Californian Massage comes from the Human Potential Movement and Gestalt therapy, and it’s all about connecting your body, mind, and emotions. Using smooth, flowing strokes, it’s designed to help you fully relax, release emotions, and become more in tune with yourself. By connecting your physical and emotional well-being, this massage helps release blocked feelings and boosts your overall energy flow.
Another cool aspect of this technique is the way it works on both sides of your body differently, which actually stimulates both sides of your brain creating a new balance between masculine and feminine functions.
By strengthening the mind-body connection, we can create new pathways in your brain that support healing, resilience, and a balanced sense of self. I am also equipped with trauma informed techniques and the polyvagal theory (regulation of the nervous system)
If you’re feeling stressed and need to recharge, this massage could be just what you need. It’s deeply relaxing and also works into your muscles, helping your energy flow exactly where it’s needed for healing and renewal.
The Californian massage incorporates gentle kneading, rhythmic rubbing, and soft percussion techniques, alongside long, flowing integrative strokes and deep tissue work. Performed with oil to enhance the tactile connection, this method focuses on harmonizing the skin's surface with the deeper layers of the body, encouraging both physical and emotional release.
This massage technique fosters new neural connections between the left and right hemispheres of the brain by working each side of the body differently. As the nervous system resets, it naturally enters a meditative state, promoting deep relaxation.
Energy is skillfully redistributed, releasing any excess and channeling it to areas where it is most needed, restoring balance and harmony within the body.
