Swedish-Esalen Massage, Deep Tissue, Reiki, Core Synchronism, Somatic Psychotherapy, Shamanic Journeying

Swedish-Esalen Massage:  Originating from Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, these massage techniques are influenced by the rhythmic flow of ocean waves.  Rebecca’s massage is restorative, nurturing, and meditative, combining long, slow integrative strokes with passive stretching.

Deep Tissue Massage: Rebecca adjusts depth of pressure to your comfort level.  Focused techniques on deep muscles provide relief to areas of tightness, pain or minor injury.

Hot Stone Massage: Smooth river stones which have been heated in water are massaged over the body, integrated into a therapeutic massage session. Stones are rested in specific points along the spine, under the neck, in the palms of the hand, on soles of the feet, or on the belly, to improve the flow of energy in the body. The warmth is deeply penetrating and soothing, and allows for Rebecca to work with deeper pressure into the muscles. Receiving a hot stone massage is a like entering a meditative retreat into a womb of warmth, leaving one feeling relaxed, renewed and restored.

Reiki: A method of intuitive energy healing which provides deep relaxation, peace, and powerful healing to the body, mind and spirit.  A Reiki treatment consists of laying the hands on the body and allowing the energy of life to flow through the hands to the person being treated.  Rebecca finds this method of healing deeply spiritual, and she often channels angelic energies and receives messages of healing and insight.

Core Synchronism: Core Synchronism is a natural therapeutic that works with the rhythmic motion of cerebral spinal fluid to restore harmony and balance. Pain is the result of a body part (mental/emotional, etheric, physical) being out of synch with the core current and cerebral spinal fluid. By re-establishing synchronistic balance with the core current, cerebral spinal fluid, and the asynchronous body part, harmony is restored to the organism thus breaking the pain-discomfort cycle. Core Synchronism can be easily woven into a massage session, and has countless health benefits.

Somatic Psychotherapy: The body holds memory, emotions, and deep-seated beliefs about ourselves and the world.  Chronic pain and disease is often rooted in thoughts and emotions that become physical and perpetuate a state of disharmony.  In a space of safety, compassion and gentleness, Rebecca invites you to listen to the messages that your body may be longing to share with you.  Connect with your innate truth and wisdom within your body, and transform and heal old patterns of being that are no longer serving you.  Become empowered to heal from within.

Shamanic Journeying: Rebecca enters a trance state through drumming and connects with spirit guidance to assist in your path.  Find clarity and answers to questions relating to any area of your life such as life purpose, direction, relationship, and healing.

Rebecca has been a massage therapist and energy healer since 1999.  She experienced an awakening into her path as a healer after initiation into Reiki in 1992. She pursued this calling by becoming certified in Massage Therapy at Twin Lakes School of Healing Arts in Santa Cruz, CA and at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA. In 2006, she completed a Master’s degree in Somatic Psychotherapy from Naropa University, which explores the interconnection of mind and body. She is currently training in Hakomi, a method of mindfulness based body psychotherapy.  Her intuitive touch is refined through two decades of spiritual practices and shamanic journeying.
