***** NEW for 2024 *****
Got a scar or know a friend or family member with a scar?
If you answered ‘YES’ then read on and spread this fantastic news…
I am super excited to share a new service that is available now - I am the only therapist in the New England Area to offer Gentle Scar Therapy.
This specialized service is gentle and truly transformative for people and their families who have planned and unplanned scars.
Scars are fascinating – at skin level they are visible evidence of how adaptable our bodies are however scars are just like icebergs what we see on the surface is a small impact compared to what can happen deep below the surface.
Overtime Scars can become problematic even after successful surgery and healing.
Problematic scars can disrupt their owners physically and emotionally.
Physically scars and the surrounding areas might feel numb to the touch, pain and discomfort can be experienced near or distant to the scarred area.
Sensation can be altered and feel like pulling, tightness or pins and needles can be experienced.
Emotionally people just don’t feel like themselves anymore.
In 2023 after extensive study, I qualified as a Scar Therapist.
I have been getting great results by using specific gentle massage-like techniques to increase the body’s own healing properties to soften scar tissue, increase mobility, decrease pain, and in some cases change the appearance of the scar, for a better quality of life.
No matter how old the scar is, or what type of scar it is, planned surgery, unplanned, accident, burns, self-harm scars, this treatment can help you and the people you care about more than you can imagine.
With these gentle techniques I can treat the source of many chronic pain issues like
• Scars from abdominal surgery can be a common source of low back pain.
• Shoulder or rotator cuff surgery can be the source or upper back pain.
• Any foot or leg scarring could cause pain in the legs or hips and vice versa.
• Digestive issues could be a result of adhesions formed by scars.
With gentle techniques and patience, you can gain a better quality of life!

Fall is the perfect time to get a massage, and here is why!
As the leaves turn vibrant shades of red and orange and the air becomes crisp and cool, fall ushers in a season of change and transformation. Fall is the perfect time to get a massage. It’s also the perfect time to prioritize self-care and pay attention to your body’s needs. One of the most relaxing and scientifically supported ways to do this is by getting a massage.
Massage Helps Combat Seasonal Stress
Fall often brings with it a shift in routine as summer vacations end, and the pace of life picks up with work, school, and holiday preparations. This transition can be accompanied by increased stress levels. Thankfully, massage therapy has been shown to effectively combat stress.
Massage Can Help with Easing Muscular Tension
The cooler temperatures of fall can lead to increased muscular tension, especially in individuals who are sensitive to temperature changes. The body’s natural response to cold is to contract muscles, leading to stiffness and discomfort. Getting a massage in fall is an excellent way to counteract this effect.
Massage Can Enhance Mood and Sleep Quality
With shorter days and less sunlight in the fall, many people experience mood disturbances or even seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Massage therapy can play a role in enhancing mood and improving sleep quality, which is essential for mental and emotional well-being. So getting a massage can help!
Conclusion
Fall is a season of transformation, and it offers a prime opportunity to prioritize self-care and focus on your body’s needs. Fall is the ideal time to invest in your well-being. By combating stress, easing muscular tension, and enhancing mood and sleep quality, a massage in the fall can leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and better equipped to embrace the beauty and challenges of this wonderful season. Don’t wait; book your fall massage appointment today and experience the benefits for yourself.
