Presence with Renee | Massage & Somatic Therapies

Get to Know your Massage Therapist:

My approach to massage is highly individualized, drawing from more than six years of hands-on experience and training across therapeutic, rehabilitative, relaxation, and traditional bodywork practices. Rather than following a predetermined routine, each session is shaped around your goals, preferences, activity level, areas of tension, and how your body responds during treatment.

Depending on the session, my work may incorporate Swedish and deep-tissue massage, sports massage, advanced neuromuscular and trigger-point techniques, myofascial and skin-rolling techniques, reciprocal inhibition, assisted stretching, active soft-tissue techniques, deep hip and psoas work, rocking, shaking, sustained holds, and focused work intended to support mobility and recovery.

My background also includes oncology and lymphatic massage, injury-rehabilitation support, craniosacral and polarity-inspired techniques, reflexology, Shiatsu, traditional Chinese meridian concepts, and experience working alongside chiropractors and physical therapists. My studies have also taken me to value traditional Thai massage and aromatherapy.

For clients who benefit from a quieter approach, sessions can incorporate gentle touch, stillness, breath awareness, body scans, meditation, and deep-rest practices. Movement knowledge from yoga, Tai Chi, swimming, stretching, and rehabilitation principles also informs how I understand the body in motion.

I have experience working with a broad range of clients and circumstances, including athletes, chronic tension patterns, injury recovery, oncology clients, burn survivors, adolescents ages 12 and older, and people simply needing a restorative place to slow down.

Vibroacoustic Integrated Bodywork

Vibroacoustic sessions combine customized massage, low-frequency sound and vibration through the inHarmony vibroacoustic table, and therapeutic tuning-fork techniques to create an immersive sensory experience.

Low-frequency vibration is transmitted through the table into the body while carefully selected soundscapes create an environment designed to support relaxation, body awareness and a quieter nervous-system state. Research on vibroacoustic stimulation has explored potential effects on stress, pain perception and physiological relaxation, and peer-reviewed evidence continues to develop.

Tuning forks may also be incorporated as a focused sensory element during the session, complementing hands-on bodywork and whole-body vibration.
