Eclectic Bodywork is my unique blend of various massage and bodywork approaches. This eclectic approach creates a context for healing to happen through supporting, reflecting, and nurturing the deep intelligence of your body.

Techniques and approaches used are:
▪ Swedish style massage; to soothe and nurture muscles and soft tissue.
▪ Shiatsu pressure points, and Jin Shin SEL points; to address blocks in meridian
  pathways and safety energy lock points.
▪ Deep listening sensitivities of the cranial sacral system; to support unwinding, core
   alignment, and the healing properties of micro-movements to occur.
▪ Principles of The Hakomi Method:
   Organicity; supports the natural unfolding of the healing process.
   Unity; we are in this together- it is not me doing to you.
   Mindfulness; is witnessing present moment experience.
   Non-Violence; is a non-intrusive, gentle touch that goes deep.
   Body-Mind Holism; knowing I touch your soul as I touch your body. 

Benefits are:
▪ relaxation; a state which rejuvenates, regenerates, and allows healing to happen.
▪ nurturance; an experience of being cared for.
▪ well-being; of body, mind, and spirit.
▪ balance and alignment; in your core.
▪ release and ease; in muscles and soft tissue.
▪ flow of meridians, and energy.
▪ deeper connection and awareness of your body.
▪ present moment experiencing of your body.



“Denise has rescued me from the worst headache of my life, saved me from having knee surgeries, and has made me aware of body/mind/breath/earth connections. She offers a safe, nurturing environment and she is the best at finding “those” spots and working out the kinks!” —M.G. (San Francisco)


Note: Sessions are tailored to individual needs. Sessions can be done in clothing or out of clothing. If the Swedish style of massage is important for you then sessions are done out of clothing with the use of lotion and professional draping techniques. Otherwise, sessions can be done in comfortable clothing, on the table.


“I offer a “safe haven” for you to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. Through sensitive touch, I listen and follow the natural unwinding of your body. This allows body-mind, heart, and soul to realign naturally and organically. Your body guides the session- your body shows me the way- together we allow how, when, and what wants to release for optimal balance to arise. I look forward to meeting you in the depths of spaciousness, quiet, and timeless experiencing of the present moment.”
