Eileen Braden began practicing Shiatsu (based in Chinese medicine) in 2009 and completed her Swedish and Rehabilitation massage training in 2011. Eileen has successfully intergraded all of her varied training to provide for her clients a unique massage session. She is skilled in using acupressure points, trigger points, myofascial release, deep tissue and other techniques. Her clients experience both relief from their tensions, aches and pain and a deep relaxation. She successfully works in a point specific fashion on injures and chronic conditions as well, using techniques to first gently “coax” tissue into relaxation.
