Pure Presence, Body Resonance.
This is so much more than a massage, and includes Reflexology and Full Body Therapeutic Traditional Massage blending styles and techniques from Holistic/Swedish, Thai, Shiatsu and Neuromuscular Trigger Pointing Sports Massage work customized to you.
Using Myofascial techniques we tune directly into you. Starting lightly at the surface then together, feeling deeply and sensitively through the entire body, we find where fascial restrictions are held tightly layered in the emotions and events of life experiences. By helping bring awareness into these areas where the demands of daily life have taken their toll, we bring light and energy in, where we’ve previously forced our consciousness out, in order not to feel the pain of injury, be it physical or emotional.
This technique is carefully blended into a massage bodywork session where heat and light energy build in the body; knots and adhesions melt with ease like warm butter or taffy stretching. It is truly a unique experience we are eager to share with you and know you will feel transformed into a whole new way of being in your body with a session of this work.
It is as accessible as any form of traditional massage, energy or bodywork. As a practitioner I am tuned to help you feel this with ease and blend it into your traditional feel good or deep tissue pressure styles and get all our modalities in a single session.
Highly Skilled Effective Fascia Release Facilitation blended into a comfortable massage customized to your comfort using therapeutic pressures into deep tissue levels desired.
Sessions are never rushed. Our time between appointments is allowed for going over as needed for the session to complete.
You will receive and benefit from certified reflexology on hands and feet as well as cranio sacral unwinding techniques with body rolling rebounding work applied throughout the body and joints while using subtle energy techniques known as therapeutic touch.
Hot towels, aromatherapy & mild topical magnesium supplements are included with every session.

Fascial Facial
Return the youthful glow and perk to your face, hair/scalp and much more.
This restorative therapeutic service goes deeper than a facial skin treatment. It is an excellent complimentary option to your Esthetician Skin/Beauty care.
One of the more attractive features of this work is the immediate temporary Age Reversing effects you notice in one session. This accumulates in a few sessions to maintain a more youthful appearance with occasional returns before your special occasions where you want to look and feel your best.
Beyond this, The Fascial Facial includes cervical/thoracic releases in neck, throat, jaw, facial & cranial bones which will naturally begin to lift, adjust, float and move with more ease between the fixed joints increasing circulation to all areas immediately under the skin, relieving sinus, allergy, anxieties, symptoms of depression, tmj, jaw pain, headache symptoms and more.
For chronic conditions after some experience with this work, we do offer inter-oral and inter-nasal release techniques going beyond what can be done from the outer surfaces of the head and get even deeper whole body adjustments by floating and freeing up cranial bones thru the nasal passages and in the mouth on teeth, roof and gums.
The Cranial Vault (Skull Bones) are directly connected to the hips/sacral bones helping ease other whole body symptoms from working only at the face.

Fascia Release Facilitation
The John F Barnes Myofascial Release Approach
This work is trained in, taught to, and performed by Physical Therapists, Licensed/Qualified Massage Therapists, Reflexologists, Occupational Therapists, Physical and Occupational Therapist Assistants, Nurses, MDs, Acupuncturists and some Chiropractors.
While the training has at least some 60 years, in the making, of highly developed proven methodology, specific holds and techniques, a set of core principles and essential foundations, working with a vast body of scientific knowledge, understanding, backed by the science data that have more recently been measured and medical journaled; It is ultimately an Art and way of being and becoming for both practitioner and patient/client/recipient of the work. And so, each individual practitioner, while sticking to the foundations, holds and techniques learned as taught, brings their unique individual talents and background to the work and sessions.
Myself, as a massage therapist, with thousands of hours of palpation and touch on every appropriate inch of years and thousands hours of client bodies, have developed a deep sensitivity, intuition and combined it with the foundations, leadership and mentorship of the training to employ a high skilled sensitive touch that reaches deeply and multi-dimensionally into the body.
It tends to have a flow more than strict holds but always remain firmly adhered and grounded in the principles as taught. Where indicated we stick to the manuals and protocol sustained hold to achieve results in chronic conditions as needed.

With this booking we can choose to work undressed & draped to your comfort level like a traditional massage or wearing comfortable loose fitting shorts (standard underwear and sports top or swimwear for women) when doing traditional work where we start with standing visual assessments on alignment and continue to allow the therapist to see the client’s body for signs on the skin and around the body as we treat that can guide where to treat further and indicate problem areas in the body.
This method is best for experienced clients working in unwinding where freedom to move and free from concern of undraping is needed. Treatment clothing guidelines also apply to those new to this work who want to be treated strictly in this method, not keeping the body heavy allowing for deeper release to occur through movement, visceral action/reaction or whatever comes up in this safe treatment space.
Subtle Energy Clearing
Working in traditions of therapeutic touch from standing positions in casual clothing to lying down or prone both off and on the body in supportive energy work, holding space and clearing congestion. This is an excellent choice if you feel fatigue or other stress or enjoy feeling amazing afterwards and do not want a massage or other more hands-on treatment that we offer.

Certified Reflexology:
Reflexology Hour
Popularly known as work on the feet, be sure to seek out a therapist who is specifically trained or treats exclusively in this modality if you want to be sure you’re getting more than a foot massage.
In this full length session, we have time to address all areas used in certified hand, foot & ear reflexology.
We use hot towels to warm, comfort & clean the area spending time both massaging and stimulating reflexes in the hands, feet and ears. Aromatherapy and moisturizing creams are used when massaging for added restorative, cleansing and sensory benefit.
When working the feet we massage the entire area including the ankles and lower legs up to the knees helping with relaxation, waste elimination & redirection back into body fluids between all tissues and cells to be picked up by the lymphatic system, filtered through the blood and out of the body as waste.
Our body does this daily on its own. And while general massage and lymph drainage massage are both methods for helping this process, Reflexology, on one level, works to break up and release mineralized deposits that form commonly in the feet and return them to the blood for waste elimination.
Reflexology is considered to be a researched based therapy having traced pathways from all parts and systems of the body to nerve endings in the feet, hands and valuable points in the ears. At Custom Therapeutic we take it a step further accessing the fascial system in the entire body here as well as nerve pathways.
Book Now
Foot Reflexology Half Hour
Using hot towels,cream & aromatherapy, we focus on the feet and lower legs using massage & trigger pointing pressure directly on the reflexes. While the treatment overall is relaxing there will be areas of pain/discomfort.
We access all parts of the body via treatment only on the feet inducing a deep healing relaxation and stimulation effect on all organs, organ systems, endocrine glands (horomones) responsible for growth, mood, energy, focus, appetite, reproduction, sense of safety, personal power, weight loss/gain & more; physical areas of the body like the sinuses, eyes, ears, neck, head, shoulders, spine, hips, knees, chest, throat.
We not only stimulate the areas but are able to observe signs of your health or symptoms you experience in various parts of the body while feeling the condition and properties of the corresponding area on the feet. It serves well as an indicator to your therapist towards treatment focus and areas related to conditions/symptoms prompting more accurate inquiry about your health experiences. At Custom Therapeutic we take it a step further accessing the fascial system in the entire body here as well as the nerve pathways.

LaStone Therapy
Basalt stone placement at safely heated temperatures over chakra areas along the spine and/or abdomen w corresponding gem stones and your therapist’s touch to achieve mild piezo electric effects in the body. Effects which are achieved more powerfully during resonance between therapist and client in our John F Barnes Myofascial Release Facilitation & Whole Body Services. Nevertheless, it can be a solid grounding stillness addition to the chakra areas when used in the placement methods simply through their weight, warmth and conductivity structure forged deep in granite earth thousands of years ago.
The chakras, more practically explained are known as spinning wheels of light(energy). They correspond with each gland of the endocrine system, our hormones responsible for growth, mood, energy, focus, appetite, reproduction, sense of safety, personal power, weight loss/gain and more. I like to think of it as the places where mind meets matter and our thought-response patterns while living, acting or reacting in our environment manifest in our physical body through electro-chemical process.
We also massage with stones on the hands, feet, toes and other major areas like the back, neck, abdomen, arms and legs, with an option to place a heated pillow stone at the base of the neck while lying prone and place stones in your hands, behind the knees to promote joy, relaxation and circulation while getting massaged.
A nice choice for the extra warmth and deep tissue penetration the stones provide. This is like two full body massages in one as we cover every area with massage and massaging stones. Hot/Cold Stone use over areas upon request.

Deep Tissue
Where holistic Swedish styles end, deep tissue begins. It focuses on all layers of muscle. It is a popular choice for those seeking pressure feedback from their session. Deep tissue helps, and attempts to, return muscle to normal healthy patterns, forcing blood flow, returning oxygen & nutrition to the cells momentarily. Generally not for the entire body in one session it evolves by thoroughly preparing areas and layers with friction, heat, pressure working towards trigger pointing problem areas. This method is not for everyone.
It is unnecessary for your experienced Custom Therapeutic and Myofascial Release specialist. It is a taxing form of treatment on client and practitioner. However we do believe in the benefits of momentary push/force for some client goals where say performance recovery times are a concern as part of a heavy profesional training schedule for example. We also recognize the feel good factor for those of us who do enjoy deep pressure massage in many areas of our body.
We offer this service to honor this need as a starting point for communication. Keep in mind our full body custom service is a deeply relaxing, effective, lasting therapy by which more advanced methods ensure you get the pressure feel you need, break up those knots with momentary targeted deeper pressure timed when the body or area has been prepared to release itself.
Important Note: Conditions in our body cause excessive need for heavy pressure. Our whole body approach addresses this.
