  • Kirsten's deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscle tissue, tendons and fascia. She may incorporate Rolfing, trigger point or Craniosacral techniques to help release the chronic muscle tension.

    Kirsten's craniosacral massage is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, craniosacral massage can improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

    Kirsten's relaxation massage uses classic Swedish techniques where light to medium pressure is applied. The massage is designed to improve circulation, range of motion, relieve minor muscle pain, and promote overall relaxation.

    Testimonials

    "I have had massages for over 20 years and with over 200 hundred massage therapists. There is no one other therapist I have experienced that was more in tune with what I was looking to get out of a massage than Kirsten Swanson. Her laid back and yet obviously knowledgeable massage is by far the best I have received in 20 years."

    "Kirsten's personal approach to touch therapy is like no other. If you've had other professional massages, you will know the difference right away with Kirsten. I have been numerous times and will continue to go. She really helps you bridge the gap between your cerebral and physical self, allowing your body to heal and receive therapy. And it's so relaxing and peaceful, it's really a great experience. I recommend her all the way!"
