"SanDee is incredible - knowledgable and professional, yet personal. She is thorough, asks lots of questions to make sure she knows what your body is experiencing and what help it needs, and works to make sure she meets your needs. I highly recommend her to anyone - a great massage therapist, and more!" Judy S. - Springlake, MI
What to Expect from my massage:
You are stressed, in pain and sooo looking forward to a relaxing, and/or pain relieving massage, only to be disappointed because the massage therapist never even touched the places you told them hurt the worst and/or the work wasn’t what you needed to feel better. Now, you are still in pain ,more stressed and angry for feeling like you wasted your money.
I integrate several styles of massage in a session, depending on what the client is needing; Myofascial Release, Swedish, Trigger Point, Deep Tissue and stretching. In some sessions, I incorporate Craniosacral Therapy, cupping or Gua Sha/Blading. Some sessions require more pressure and work and others just want a nice, relaxing massage to relieve stress and tension. My intention with any session is to be as gentle as I can and still be effective, causing release of pain and spasm. If the work is too deep and you feel yourself guarding, the work is too deep and ineffective.
Let me spoil you...leave your stress at the door, your phone in the car and let your poor, tired, sore body lay on the table and relax.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of biomechanics.
Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams - about the weight of a nickel - practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
How does CranioSacral Therapy Work?
Few structures have as much influence over the body's ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. And, the central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system - the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord.
Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with.
Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. With a light touch, the CST practitioner uses his or her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord. Soft-touch techniques are then used to release restrictions in any tissues influencing the craniosacral system.
By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body's ability to self-correct, CranioSacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions, from chronic pain and sports injuries to stroke and neurological impairment.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is the Japanese word for "Universal Life Force. We all have Reiki energy. What makes Reiki different from other healing methods, is the attunement process., which the student experiences at the different levels of Reiki training. Anyone can lay their hands on another person to accelerate healing, but someone with Reiki training has learned to fine tune the physical and etheric bodies to a higher vibratory level.
Most people experience a very relaxing session and feel much more grounded, and deep relaxation.
