Ama Greenrose Manasse

I offer a holistic approach to Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. Most sessions are an integration of various techniques I draw from my vast toolbox, gathered from over 19 years of trainings and practice.  Through a thorough intake process, I co-design each session with clients, to best address symptoms, health goals and interests. 

My specialties include certification in Oncology Massage in which I work with clients before, during, and after treatment for cancer. I also have training in advanced Pre- & Perinatal (Pregnancy) Massage, scar tissue remediation and Manual Lymph Drainage/MLD (Vodder).

Primary techniques I utilize include Swedish, Reflexology, Acupressure, Myofascial Release, still holds, joint range of motion, active and assisted stretching, guided breathing and visualization, and vibration healing (with music and/or a tuning fork).  In addition, my work is informed by other modalities, including Cranial Sacral Therapy, Polarity Therapy, Shiatsu and Trager (rocking, shaking and vibration).  

Clients have the opportunity to experience the benefits of a Biomat Mini, a far-infrared heating pad composed of amethyst and tourmaline.

Aside from Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, I offer Somatic Experiencing for trauma resolution. The primary goal is to assist you in moving through and beyond present symptoms caused by past traumatic, overwhelming and stressful situations.  I accompany clients on a gentle journey to help increase self-awareness, move stuck survival energy, re-integrate and re-organize the nervous system, build resilience and capacity to respond appropriately to stressors, and gather coherence to live from your core self and thrive in daily life and/or unusual circumstances.

Working with focus on your body in present time, and re-stabilizing ease and flow in the nervous system, clients sit in a chair, lay on the massage table or stand. Most sessions include some combination of verbal interaction, touch, movements and exercises with playful tools. 

If you would like to schedule an appointment for Massage and Bodywork, Somatic Experiencing, or a combination of both, or if you have questions, please contact me. Text or call (415)218-1477 or AmaDawnGreenrose@yahoo.com
