Joanne L. Kaufman

I integrate orthopedic massage therapy with energy healing to create a unique, client focused healing experience. Bodywork is something I do “with” clients — a creative dialogue in which you as the client and I as a therapist work together to reduce pain, tension, discomfort and dysfunctional patterning within your body and Being.  I review your health history and listen to your concerns or wishes for the appointment during an intake visit before the first massage to assess your overall health situation.

We check in on updates before each following session, whether that is the next week or the next year! During your appointment, I "listen" to what my hands feel in your muscles or tissues that is achy or painful, or blocked, responding with a variety of techniques ranging from energy work to deep-tissue massage. I may ask quiet questions to make sure the massage is addressing your needs. For best results, I encourage client questions, client participation through daily stretching and exercises or practices between appointments, and integration of this work into a client’s regular self care routine.
