Intuitive Touch Massage Therapy is by far the best massage therapist I know. As a sufferer of back pain with two prolapsed discs and a sporty lifestyle, regular massage is very important to me and the skill of the therapist is paramount.

You can bring your own oils if you like, but they have the best selection. My skin feel amazing afterwords, so silky and smooth!

I really enjoyed the massage laying on my side, it was so comfy and I instantly relaxed which I usually find very hard to do. My tired body was very appreciative.

My friend can`t stop talking about how great the whole experience was, and we`ll definitely be recommending this to our friends and family.
- General Info
- In November 2012, I started taking a new series of classes learning a new modality of corrective bodywork called Bowen Work. Developed in the 50's by the late Tom Bowen from Australia, this work is very different from any type I've learned before. It's done by doing what are called Moves, a specific sequence of very deliberate motion done on specific points on the body that activate the brain and nervous system to trip our reset switch to release the holding patterns of trauma and stress. I have included more information from an article from Massage Magazine, Bowen work. In a single session, the therapist does a couple of Moves then leaves the room for a few minutes to allow the client's body to activate and process. The therapist returns and does a couple more Moves and leaves again. I love this gentle approach; its powerful work for the client allowing the innate intelligence of the clients' body to do the healing work. The body set up the holding patterns in times of trauma and stress and it knows how to release it. The therapist just gives it the signal to do so. This work is a stand-alone type of session. It's not done with other massage techniques. After a Bowen session, it's suggested to not have any other type of bodywork done for 5 to 7 days, which includes chiropractic, acupuncture, or other forms of massage. After a Bowen session, the brain and nervous system continues to unravel the old stresses held in those patterns for another 5 to 7 days. It's recommended to receive 1 session per week for 3 weeks to keep the brain and nervous system activated and continuing to work. I have been incredibly amazed at the long lasting shifts in my body after just 2 sessions. I am very body aware and could feel nerve pathways open and do reorganizing of the muscles, ligaments and the joint integrity as the unwinding happens. It's been my observance in working on clients for the past 18 years, not all people are as body aware. When we live in our heads and are cut off from feeling what's going on in our bodies until it screams in pain, some people don't feel any shifts during the session yet will feel a relief of pain after a few days that the body has been processing. The Bowen sessions can be extremely relaxing. I noticed drifting in and out of sleep as the session went on. For more info on Bowen work, go to bowenwork.com to read more of the history and more detail of what this incredible work is about. To schedule a Bowen session go to the appointments page, please read the page, it has some important instruction about booking your appointment. Or you can call my office number and have to play some phone tag with me. Either way is fine. I hope you will take the time to receive some Bowen sessions to experience for yourself the magic of the work.
