Trager®, Massage

This is very rewarding work. I love to feel that I have made someone happier, more relaxed, more at home in their body. This is one way I believe I can contribute to making the world a better place.

Bodywork speaks to stresses and tensions in ways there are no words for. It goes beyond words, beyond talk therapy, beyond thought, beyond reason, straight to the core of blockages, which keep us from being as relaxed and comfortable in our bodies as we can be.

We live in a very fast-paced world that forces us to operate at an uncomfortable level. We do things to adjust in order to keep up. We build up tight armor. I believe bodywork gives us an opportunity to let go and find our center again. In addition to the obvious physical benefits, I am attracted to the profound deep emotional balancing that takes place.

I completed studies at the Trager Institute in Mill Valley and did intermediate training. I was also very fortunate to receive a session from Milton Trager himself. I have been doing Trager work since 1985.

“
I am a big fan of Hot Stone Massage. Over the years, I have been able to receive them from several therapists. Recently, I had new Health Spa Healdsburg version with Molly, which includes a prelude Swedish Massage to prepare and relax the body to receive the full benefits of the hot stones. Other Hot Stone Massage had always left me longing for the hands on aspect. This combined form of Hot Stone Massage has both parts of the massage enhancing the other and a great blend is the result…the personal touch and the deep relaxation.”

“
Molly's Trager massage is absolute heaven. The gentle rocking seems to melt away all my aches and in no time I'm as pliable as a limp noodle. The steady rhythm takes me away from my stresses and worries and eases me into a calm, relaxed state. When she's done I feel so refreshed and clear headed with so much more energy. I used to think I needed to get pounded and kneaded to get all the knots and kinks out but now I know that there's a less vigorous - and for me, more effective – alternative.”

“
From the beginning I loved the movement of Trager®. It was exciting because it was so different from any other bodywork I had learned.

Being a dancer, I loved feeling my body stretched and moved during the Trager sessions.”
