A ShaylaMassage is a comprehensive 'Therapeutic Session' utilizing a broad range of techniques to address your specific needs. With over 2,000 hours of training I have a lot of 'tools' in my 'toolbox' to address a wide variety of needs.
Lua lomi - An ancient Hawaiian healing modality that uses specific breath and strokes to open the body deeply and efficiently. Rooted in spirituality, it addresses the whole person, body mind and soul. Shayla has spent more than a decade studying with a local expert and last holder of this ancient Maui lineage. Lua lomi is based in the unique Hawaiian martial art of Lua warriors. Just like martial arts, this lineage of lomi is specific, powerful and effective.
Soft Tissue Release - An 'active release' technique that quickly and effectively releases tight and stressed muscles, even years old. By pinning and stretching the muscle it can release , deep sliding compression (a deep slow approach to 'coach' muscles back into alignment).
Trigger Point Therapy - By Travell and Simons, MDs - Trigger point therapy seeks out the ROOT of pain via remote points that trigger what is called 'referral' pain. Janet Travell, MD discovered an array of 'trigger points' that create pain patterns often quite distal (far away) from the root cause. After years of observation, she published 'maps' of pain patterns that unlock causes of pain previously unknown.
