Sessions include an extra half-hour for intake, dressing and undressing, and payment, so make sure to plan for the full time. A 60-minute massage means you get a full 60-minutes of hands-on treatment time, and you will be at the office for 90 minutes total. When you arrive we will discuss what is creating your pain and tension and ways to address the underlying issues and habits.

House Calls
You must have enough room to set up a massage table plus a few feet around it for me to work. I will bring the table for the first two sessions, but if you want to have regular home visits you must purchase a table. I am unable to carry the table upstairs, so if you have stairs, please make sure there is someone who can bring the table up.
$350 for a minimum 90-minute session.
Modalities
Nurturing Therapeutic Massage
Does your body hurt? Do you need to chill out? I can help!
Based on Swedish massage techniques it can be as deep or as light as you need. Using my deep intuition and knowledge of body alignment I will craft a massage to work out your kinks, fix what ails you, and leave you feeling fabulous.
Pre and Post-Natal Massage
Do your hips hurt? Are you worried about Diastasis Recti? Do you need some time to yourself to relax and recoup?
A safe, nurturing, yet effective massage can help relieve sciatica, tension, pain, and swelling.
I have the pregnancy pillow to comfortably and safely lie face-down, or lots of pillows for fully supported side-lying.
Reiki
Reiki is a pure healing energy channeled by someone who has received the Reiki initiation. It is a non-intentional practice, meaning the practitioner is not directing the energy in any way, but allowing your body to draw it to where it is needed. Most people experience deep peace and relaxation during a Reiki session.
Connective Tissue Massage
Do you have chronic pain? An injury or surgery that just won’t get better?
Connective Tissue Massage can help! Based on Rolfing, this technique is often used for focus on a particular area, old or recent injury, or a recurring pain.
It is particularly effective in treating tendonitis, muscle spasms, carpal tunnel syndrome, scar tissue, misalignment, and decreased range of motion.
Cranio Sacral
Does your body feel stuck from the inside? Do you feel like you just can’t figure out what the problem is?
Cranio Sacral can help! A relaxing, gentle yet very deep technique that works with the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid to find and release deep tension and holding patterns. This is a very light-touch modality, employing gentle holds. It can be booked for a full session, with the client fully clothed, or incorporate into a massage session.
Cranio-Sacral can be especially helpful with chronic neck, head and TMJ pain, as well as hip and lower back pain.
“Ariel helped me through a chronic injury that I'd seen a doctor and 2 physical therapists about. No one was able to resolve my issue. Ariel explained to me what was going on. (An old hamstring injury had settled into a big muscle knot, which was causing strain to my knee.) She recommended a series of massages to gradually soften and melt away the knot in my hamstring. It worked! I'd resigned myself to never running or playing soccer again, and now I am back in the game!”
