Tina Brooks,
Licensed Massage Therapist
I studied bodywork at Cumberland Institute of Holistic Therapies.
I incorporate techniques from a variety of modalities, including manual lymphatic drainage, fascial release, local-distal acupressure, craniosacral therapy, and others. Each session looks a little different, depending on clients' needs. One common thread is that my sessions tend to move at a slower, rhythmic pace. I believe that therapeutic work can also be deeply relaxing. I find that the most meaningful changes occur when the body is able to let go and allow changes to happen, rather than being forced into change. For this reason, I only move as fast as the body allows me to.
I also have a background in Iyengar Yoga, which strongly influences my bodywork practice. My yoga practice has helped me to cultivate an acute awareness in my own body. That first hand experience gives me a deeper understanding of whats happening in the body as it moves and how things are connected. It also helps me to pick up on patterns and gives me an idea of how to work with those patterns to create balance in the body. it has also given me a knack for being able to adapt my setup to accommodate different bodies.
