing
I have studied a variety of Western and Oriental techniques in my quest to understand the body and what it means to inhabit this human body. Check out the some of the styles I offer by clicking over my services page below.
