What to Expect

Integrative Massage Therapy

Our massage therapists are trained in a variety of massage modalities to cater to your individual needs. Check your therapist's profile to see the modalities that they offer.

Depending on the modalities that you agree on with your therapist, you will undress to your comfort and get underneath a sheet. Please note that we follow strict draping policies. Only the area that is being actively worked on will be uncovered.

Our therapists are trained extensively in anatomy and physiology allowing them to collaborate with your care team and meet your body where it's at. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or looking to optimize physical performance, the work of our therapists complements physical therapy, acupuncture, occupational therapy, chiropractic care, and personal training.

All of our therapists are certified by the California Massage Therapy Council.

CranioSacral Therapy &
SomatoEmotional Release

At A Profound Touch of California, all purely CranioSacral Sessions will be done fully clothed. You may become deeply relaxed or even fall asleep during your session, you may talk a great deal, recalling memories or expressing emotions. Some clients will remain still during the entire session, hardly noticing the practitioner's evaluation and treatment, while others will experience profound energetic and physical shifts.

As membrane restrictions are released and the body begins to return to optimal functioning, many possible sensations may occur. The release may be felt as heat, pulsing, relaxation, or in many other ways. Because memories of trauma and injury are often stored in the connective tissue of the body, sometimes the release is accompanied by emotion or old memories related to the original cause of the restriction. When this happens, the patient and therapist work together to allow the expression of these patterns of issue memory, often dramatically reducing the level of pain or dysfunction in the area involved can vary widely.

The deeply relaxed state experienced during your session may elicit the desire to sleep for a few hours after your session. Some clients experience an increase in energy, reduction of pain or an increase in function immediately after their session, or they notice it develop gradually over the next few days or even weeks after their session.

Practitioners Specializing in CranioSacral Therapy are mentored by Jane Colacicco, BS, CMT, CST-T and have undergone training at Upledger Institute International.

In your first session, we’ll review your intake paperwork and begin with a conversation to get a sense of what you need most.

From there, you and your therapist will choose the treatment track that best aligns with your goals.
