Massage in Oakbank and Victoria Beach, Manitoba
There’s something deeply healing about human touch. Scientists say it’s because massage releases endorphins, and that may
be true. But I believe it’s also about something more—the feeling of beingaccepted, seen, and cared for. Touch meets our fundamental need for connection, love, and acceptance.
There are many names for different types of massage, but after more than 20 years of experience, I’ve learned that people always receive the massage they need in the moment, no matter the label.
For me, massage is an exchange of energy. When I place my hands on you, I do so with deep respect and gratitude for the trust you’ve given me. Every stroke is filled with care and appreciation for your body just as it is. I don’t see flaws—only beauty in the design and perfection in your uniqueness.
I believe there are two types of massage experiences:
-
Deep Relaxation & Healing Massage – This is where you can fully let go, allowing me to work intuitively while you drift into deep relaxation. Healing happens naturally as your body releases tension. This includes therapeutic, relaxation, prenatal, and hot stone massages.
-
Massage with Somatic Release – This requires your active participation. It’s a guided approach that helps you become aware of and release long-held tension. Once you learn the technique, you can continue the healing process on your own.
Whether you need a soothing escape or a hands-on healing experience, I am here to support you on your wellness journey.
Massage With Somatic Release
The body has a great wisdom. Pain and other symptoms of discomfort are not a problem, but rather a symptom with a story that affects our nervous system. Somatic release heals the nervous system and creates true calm. Relaxation massage is combined with simple directions that may assist in the release of long held aches and pains.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage improves circulation, and decrease the amount of stress hormones in your system. Massage also increases the levels of your feel good hormones dopamine and serotonin, and decrease tension in your muscle
Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy causes an incredible change in a woman's body, and the increased levels of the hormone relaxing in the body causes the body to shift and and muscles to stretch. During the time of change, massage can help relieve tension and decrease recovery time after delivery.
Hot Stone Therapy
Heated flat lava stones of varying sizes are used to massage the body. The heated stones relax the tissue allowing me to work deeper into the muscle. Stones are heated in hot water to the right temperature, coated in oil and are then used directly in the hands of the therapist delivering various massaging strokes.
Reflexology
Reflexology is also known as acupuncture without needles. A form of the practice dates back to ancient Egypt, but only became modernized and developed in the 20th century. The basis behind it is that the reflexes of the feet are a mirror image of all the organs, glands, and parts of the body. It creates a deep flushing of toxins, increases circulation, and breaks up congestion in organs caused by inflammation. Treatments can relieve chronic pain and headaches, support women's health, decrease general fatigue, and speed up recovery from surgery and injuries.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating the functioning of the craniosacral system—comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Craniosacral therapy is most often utilized to treat neurological disorders including ADHD, autism, ringing in the ears and acute stress reaction.
