Sunny has been advancing her formal education in health science and related fields for over 15 years. She has provided massage therapy full time on the Seacoast for almost a decade.
While gaining experience and training, most of her interest has involved massage therapy for the nervous system, autoimmune conditions, and reducing many symptoms and discomforts associated with sinus issues, TMJ Dysfunction, tension headaches, forward-head posture, cervical spine compression, tendon and nerve restrictions.
Her massage techniques are ideal for relieving stress related discomforts due to: high emotional stress, fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, migraines, TMJD, upper body loaded activities/careers, and more.
She methodically designs therapeutic sessions to address nervous system regulation, and specializes in facial/jaw, neck and shoulder mobility.
Some of her favorite techniques to utilize for relaxing benefits include Swedish, Hawaiian Lomilomi, and Reiki. Sunny loves to educate clients about trigger points, pain referral patterns and connective tissue. For more intensive and focused bodywork, she enjoys incorporating therapeutic stretching and fascial mobilization techniques. One of her favorite approaches is Thai massage, a session in relaxed activewear/clothing, with a therapeutic flow of gentle stretching and meridian acupressure.
While Sunny is at Body Mechanix, she is always willing to exchange stories about her sweet cat Miss Bee, her current herbal tea blends and essential oil favorites. She also loves a good astrology birth chart discussion and swapping creative, healthy recipes!

Relaxation:
Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
