Welcome!
My name is Gail Warren and I thank you for visiting my web site. I have a private massage therapy practice
in downtown Sonora. I have been a therapist for over ten years in the Sierra foothills. I have studied a variety of techniques
and can customize an optimal treatment for you. These are some of the techniques I may incorporate into your massage
Swedish
Massage:
This classic method utilizes long flowing strokes on the body. This massage soothes sore muscles, improves circulation
and leaves you feeling peaceful and relaxed.
Lava Stone Massage:
This massage incorporates smooth heated basalt
stones into the treatment. Stones are placed along pressure points while the application of lotion on the warm stones are
used to massage the body. You are blanketed in warmth, as stones melt away stress.
Ashiatsu Bar Massage:
This is
a very unique treatment. Ashiatsu (pronunced Ah-SHEE-ought-su) is a Japanese word meaning 'foot pressure'. This technique
combines massage methods used in Thailand, Japan, and Southern India. Using overhead supports, I am able to apply very deep
soothing strokes to the muscles of the back of the body with my feet, utilizing my body weight. This is a truly wonderful
experience causing deep relaxation, relief from tight muscles, and a stimulation of your body's own self-healing capabilities.
Acupressure/Shiatsu:
Pressure
points are pressed and held along the body to release tension and to stimulate the body’s innate self healing capabilities.
All
of these techniques may be used in your treatment, depending on your needs, and this will be discussed prior to treatment
so I can customize your massage.
A good massage affects you on many different levels, everyone has the innate abilities
to heal themselves, and with skilled touch the results can be amazing.
Please do not hesitate to call with any questions
you may have.
