I am a retired RN, an advanced reiki practitioner and a licensed massage therapist offering Hawaiian Bodywork (Lomilomi massage), Comfort Touch massage and energy therapy in Narberth, PA. I invite you to read more about these options below.

Where lomilomi is a flowing approach, Comfort Touch a more systematic "press and release" pattern that specific targets energetic pathways. It is very beneficial for clients that are managing difficult times such as chronic pain or illness or the side effects of cancer treatment. It is equally beneficial for clients experiencing emotional fragility due to the stresses of caregiving, loss or grief. This work feels supportive,  peaceful and soothing.

Intention and presence are important aspects of a my approach. Sessions are customized to the specific, individual needs of each client.  In my view, my work is not "just" massage. It is a means to let the mind quiet so that one can more directly body and spirit. Clients report a feeling deeply relaxed, yet invigorated and it is not uncommon for me to receive texts days later saying "I still feel so at peace!"

Lomilomi is a unique form of massage known for its flowing, dance-like strokes.  It does not compartmentalize the body into sections, but instead flows from shoulder to ankle, like a wave-like repetitive yet random pattern. This approach helps the mind to quiet as it is unable to oversee the massage (such as thoughts like "She is done with my shoulder already?").  The continuous motion, enhanced by warm oil and a serene setting, allows the client to reach a deeper level of relaxation. Clients report feeling both peaceful and rejuvenated. I welcome you to view the many beautiful videos of this work on UTube. 

Energy work can be incorporated into either massage modality (lomilomi or comfort massage) or can be a standalone session. I use a hands on approach incorporating reiki and Healing Touch, but can easily work hands off if that is the client's preference.  Crystal and essential oil therapy may be included at no additional charge.  Depending up the intention for the session and the client's interest, we may do a short guided visualization journey.
