psychophysical integration via movement, called the

Ginger's specialty is mixing massage and movement with a structural approach to improve posture and your ability to move
comfortably. The beginning of her bodywork is gentle, passive joint movement and rocking to open up joints and trunk, improving
circulation and range of motion and giving the feeling of elongation from head to toe. Then she massages the muscles with
shea butter. Stretches are incorporated throughout the session. Ginger also often works some foot or hand reflexes (Reflexology)
to de-toxify and restore internal balance to specific areas. Ginger also does 30 or 60 min. foot or hand and foot reflexology
sessions. As a Christian therapist, Ginger is happy to offer a prayer for her clients if they desire.

forward to serving you with safe, caring touch
that is vital to your physical, mental, and
emotional well being.
