Anya has been a practicing and certified massage therapist since August 1998. Her massage style is a blend of many different techniques developed from both Eastern and Western healing systems, incorporating her Hypnotherapy skills to bring you deeper relaxation. The massage is done on a comfortable massage table and a blend of organic scent-free lotion, light coconut oil and aromatherapy scents are used. She is a detail-orientated therapist and enjoys working on each client’s individual needs. Clients who are looking for relief from pain are sometimes surprised by how quickly Anya is able to move their body back to comfort. She is sensitive to those who like a softer massage and can deliver firm pressure when it's needed. In addition, she employs stretching and joint mobilization techniques to bring energy and flexibility back into tight spots.
In her professional life she has worked with thousands of clients, who have found her massage style to be both corrective and relaxing. She has experience in alleviating problems such as neck and back pain, discomfort associated with pregnancy, TMJ, tennis elbow, ankle sprains, "frozen shoulder", carpal tunnel syndrome, pulled hamstrings, sciatica and fibromyalgia. As a teacher who enjoys sharing her knowledge, she loves helping friends and clients take ownership of their body's health.
Anya's philosophy is: You make more informed choices when you know how your body works. Through her own life experience, she has cultivated a deeper understanding for the aches and pains that come from an active lifestyle. That said, there is nothing Anya enjoys more than giving a deeply relaxing massage for those who are pain and injury free! She also love working with women who are trying to get pregnant, as well as pregnant women.
