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.
