I am a Certified Massage Practitioner, practicing therapeutic holistic massage. I integrate a variety of techniques including Thermotherapy, Aromatherapy, Joint Release Movements, Shiatsu and Swedish Massage for a customized treatment every time. Sessions stimulate the muscles and lymphatic system so the effects last long after the treatments are over.

As people are entire entities, I enjoy researching treatments and techniques that support and encourage the healing of any particular health situation, recommending other health professionals if needed, in the interest of the health and growth of the whole person. My intention is to create an environment that is relaxed, intuitive, comforting, and rejuvenating yet grounding for the physical, spiritual, and emotional bodies.

My preference is to work with those individuals who see their health in an active and on-going way. You eat right, exercise and drink water, and strive to do anything to keep it in good working order.

I have been working in the holistic field for a decade. Beginning with aromatherapy essential oils I decided to further explore my interest in health by incorporating the healing properties of massage.

I studied and graduated from Metropolitan Massage Therapy Group in 2004. Since then, I continue my studies and am also certified in Prenatal Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Deep Flow Massage and Reflexology.

Treatments include:

The Mariana Trench - Like the deepest part of the ocean, this two hour massage with aromatherapy, thermotherapy (heat) and the chimes of Ancient Tibetan Singing Bowls, will have you sinking into deep bliss.

Endless Sea - a one hour massage of your back, neck, shoulders and your feet, includes heated towels and aromatherapy.

Deep Blue - a deep tissue treatment gets right to your tense knots and smoothes them away.

Bouncing Baby - Prenatal Massage to soothe you and your unborn child using a specially designed pillow allowing you to lie on your stomach during massage.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage - move toxins through your congested areas and out of your body. This is best done in a series of 3-6 treatments. Very helpful in getting rid of Cellulite.

Reflexology - applies pressure to certain parts of the feet in order to promote relaxation and healing elsewhere in the body. It is based on the belief that each part of the body is interconnected through the nervous system to the feet.

Ear Candling - Get rid of that waxy build up with this safe and efficient method.

"I discovered Susan of Oceana Massage at a time when I needed not only a really good massage but also, spiritual healing. Susan's service goes above and beyond other massage therapists. She seeks out what you need not just physically but emotionally and spiritually as well. My muscles felt worked but not 'beat-up'. They felt soft and supple after her massage techniques but more than that, I felt as though I had just done a Yoga class as I enjoyed this incredible sense of calming balance resonating throughout my entire body and mind. I would highly recommend Oceana Massage to everyone!"

"I have found that regular massages helped me get in touch with my changing body. Susan has been able to release joints when it's really important to monitor changes in my body's weight, posture and usage and to alleviate symptoms of pregnancy (swelling, indigestion, nausea). Susan knows her stuff!" - Lynda, 34 weeks pregnant
