HOLISTIC MASSAGE MANIFESTO
I BELIEVE
To receive massage therapy is a meaningful act of resistance to the modern western way of life, that unforgiving machine-like mentality which mindlessly exhausts every natural resource available–including its humans.
I BELIEVE
Massage therapy has the power to awaken and inspire the whole person. The fact is, we are healed whenever we feel whole. Being healed only requires that we understand the perfection in our imperfection. We can never forsake ourselves.
I BELIEVE
Massage therapy is more than touch therapy—it is an education for the soul embodied within. It is liberation from limitations real and perceived. Individual empowerment springs from source energies within.
I BELIEVE
To kindle the spirit & activate a vital inner life is essential to health—mental, emotional, and physical. Without an inner sensibility (“ability to sense”) we cannot feel ourselves, we cannot share our gifts. We cannot live free until we claim the power of our own bodies and minds.
“olivia HAS deep awareness of how to help a body let go of its efforting. I have energy to respond well to life!”

WHAT IS HOLISTIC MASSAGE?
A MINDFUL MASSAGE PRACTICE DEVOTED TO HEALING INJURY AND PAIN NATURALLY
Gentle, yet profound, restorative holistic massage therapy and Soma® Structural Integration leverage the body’s physiology & core energetics, restoring the flow of powerful, clean source energy with myofascial release and integrative techniques.
A vitalized body/mind promotes total healing from the inside out. Resolves back pain, neck and shoulder pain, knee pain, headaches, TMJ, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and more by reconditioning the body’s structure and function.
An efficient, aligned body serves as the most natural form of preventative health care because it’s pulled together, working together as one. Every “part” does its job in harmony with every other.
“OLIVIA never fails to help stabilize and ground me to the good Earth.”

CHOOSE WHAT’S PERFECT FOR YOU
I offer two tiers of service: Holistic, restorative massage and Soma® Structural Integration.
Which one is right for you?
Both restore the body/mind holistically • relieve even chronic pain & injury • activate natural, easy-flowing energy • work profoundly—deep and gentle, at the same time • get you further along your healing journey
Both are perfect for anyone who is willing and able to receive massage therapy.
The differences:
Holistic Massage sessions last 60 or 90 minutes • may be billed to insurance • work for pain and injury • are most effective for acute pain, shorter-term pain, pain resulting from overwork or overuse
Soma® Structural Integration sessions run 120 minutes • include bodywork, movement education and coaching • are perfect for treating more chronic conditions, chronic stress, tension, and pain, reduced range of motion, as well as idiopathic pain, old injuries … plus pain which other forms of health care haven’t been able to resolve
RETURN HOME TO YOUR BODY, TO YOURSELF
Holistic massage therapy and Soma® Structural Integration gently and effectively return you back to balance and alignment, allowing your body to naturally resolve many chronic issues–even ones that stymie other treatment providers.
The concept is simple. A body working efficiently in gravity CAN HEAL itself.
Once restored to full function, the nervous system can shift smoothly from sympathetic to parasympathetic and back, without ever getting stuck. The right muscles can do the right work at the right time–never too much or too little. The joints can maintain a healthy range of motion. The bones can support and move freely. The core can stay engaged, keeping us present every moment.
All this goodness arises from a smoothed, toned myofascial and fascial (connective tissue) network.
Fascia isn’t yet fully understood, but, as it envelops every cell of the body, it’s easy to see it’s pretty darn important.
when THE FASCIA IS HEALTHY, we feel it. We feel joyful, awakened, relaxed … at home in our bodies, our selves.
Curious about fascia? Read my article about fascia from the IASI Journal.
