Andrea has the most wonderful hands:
deep and probing, yet kind and gentle.
Massage is a tonic: It invigorates, strengthens and
animates the dormant powers and energies.
I have now had 5 monthly massage sessions with Andrea since July. I started after suffering stiffness in my back since having a hip replacement last year. I notice a great improvement in my back and shoulders after each session I have a general sense of well-being.
"For someone with such seemingly small and delicate hands, Andrea has a wonderfully firm and deep touch. Due to a chronic condition I have a foot that can become clawlike with cramp; Andrea is fantastic at unknotting it and at stretching out other stiff contracted muscles, so that a massage brings instant relief and makes a real physical difference. Quite simply, Andrea has healing in her hands."
Attending Andrea's classes has heightened my awareness of space, balance and posture and how physical position has immediate impact on both body and mind.
I come to her classes whenever I can - sometimes 9 times per week - and always admire how she adapts the class to include and benefit everyone.
