Feldenkrais Functional Integration® (clothed)  

Misha Forrester     1 ¼  hour     $95   

Custom tailored for the individual, using very gentle manipulations, these sessions convey theexperience of comfort, pleasure, and ease of movement. With Misha's informed touch explore more efficient, effective patterns of mobility. The primary goal is to build a keener sense of proprioception (the important sensory modality in your brain that gives you awareness of your body's internal responses and self-regulates posture and movement). Learn how to "organize" your body motions to move in an expanded, functional manner throughout your entire musculoskeletal being for long-lasting benefits. Great for anyone with minor aches and pains, hip, feet, or shoulder restrictions, serious neurological problems, as well as those who simply want to move with greater grace, freedom and ease.

 

Restorative Massage (unclothed, draped)

Misha Forrester      1 ¼ hour   $95

This technique generally employs oil or lotion on the skin in a circulatory manner to relax and release toxins from the muscles and return blood flow toward the heart, but it can also focus on gentler, skin manipulations for specific lymph drainage needs. Massage keep tendons and ligaments supple and pliable while manipulating, organizing, and aligning layers of skin and fascia. Firm, gentle pressure using stroking, kneading, friction, vibration, tapping, soft shaking, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, moderate range of motion stretches, and energy work (Reiki and Polarity) are a collection of modern techniques employed in this modality, bringing about holistic benefits for the body and mind.

 

Note: This is a custom designed massage. Pressure, techniques, and use of oils are reduced depending one's medical or dietary needs.
