Comfort Touch Massage

On a scientific level, research has shown that massage therapy relieves depression and anxiety by affecting the body's biochemistry.  High levels of the stress hormone Cortisol can increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, while suppressing your immune system. By measuring Cortisol before and after massage, it was found to lower the levels around 50%. Massage also increased serotonin and dopamine, which are neurotransmitters that help reduce depression.

On a personal level, I found that during the grieving process, it's far too easy to isolate your self from human interaction, let alone human touch. You are in deep emotional pain and it feels like no one understands what you are going through. Maybe you even feel embarrassed to cry around others, because "it was just a pet". This is why I created Comfort Touch Massage, to lower your level of stress in a safe environment and help you work towards healing of the heart.

So what is Comfort Touch Massage? It's a fully clothed massage that combines techniques from all over the world. I have been a licensed massage therapist for years and studied here in the US as well as Thailand and Bali/Indonesia. By incorporating philosophies, modalities and concepts from different cultures, I am confident I can deliver a highly customized experience for you and your immediate needs. It's non-intrusive, safe and comforting. It will allow you to better deal with your emotions by being in a more relaxed state of mind.
