““The special thing about massage is that it allows us to experience our interconnectedness. So often we’re a bunch of monkeys running around with our cell phones and computers and then we get the opportunity to hop on a massage table—and we are reminded of our humanity again. This is terribly basic yet incredibly vital to keeping our minds clear and our resilience up.””
““What I love so much about physical bodywork is that you can’t disregard or detach it from the emotional, psychological, and spiritual work being done alongside. We’re still just birthing the body-mind connection. To so many, especially in our culture, this is an avoided or unknown concept with all the quick and “convenient” fixes in our multi-tasked and foggy scheduled lifestyles. However, if we slow for a moment, return to the most natural and necessary thing we do, breathe, we begin to hear everything else the body is telling us. We have the power ultimately to manifest beautiful health and ease in ourselves or absolute sickness and dis-ease. This knowledge is truly our greatest gift. Massage, to me, is the second most natural thing the body desires and needs after breathwork; it allows us to oxygenate, circulate, move, and feel everything.””
““The two most powerful tools I’ve discovered for connection with others and with my own being are conscious breathing and curiosity. With each breath, I’m nourishing and balancing myself. I’m helping my awareness catch up and stay connected with my present moment experience. The more curiosity I bring to this moment, the more capable I become of honoring the things it tells me. When I’m present with my own experience, I become far more capable of being truly present with another person. Over the years these basic tools have become a way I can deliver a particular kind of healing. My hope is that my work also seeds these invaluable tools into the lives of my clients.””
“Adrian offers his clients present, embodied, therapeutic deep tissue work. He is informed by a specialized study in the right use of body mechanics, structure, and pressure which translates into a massage experience that incorporates firm, consistent compression and targeted treatment applications that are both nourishing and elicit lasting change. Through soft tissue techniques, postural assessment, and range of motion, he addresses everything from chronic tension patterns to acute injury recovery.”
