Massage Therapist in Parker Colorado
Shirley has gained an excellent reputation in Parker, is referred to by chiropractors and health care professionals and has been conveniently located in downtown Parker for over sixteen years. She is skilled at giving a very light touch and relaxing massage but has gained her reputation with her deep corrective work and seems to know how to continually monitor and adjust techniques and pressure according to her clients desires and needs.
She continues to study massage techniques and also study in areas that may help her clients become more aware of how they can develop habits to improve their overall sense of well being. This may include posture, increased range of motion and decreased stress. Massage therapy is very individual. While many people just want a good massage without any information or interaction, others are willing to be active participants by doing isometric contractions, stretching and welcome excercises and information that will benefit them.
Shirley’s History
Trained in swedish, advanced sports, myofascial release and stretching, neuoromuscuar therapy, trigger point therapy, she works correctively and can work deeply yet at the same time feels strongly about the integration of feeling relaxed and balanced. Also trained in Healing Touch, Reike, Cranio Sacral Therapy , Trauma Touch and Body/Mind Psychotherapy, her deepest commitment is to stay present and attuned to her clients needs.
.
She also strives to integrate the philosophies of pioneers such as Ida Rolf and Mosh Feldenkrais into her massage work, two of many individuals who have taken different models of the body to create healing techniques that are reknown worldwide. Her practice in vipassana and zen meditation for over 15 years, along with her training with Jon Kabit Zinn (mindful based stress reduction meditation—used internationally in the medical community, and author of numerous books) have helped to give her tools to help healing and growth occur.
She has practiced massage therapy in historic old downtown Parker above the local coffee shop for over 15 years. She keeps a somewhat low profile including not posting testimonials. Her work and reputation speak for themselves as she has received the honor of being voted Best Massage Therapist in Parker, Colorado a few times over the years.
