Meet Anneke (She/They)
I would describe my work as deep tissue forward with elements of myofascial release and deep stretch.
I incorporates elements of Eastern medicine and has a wholistic approach to the body’s systems. Each session, I utilize silicone cupping, hot stones and myofascial scraping in each of her individually tailored treatments.
I am eager to collaborate and adapt to your needs, and enjoy I truly enjoy finding creative flow with individuals who are seeking a dynamic and engaged session.
Gnosis Bodywork holds a nourishing space for those seeking to untangle and unwind a nervous system in need of refuge.
Modalities included during your treatment:
-
Myofascial scraping (Gua Sha) is the act of scraping the skin with a metal, ceramic or stone tool to stimulate and release lactic acid built up within the muscles and fascia. Scraping encourages circulation and flushes lactic acid into the lymphatic system to be properly eliminated from the body. Sometimes this process is visible from the marks left on affected areas known as “petechia”.
-
Silicone Cups can be used to lift and stretch sticky fascia, separating it from muscles that it have become adhesed. Cupping, like Gua Sha, has a detoxifying effect and when left stationary over areas of tension, and similarly, can leave petechia; the circular rings we see on people post cupping treatment.
-
Stones are heated and used to warm tissues and ease sore muscles. Often, the stones are used to prepare for deeper work, cupping or scraping. This is also an excellent remedy for relieving a stressed nervous system that needs he to unwind.
