Massage
As massage therapists, we often view the body through a lens of muscular health. The general philosophy being that if we have healthy muscles, the bones will all line up correctly, so our joints will be healthy and the body will be pain free. To understand muscle health we look at posture, movement, sensations (like pain, tingling or numbness), and the feeling of the muscle tissue. Using this perspective and our experience we will devise a treatment plan that will help you achieve your goals
for the massage.
A Lily Brenneck MASSAGE
A Session with Owner/Therapist Lily Brenneck. Our most experienced therapist, Lily's massage technique has evolved to combine her diverse training backgrounds in Deep Tissue Massage, Cranial Sacral, Reiki, Yoga Therapy, and Metaphysics. Her unique experience, perception and intuition skills allow her to tailor each treatment specifically for the client to help reach treatment goals.

Cranial Sacral MASSAGE
Cranial Sacral Massage is a soothing, non-invasive, hands on therapy focusing on treating the entire body,mind and spirit by addressing the bones of the skull, spinal cord, and sacrum. Sessions are often times deeply relaxing, similar to a state achieved by mediation or deep breathing exercises.
60min - $125 90min - $185
PREnatal MASSAGE
The body undergoes many natural anatomical changes during pregnancy, and massage can help make this process more comfortable. Prenatal massage improves circulation, relieves back pain and reduces swelling in the body. Prenatal massage uses a combination of deep and relaxing techniques to ease muscular tension then relax the body and mind to place of rest and release. Our massage tables are adjustable to make your session as relaxing as possible and include a removable middle so you can enjoy your session laying face down.
30min - $55 60min - $100 90min - $145
Reiki
Reiki is an energy healing technique that focuses on manipulating the human energy field known as Ch'i (also spelled Qi). Ch'i is an electromagnetic energy field emitted by living creatures, which has been studied most noticeably in Oriental Medicine. Prior to a Reiki session, you will discuss your goals for physical, emotional or spiritual healing with your therapist, then lie down in a comfortable position, while the therapist uses a series of either light touch or hands off movements to manipulate the flow of Ch'i through your body. Clients will often feel changes in temperature or tingling as the therapist moves over different parts of their body with a meditative trance, or dreamlike mental state during the session. Following a session clients often feel greater mental clarity and often insight gain insight into their session goals.
HOT STONE MASSAGE
A deeply relaxing massage experience. Hot stone massage begins with heated stones being placed on your entire body blanketing you in warmth to melt tension away. This is then followed by a deeply relaxing massage the areas preheated by the stones. This total body treatment is by far the most relaxing thing you can do during a snow storm. (Or just to treat yourself)

Acupuncture

| 10 | $722 |
Unlike modern Western medicine, which focuses on the health of particular organs, acupuncture is based on Eastern medical traditions that treat the body as a complete system, wherein the interaction between the organs is as important as each individual organ. When the organs are functioning properly they produce energy that both nourishes the body and circulates throughout it. This energy travels in pathways along the limbs, trunk, and back. These pathways can become blocked due to trauma, physical or emotional, as well as organ dysfunction. Just as the healthy function of the organs fill the pathways, free flow in these pathways heals the organs. Acupuncture takes advantage of this bidirectional relationship, and uses needles to activate key points in the body, change the flow in the pathways, and achieve the desired health outcome.
Acupuncture is best known for treating pain. However, it can be used just as effectively for digestive problems, sleep issues, fertility, fatigue, stress, and even preventing and curing illness. Allergies, numbness, and tremors are also commonly treated.

About
When my Wife and I established Green Street Massage, we did so with the goal of creating a place in Jamaica Plain where we could bring passion for yoga and fitness along with our skills as massage therapists to the community, so others could enjoy the heath benefits these practices have brought into our lives.
Both Lily and I, grew up living active lifestyles, that included years of formal martial arts training, competitive sports, and performance dance. We have formally studied a number of bodywork modalities, yoga disciplines, strength and conditioning, Reiki, and hold Doctorates in Divinity. Informally, through self guided study and apprenticeships, we continue to study herbal medicine, pathology, nutrition, spirituality, meditation, and alternative healing to try and gain a holistic perspective on the body, movement, and healing.
Rather then use one type of massage or another when treating our clients, we apply a more holistic approach where we look at your health history, normal activities, and posture to get a better understanding of your body and how you move. We then draw on our backgrounds of training to devise a course of bodywork that will be most effective at improving muscle health, flexibility, and posture.
We have found that massage, especially in combination with flexibility and strength training, can help improve not only muscular health but overall health and wellness. Benefits include greater body awareness, decreased stress, improved balance and pain relief. It is with these goals that we began in our one room massage studio and now offer in our new expanded space including a room for yoga and fitness training.
Please feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email with any questions you might have, we look forward to hearing from you.
