A Thoughtful Touch for the Body, Mind & Soul.

Therapeutic Massage by Elayne Rosa

About Elayne Rosa

Licensed Massage Therapist

Originally from Brazil, I started my education in 2015 at PMTI - Potomac Massage Training Institute in Washington DC. My passion for bodywork started after surviving a fight against breast cancer. During that time I learned how much touch can help to ease pain and guide the body to find better balance to heal itself.

A mindful touch can bless the body like no medication can. I'm also a Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist by Dr. Vodder International School in Oakland, California and certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Post Op Care method from Brazil.

I understand that treating the patient as a whole - Body, Mind & Soul - can create an inner balance that will make a difference overall, releasing tension in the body, calming the mind and nourishing the soul.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

We take in toxins from the air we breathe, the medications we take, the food products we eat, the chemicals we use to clean our house, etc.

Our Lymphatic System is responsible for getting rid of these toxins from our bodies, but it can get clogged up. Lymphatic massage can help the lymphatic system to eliminate all the toxin faster, helping the body to heal better after the surgery, it has a cleansing affect.

Lymphatic drainage also stimulates the immune system which helps you fight infection and it helps deliver nutrients to the tissues.

The lymphatic system doesn't have a big pump like our circulatory system. For loose fluid to make into the lymphatic system we must move. This is how walking is so important.

Lymphatic drainage massage works as a pump helping the lymphatic system to absorb the excess fluid on the body faster. For that to happen more effectively, the body will also need an essential fuel, water!

So the most important homework after a Lymphatic Drainage Massage is to drink plenty of water!

Assisted Stretching

Your body was made to move. Don't let stiffness limit your life.

What is an Assisted Stretching Practitioner?

You probably know that stretching is important, but did you know there is a deeper, more effective way to do it?

An Assisted Stretching Practitioner is a professional trained to manipulate a client's body through specific stretching techniques. Unlike the stretching you do alone on the gym floor, in this modality, you relax completely while the professional does the work.

Using advanced techniques such as PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) and gentle traction, the practitioner can isolate specific muscles and extend your range of motion far beyond what you could achieve on your own, all in a safe and controlled manner.

The Key Difference

In assisted stretching, your role is simply to breathe and relax. We take care of the biomechanics.
