Amber specializes in the following therapeutic modalities:
Swedish Massage
Amber is classically-trained in Swedish Massage and uses a variation that focuses on soothing, long strokes. The slow, even pressure of this technique increases circulation, which increases blood-flow that oxygenates muscle tissue, relaxes, and stimulates healing.

Deep Tissue Massage
Amber is also trained in the highly therapeutic deep tissue release of Myotherapy. This is a specific style, also known as Trigger Point Therapy, designed to penetrate deeply into spasming muscle groups and end the pain-spasm cycles. This technique is based on a heavy awareness of anatomy and the relationships of muscle groups that trigger one another into spasms. This comprehensive technique works very well for treating traumas after car accidents as well as those chronic neck/shoulder, low back, and even SCIATIC pains.

Prenatal & Postnatal Massage
Amber is trained in Prenatal Massage and balances her gentle touch with firmness. Amber has extensive experience with Postnatal Massage clients too. She understands the issues new moms can have with tension in their shoulders and back due to breast feeding and baby holding. She is also familiar with the needs of new moms and has given many massages while baby lays on mom or happily sits between her legs. It is about tailoring a massage to fit each person and their family's needs.

Lymphatic Drainage
Amber performs Lymphatic Drainage, a very light pressured technique that stimulates and increases the flow of the lymphatic system. This technique involves a very light pressure applied to glands, ducts, and the natural pathways of the lymph system. This modality is used to help flush out toxins and enhance the body's natural healing and cleansing capabilities. This treatment requires an increase in drinking water for the following 24 hours, and often results in smoother, "brighter" skin. Lymphatic drainage is common in Europe for removing wrinkles and evening out fluids under the skin.
