HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT
A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.
Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.
A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders.

The work that Kristin has done on my dance injuries has been life changing. She is intuitive and has extensive knowledge. If I continue to teach into my 60s (!!!!!) it will be in large part due to her healing abilities.

Kristin is incredibly sensitive--she clearly has a gift. A massage from her is therapeutic, healing, relaxing and invigorating, all at once.
