Services
Treatments, described plainly.
Each approach below can be used on its own or combined. Sessions are one-to-one and by appointment, Monday through Friday.
[PLACEHOLDER: pricing and session lengths to be set before launch]
Myofascial release
Slow, sustained pressure into the fascia to address restriction and improve tissue mobility. Often done with little or no oil.
[Contact for pricing]
Visceral manipulation
Gentle manual work around the abdomen and the fascial attachments that support the organs. Typically done clothed and without oil.
[Contact for pricing]
Craniosacral therapy
A light-touch, listening approach. The hands rest quietly at the head, spine or sacrum and follow what they feel. Many people find it deeply calming.
[Contact for pricing]
Neural manipulation
Specific, light-to-moderate manual work along nerve pathways and the tissue that surrounds them, to address areas where movement feels limited or irritated.
[Contact for pricing]
Lymphatic drainage
A very light, slow technique that follows the lymphatic pathways of the body to support the movement of fluid through the tissue.
[Contact for pricing]
Midfacial work
Gentle manual work through the midface and the surrounding fascia, often combined with craniosacral or lymphatic approaches.

Bodywork is not a substitute for medical care. Tricia does not diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, or perform spinal or skeletal adjustments, and she may recommend you check with your healthcare provider if something falls outside massage therapy.
What to expect
Your first visit.
i.
Intake and conversation
You complete a short health history, then talk through what you are noticing and what you would like from the session. Nothing happens until you are clear on what to expect.
ii.
The session
Most of the work is quiet and slow. Tricia checks in about pressure and comfort, and you can ask her to change anything or stop at any point.
iii.
Afterward
You will have a few minutes to come back to the room before you leave. Tricia may suggest simple things to pay attention to over the next day or two, such as drinking water and moving gently.
Questions
Frequently asked.
It depends on the technique. Craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation are often done fully clothed. Myofascial release and massage may involve undressing to your comfort level. You are always draped, and only the area being worked on is uncovered. Wear what you will be comfortable lying down in.
Much of this work is lighter than people expect. Myofascial release can feel intense in places, but it should never be painful in a way that makes you brace. Tell Tricia right away if anything is uncomfortable and she will change the pressure or technique.
It is gentle manual work on the abdomen and the connective tissue that supports the organs. You will feel slow, steady touch rather than deep pressing. Tell Tricia about any abdominal surgery, pregnancy, or recent illness beforehand, as these affect how she approaches the area.
It is a quiet session. Tricia's hands rest lightly at the head, spine or sacrum and follow what they feel. Many people notice relaxation, warmth, or a sense of the body settling; some feel very little in the moment. Experiences vary and results are not guaranteed.
Some people feel tired, light-headed, or mildly sore for a day or two, particularly after deeper myofascial or neural work. Drinking water and moving gently usually helps. If anything feels concerning, contact your healthcare provider.
Your intake form covers health history so Tricia can adjust or decline techniques when needed. If you are pregnant, have a recent injury or surgery, a circulatory or clotting condition, a history of cancer, or any acute illness, please talk with your healthcare provider before booking. Bodywork does not replace medical care.
Please give at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice are charged the full session fee.
