ALICE PALACIO
With a base of long, fluid Swedish style strokes I offer a massage suited to your specific needs. My techniques for deeper work are influenced by various modalities, including myofascial release, shiatsu, lomi lomi and acupressure.
I have been trained in the more subtle modalities of Polarity and Upledger Cranio-Sacral, which though lighter and more still in application, offer deep, lasting treatment for the body on many different levels. I can also address needs specific to pre/post natal clients.
As an extra treat to yourself, make an appointment for an Aromatherapy Massage or other specialized Skin and Body Care session with me. I am available for specialized Skin and Body Care on Monday mornings and Wednesday afternoons in
the doubles treatment room. MON, TUES, WED day appointments available.
