One of the better massages I've gotten
My dream in life is to have two things -- a fresh pair of socks and a massage everyday. I can't afford to have either right now, but Derek's massage gave me a taste of that dream today.

Swedish/Deep Tissue combined with Thai Yoga (acupressure and passive stretching) or Neuromuscular Release
*When your muscles are sore, tight or stiff, you have an injury or chronic pain, when you need lots of touch or when you need a full body makeover!
CranioSacral Therapy combined with Reiki energy work or SomatoEmotional Release
When you are wanting to reduce your stress levels and heal your nervous system or immune system or when you are healing from wounds or surgery or illnesses and conditions discussed below. Or when you have been traumatized in the past and your unhappiness has not been relieved by psychotherapy or medications.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) —emotional release work
(A type of behavioral kinesiology) helps to rid you of negative patterns, traumas and behaviors using a combination of affirmations, muscle testing, light tapping of acupressure points and neurolinguistic programming. It can clear mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks as well as money issues, relationship stress, and memories of abuse. It is useful with fear of public speaking, anxiety issues, school performance, self-esteem issues, weight problems, anger issues, sports performance and nightmares.
Private Yoga Lessons
Whether rigorous (ashtanga and vinyasa) or gentle and therapeutic (restorative) my lessons feature correct alignment in each pose, flow style sequencing for aerobic conditioning and detoxification, and strength building exercises to develop elastic muscles. I also teach meditation and breathing exercises to still the mind and purify the emotions, chanting to sooth the heart, and deep relaxation (yogic sleep) to bring the body and mind into perfect balance and overcome past conditioning, traumas and addictions.
A true “healer,” I use varieties of bodywork, energy work, counseling, hypnosis and yoga to help you heal physically, mentally and spiritually. My touch is nurturing, soothing, and deep on request. I use a table and prefer to work at my Village studio.
