What you've been through, where you're headed and your internal dialogue are all catalogued in your deep tissue. We are multidimensional beings, and your posture, your eating habits, your level of stress and your relationships are all integral to matters of health. We carry these with us wherever we go.
So what can I do to help you? Length and Space. Bringing LENGTH to your shortened fascia and muscles will help bring back a range of motion and restore the 'slide and glide' qualities of your body. Bringing SPACE into areas of your body that are collapsed, wound, bound, tethered and cramped will help you harness your body's full potential. Think of that feeling of anxiety that makes it hard to breathe deeply. Obtaining length and space in your body aids in your breathing, digestion and your overall sense of well-being.
These two goals can be obtained from a wide variety of styles: Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Relief, Trigger Point Therapy, Activated Stretching, Breath Work and more. I bring these techniques to address the many layers that contribute to the place where you are today. For over nineteen years and counting.
Combining my 20 years plus of hands-on experience with countless hours of continuing education, I have worked on a wide variety of individuals with a vast spectrum of dis-ease. Whether it is acute or chronic pain, a sports or auto injury, muscular dystrophy, scar tissue from a surgery, or just the need to relax, I am the right therapist for you. My work is deep and relieving and geared towards correcting bad postures and habits.
I have experience with Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Reflexology, Sports, Body Mind Awareness (Jin Shin Do), and Dog and Equine Massage using the Masterson Method. I have also taught seminars on dog massage so that dog owners can give their own furry friends a massage.
If you have ever met me you know that I am an animal lover! I have a bulldog, Stella, who brings so much joy and peace to me. In 2019, I welcomed my son, Maverick, making Stella a big sister.
I love living and working in Newark. It gives me such a great feeling of community. If you see me out and about, say hi!
*At this time I am not accepting new clients and am personally not selling gift cards for my services. Thank you.
Deep Tissue Massage is designed to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body. It reaches the deepest layer of muscles, tendons and fascia (connective tissue surrounding the joints).
The goal of Deep Tissue Massage is to break down tense areas which cause pain, inflammation and limit motion of your muscles and joints.

Our bodies take an automatic and intuitive measure to protect itself from harm. That system is largely influenced by the Vagus nerve. When we are in a situation where flight or fight is not an option, we are not allowed the full circle process of returning to rest. The result is our bodies being stuck in a neural short circuit , constantly signaling that we are in danger. That consists of stress chemical over-production and tight musculature. Resetting the Vagus nerve allows our systems to reset, and to come off the high alert pattern which leads to the restoration of calm and digestion. It is a physiological state that cannot be mitigated by verbal and mental therapies. You cannot simply SAY you are safe, you have to FEEL it. That begins within your body.
Jennifer creates the most serene and personal experience. She has magic hands that are soothing, calming and finds my problem areas. She is communicative and makes the massage experience healing and personal.
Very relaxing atmosphere and EXCELLENT prenatal massage. I felt so wonderful afterwards that I bought a gift card for my pregnant friend.
