 You might say that Lydia moves as a snail’s pace. First of all, she uses very little oil, if any: as doing so hydrates the surface tissue. Too much oil can make the client feel uneasy; for without friction, one can get the sense that the treatment is moving too quickly. What’s great about her massages is that she does not force results--doing so can actually inhibit change and create more tissue damage.
Sometimes areas of discomfort can be sensitive. Lydia facilitates a safe space for healing. What sets Lydia’s massage apart from others is her keen tactile sense, strengthening her intuition. Working with your breath and your body’s natural energy flow, she Care-fully waits for the tissue to let down its guard before she proceeds to break down fascial barriers. Her massage is non-intrusive. You’ll be amazed when you feel for yourself how she delivers greater lasting results as a “patient facilitator” than she would if she were a “violent intruder”.
Lydia’s massages are integrative. Whether they are on the table, the chair, or on the mat: she can modify her intention depending on how your tissue responds to her touch. Her intention is to facilitate the most comfortable and natural way of healing. Each body is different. And, no body is the same every session. She tailors her massage to the needs of her clients.
In all her work she uses Myofascial Release to unwind and unstuck fascial barriers. Her Assisted Stretching incorporates Myofascial Release with Thai Yoga Massage and most all other modalities listed below. The Assisted Stretching is performed on a mat and client is clothed. On the table, the client is disrobed, but draped at all times (in exception to the areas on which she’s working).
