About Me
It is an honor to be your Massage Therapist.
I am a practitioner who truly believes in the value of bodywork, and so far, had the privilege to touch over 30,000 amazing people of all walks of life. Because of my love for this work and for YOU as a unique human being, I am committed to personal and professional development, bringing to the table acceptance, knowledge and my undivided presence. With this intention, I create a heart-to-heart coherence which provides safety and relaxation
I have been offering Bodywork since 1983. After my massage training in Zurich Switzerland, I furthered my education in the USA.
My Unique Set-Up
I work in the comfort of my home which is in a safe neighborhood, quiet with some exceptions. Parking is always available in my driveway. I create a big enough window between clients to guarantee privacy, and to welcome you at the door when you arrive. The time in between allows me to reset, relax and to be ready for you. That being said, all sessions end at the appointed time, unless the session start time was delayed by me.
Evening sessions are available.
Benefits of Bodywork
- Each massage is a unique and personal experience. It can be educational and can increase awareness.
- In general, bodywork can reduce pain and muscle tension, allowing energy to move more freely.
- Different techniques or pressure promotes healthy circulation.
- My Therapeutic Massage can also improve flexibility and mobility.
- A massage can decrease stress, lower your cortisol level, and activate neurotransmitters (like Serotonin and Dopamine) which can bring us into a state of relaxation and provide a sense of well-being.
- Can help with the digestive system.
- A massage can be helpful for people who deal with Anxiety and Depression.
- Receiving a Massage (or Energy work) is a time to let go and to be.
- A regular massage is an investment for your health.
Protocol and Guidelines
- Sessions begin at the appointed time, at which point, I take about 5 minutes to check in, talking about what’s appropriate and important for your session. For energy work sessions, the check in might take a little longer.
- You can ask me anything about my experience, trainings and techniques but refrain from asking multiple questions about my personal life unless they are somehow related to the session. This time is for YOU. It is not about me.
- Every session starts with a breath awareness and/or a centering. Why a breath awareness? Focusing on the breath brings us into the present moment. Deep breathing releases stress and tension.
- During the session I am committed to being fully present. In other words, my mind needs to be where my hands are. Engaging in “small talk” that has nothing to do with the present moment creates disharmony and incoherence. The thinking mind gets activated which is counterproductive to the parasympathetic nervous system. Of course, a conversation has to happen when it is essential for your safety, comfort and well-being. Dialogues may occur during an Energy Session.
- I take my work seriously. It is a privilege to serve as a Massage Therapist and Energy Worker. I love my work, and I hope I will be able to offer my services many more years to come. Any session, whether it is Massage, Energy Work or Reflexology, has profound value for your well-being—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. In silence, we can experience relaxation, body awareness and healing.
- At the end of the session, I might say an affirmation or a closing word. All sessions end at the appointed time. I invite you to get up slowly for safety reasons, and to get dressed in a timely manner.
With gratitude,
What People Are Saying
Great setup. Warm, calming, super-mindful of cleanliness. I got the reflexology treatment and it felt AMAZING! And I learned about how my feet affect the rest of my body in the process. Erika does such a wonderful job and cares very much for her clients. You can’t go wrong.
Erika is extraordinarily talented. She is intuitive, intentional and individualizes each session specifically to your needs. She is also very COVID conscious. I would highly recommend her services.
