Located in the heart of El Dorado County, CA, Body Therapies is a sanctuary for those seeking healing, rejuvenation, and overall well-being. As a Nationally Certified practitioner in Core Bodywork, I am dedicated to providing you with a personalized and holistic approach to healthcare, combining therapeutic and massage therapy strategies, yoga, and fitness programs to optimize your performance and health.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage/Complete Decongestive Therapy

If you are experiencing lymphedema conditions resulting from lymph node dissection, radiation, abdominal surgery, hysterectomy, scarring, or simply looking to enhance your body's detoxification and cleansing process, Manual Lymphatic Drainage/Complete Decongestive Therapy is an effective solution. This gentle, rhythmic technique helps stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting the natural drainage of waste products and fluids, and supporting your immune system.

These techniques are tailored to address your specific needs, whether you are recovering from an MVA or sports injury, experiencing sprains, strains, muscle inflexibility, TMJ, migraines, headaches, scoliosis, fibromyalgia, joint pain, spinal injuries, arthritis, or seeking overall relaxation and cleansing.

These soothing and revitalizing treatments promote emotional, mental, and physical well-being, while also providing a profound sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Lifestyle and Nutrition Coaching

At Body Therapies, I believe that making key lifestyle and nutritional changes can significantly improve one's overall health. Through personalized coaching sessions, we will identify and discuss essential components to align with your unique goals, fostering a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

One-on-One Yoga and Fitness Training

Take your wellness journey to new heights with one-on-one yoga and fitness training sessions. Combining yoga, Pilates, weights, and specific balancing moves, these personalized sessions focus on functional training, enabling you to develop key patterning and mechanics as a way of life, both during and beyond your exercise routine. By enhancing your mobility, strength, and body awareness, you will be better equipped to move pain-free and maintain optimal weight distribution on bones rather than soft tissues.

Vertigo - Vestibular Disorder Treatment

Vertigo and other vestibular disorders can significantly impact your quality of life. At Body Therapies, a typical treatment plan for vertigo consists of 1-4 sessions, regardless of the duration of your symptoms. By addressing the underlying causes of your vertigo, such as inner ear damage or issues with your eyes, muscles, and joints, we can help restore your balance, reduce dizziness, and improve your overall well-being.
