These knots are the major culprits in the aches and pains that most people experience. Massage helps release the knots in your muscles, allowing your body to move more freely, and relieving chronic muscular tension and pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stress Relief&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;According to many experts, up to 80% of pain and illness is due to stress! So regular massage appointments are actually an investment in your health. In addition, compared with medical bills, massage is much less of a strain on your wallet. And having a massage is such a wonderful way to relax and unwind! Massage can promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being. And not only that, it feels really good!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Massage Therapy Painful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My massage technique is gentle but firm. I adjust the amount of pressure to your preference, and will work entirely within your comfort zone. Any pain that is more significant than momentary discomfort is unnecessary and counter-productive!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can work with gentle, soothing and relaxing strokes, or use therapeutic deep tissue methods. Most of my sessions include a combination of both gentle and deeper techniques. My clients tell me that they enjoy their sessions, and a sound that I often hear while I’m working is &lt;em&gt;“Ahhhh……”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Testimonials&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;“Thank you, Julie. I feel much lighter and released!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Susan S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I felt as if I was floating six inches above the table . . . that was wonderful!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Monika B.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When I came in today I was 5’11, and now I’m leaving at 7’2.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jeff P.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I get massages all the time, and that was the best massage I ever had. I'll be back soon.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christine S.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;“I feel so-o-o-o much better!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Pamela S&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What to Expect from a Massage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Your massage will take place on a comfortable, padded massage table. If you like, there will be soft music to help soothe and relax you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a short consultation, I will leave the room to give you time to undress, get on the massage table and cover yourself. You may leave on your undergarments if it makes you feel more comfortable. During the massage you will be completely covered, except for the body part I am working on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a professional licensed massage therapist I am dedicated to providing a completely safe and pleasurable experience for my clients. My work is purely therapeutic and absolutely non-sexual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During your massage, your only job is to provide feedback if you experience discomfort in any way. Otherwise, you simply relax and enjoy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4361/3044/1600/Julie.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4361/3044/1600/NY%20Botanical%20Gardens%205-29-06%20045.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4361/3044/1600/NY%20Botanical%20Gardens%205-29-06%20045.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4361/3044/1600/NY%20Botanical%20Gardens%205-29-06%20045.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4361/3044/1600/NY%20Botanical%20Gardens%205-29-06%20045.3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4361/3044/400/NY%20Botanical%20Gardens%205-29-06%20045.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Me&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;In my role as a licensed massage therapist, I am passionate about providing the nurturing touch that helps people to unwind and heal.
