“Sometimes I can ask for something specific and receive just that but more often it is just magic to arrive in this sphere and receive the wisdom of healing touch. It is more than just pain relief. It is profoundly energetic and spiritual and comes through in both private massage, yoga classes and the Art of Relaxation. Ilana’s gift of healing is beyond description. Thank you.”
Integrative Therapeutic Massage
Integrative massage combines the techniques of multiple modalities to fit your needs individual in that moment. Sessions can be tailored for specific areas of tension or injury while connection with the breath and the heart allow the body to ask for what it needs and intuitively guide the work.
It is Ilana's joy to intentionally integrate the deeper work of Connective Tissue and Neuromuscular therapy with Swedish, Thai massage, and Biodynamic Craniosacral work to create a fluid and holistic experience on the table. She believes in massage as a way to remind us of our innate ability to connect inwardly, listen, and heal, as well as how deserving we are of health, vitality, and happiness.
Ilana will use a hot stone or manual cupping techniques where called for and desired. Home crafted CBD Cannabis infused oil and Arnica and Cannabis infused muscle salve can be part of any session. There are no add-ons required for deep tissue work or medically specific work, either. Whatever tools are available to support the goals of the session will be included.
Pregnancy Massage
These massages are tailored to the unique experience and needs of pregnant women and pregnant people’s changing body during this time, utilizing positions and techniques to offer physical and emotional support and relief. Sessions can be done face down with the support of a specialized pregnancy bolster and face up utilizing a lifted table, or side-lying, based on your comfort.
On top of the usual benefits of healing touch, receiving massage during pregnancy can help with fatigue, aches and pains associated with the readjustment of the spine and pelvis, including low back pain, as well as head aches and swelling. Care that decreases stress and supports the body’s intuitive wisdom and health is essential to navigating this right of passage in our fast paced modern times. It is a true privilege to hold supportive loving space during this phase of life.
Contact Ilana personally to schedule an in-home postnatal massage visit.
