Amanda’s Massage Style

Amanda loves to do therapeutic body work. While their style does include deep and sometimes challenging work, they strive to cooperate with the nervous system, tailoring each session to what both the brain and body need.

Amanda’s style is client-led and exploratory, blending several techniques to find and release areas of tension, such as trigger point work, accupressure, deep tissue massage, swedish massage, and myofascial release. Their pressure tends to settle between medium and firm, adjusting for each individual’s musculature and fascia.

Amanda welcomes verbal feedback during the massage, but is also on the lookout for nonverbal communication from the body (whether that be signs of comfort, such as snoring, or discomfort, such as a muscle reflexively clenching) to guide the depth, intensity, and pace of massage.

Massage is often depicted as a silent, meditative activity, but that quiet style doesn’t fit for every person or every session. Your nervous system may be more regulated by chatting aimlessly or sharing your experience of the massage. Amanda mirrors your conversation level during session.
