What is bodywork and what is a good practitioner?

It is my hope and intention that by sharing these thoughts and teachings I have learned you will feel more empowered and educated about receiving bodywork. What is bodywork? It is the art and science of applying techniques using hands or bodies with the objective of positively affecting the health and well-being of the receiver. There are countless types of massage therapy. Some are given clothed on a mat, and others with draping on a table. Some offer deep pressure and some offer light. Some use oil and some use no lubricant at all. And many are everywhere in between.

The most important thing is to find a practitioner who listens to your needs. Receiving bodywork can be a invaluable experience to anyone experiencing stress in their lives (everyone). Ask your friends and colleagues to recommend someone they trust. If you are local to Fairfield or New Haven County, Connecticut, please feel free to email me - I am happy to point you in a safe and therapeutic direction.
