Pain affects more than your body — it impacts your mood, sleep, focus, and how you move through life. At Awaken Massage, I work one-on-one with clients to help them release both physical and emotional tension through an integrated, holistic approach.
Every session I offer combines somatic massage, neuromuscular therapy, NeuroCupping Therapy (NCT), and myofascial release — personalized for your body and your needs that day. This isn’t a generic massage; it’s a guided experience designed to restore movement, calm the nervous system, and help you feel fully at home in your body again.

Somatic Massage: Reconnecting You to Your Body
Somatic massage is all about awareness, tuning in to how your body actually feels. By noticing tension and stress patterns, we can gently release areas holding both emotional and physical strain. For trauma survivors, autoimmune sufferers, athletes, or anyone carrying chronic tension, this mindful approach helps reset the nervous system and promote lasting calm.
Neuromuscular Therapy: Targeting the Source of Pain
Trigger points — tight spots that send pain elsewhere — are a common reason discomfort lingers. Neuromuscular therapy focuses directly on these areas, easing tension, improving movement, and supporting muscle balance. It’s ideal for recovery after injury, repetitive strain, or chronic discomfort.
NeuroCupping Therapy (NCT): Precision Pain Relief
NeuroCupping Therapy (NCT) isn’t your typical cupping. It’s a brain-body focused approach that uses gentle suction to stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and release fascial restrictions.
In your session with me, NCT:
Activates mechanoreceptors in the skin and fascia
Encourages the nervous system to reset pain patterns
Targets chronic tension areas without causing unnecessary discomfort
This precise approach allows us to release tight areas safely, while reducing pain and improving mobility.
Myofascial Release: Unlocking Hidden Tension
Fascia — the connective tissue wrapping every muscle, organ, nerves, and blood vessels can become tight and restricted. Myofascial release uses gentle, sustained pressure to stretch and release these areas, restoring mobility and relieving deep tension. Many clients find this technique is what finally allows long-standing pain to ease.
How a Session With Me Flows
Every session I guide is personalized:
Somatic work to tune in and calm your nervous system
Neuromuscular techniques to target specific pain points
NeuroCupping Therapy (NCT) to stimulate the nervous system and release stubborn tension
Myofascial release to restore flow, balance, and movement
Layering these techniques allows us to address both the root causes of pain and the areas that are most stubborn. You leave feeling lighter, grounded, and in control of your body again.
Benefits Beyond Pain Relief
Clients often notice:
Reduced stress and anxiety
Better sleep
Increased mobility
A renewed sense of connection with their body
Pain doesn’t have to dictate your life. With a session tailored by me, you can start moving, sleeping, and living with more freedom.
