Abbey's massage motto is give it weight and wait. She uses slow, deep compression to give a therapeutic experience without sacrificing relaxation. She believes in listening carefully to you and working WITH you and not ON you to help you find relief. Respecting your comfort level and using your breath, she'll help you find and release tension, pain, and anxiety. She also loves using techniques from Thai massage to stretch and open the body, and she may use her feet and knees in addition to her hands and elbows to give deeper pressure. If you'd like to try Thai massage, just make sure to wear comfortable, stretchy clothing to allow for more movement!
