Thank you for your interest in my massage practice. I am a professional,
licensed Massage Therapist trained in Classical Western Massage and Shiatsu, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, with an
Associate Degree from the Swedish Institute, College of Health Sciences in New York City. I am also licensed in Rhode Island,
nationally certified, and am a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association. Offering professional, competent
body work in several modalities, every session is individually tailored to the specific needs of my client. Personal and professional
boundaries will be respected, and privacy and confidentiality are maintained and honored at all times.
My personal approach to body work is reflected in the name of my practice:
"With Ease". I approach the body with respect, gentleness and deep listening. Taking the time to prepare the tissue
for deeper work with thoroughly warming up the muscles and ligaments first, deep tissue work is never meant to
be painful in my massage sessions. In my shiatsu sessions, the pressure applied to acupressure points is adjusting in
firmness to my clients' comfort level.
With my background as a former dancer, and the history of Fibromyalgia - a chronic
muscle condition from which I fully recovered - physical pain was part of my life until I realized that with patience,
gentleness and self-care, healing, complete well-being and top physical performance are absolutely possible.
My sessions are supposed to remind you of how it feels to be really comfortable
in your body (again), and how to move through your life WITH EASE.
My best regards,
Ellen Jaedicke
