NMT Integrative Massage
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. NMT also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
My NMT Integrative Massage sessions are tailor-made to fit the needs of the client, with varying levels of pressure & techniques such as Myofascial Release, Trigger point Therapy, Shiatsu, Assisted Stretching, Hot Stones/ Hot Towels, Topical Anti-inflammatory application and Aromatherapy.
These sessions can be helpful to alleviate conditions of the Upper Extremity such as Frozen Shoulder, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Rotator Cuff Pain, Stiff Neck, Migraines, & TMJ Disorder.
Conditions of the Lower Extremity such as Sciatica, Low Back Pain, Hip Misalignment/ ROM issues, Piriformis Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis & Knee Pain can also be improved with NMT.
Additional tools such as Dry Heat Moxa, Guasha, Vibrating Percussion, & Cupping may be used if needed and/or requested. Please verbalize any sensitivity, allergy, and all concerns prior to hands on therapy.
For deep pressure, please plan a recovery period afterwards to allow the soft tissues & nervous system time to reset. Extra hydration and rest are always advised!
Intra-Oral Buccal Massage for TMJ Disorder
Intra-Oral Buccal Massage is performed with a gloved finger inside the mouth to address the Pterygoid muscles of the jaw. Pressure is light to moderate. It only takes a few minutes to release these muscles and massage surrounding tissues of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ).
Prior to entering the oral cavity, I assess and treat muscles of the neck, head, & face. A thirty minute session can provide a good amount of relief, however, a sixty minute session allows time to perform Integrative NMT to the back, shoulders, and arms as well, resulting in maximum efficacy.
*Add 10 extra minutes to your NMT Integrative Massage for this TMJ specific TX and feel better!
Thai Yoga Bodywork
Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga massage, because we use hands, knees, legs, and feet to move the recipient into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches.
Also known as "Lazy Man's Yoga", it is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. Passive stretching, rhythmic compression, and acupressure along Sen lines helps to unblock stagnant energy & release holding patterns in the body. The result is better circulation, range of motion, and overall improved, peaceful posture.
No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. Loose fitting or stretchy clothing is best. The massage is performed on a floor mat with cushions, or in an outdoor setting over the grass, or at the beach on sand. (pictured below @ Rockaway Beach, NY, circa 2017)
Weather permitting, Thai Yoga Bodywork in natural environments can be both invigorating, and quite relaxing. It is truly a Holistic experience!

Abdominal Hara Massage
Eastern medical tradition believes that that the center of the body’s strength is in the abdominal area, called the Hara. In Western anatomical terms, the Hara is the area between the rib cage and the pelvic bone, which contains important structural core muscles (including the iliacus & psoas), and visceral organs where digestive and reproductive functions take place. Since food is digested in this area and we receive our energy from food, if the Hara is not functioning well, the energy you have available to maintain your health and self heal will be reduced. Regular massage of this area will help to keep your intestines flexible, promote efficient movement of food through the body, boost your immune system, and increase your energy.
This abdominal region is also home to the Solar Plexus Chakra, which is energetically linked to ego, willpower and the element of fire. It is responsible for self-esteem, boundaries, and courage. When balanced and flowing, the solar plexus chakra can help people feel confident, empowered, and free.
Combining Shiatsu, Thai Yoga Massage, Reiki, and Neuromuscular Therapies, makes my Abdominal Hara Massage highly effective & powerful.
*Pregnant people should not receive this service. Please consult a physician regarding specific health conditions prior to booking. Contact me with any questions or concerns.
Reiki Energy Bodywork
Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field & chakras to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands, or no touch contact, to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
Included in these sessions are a preparatory guided meditation, which allows for activation & connection to the Reiki Energy. I may create a Sound Bath with singing bowls & chimes, along with the use of Aromatherapy to help facilitate this initiation of energetic flow.
Reiki is suitable for everyone, regardless of their age, abilities or medical condition. Other forms of Bodywork & Massage may be contraindicated for some, making Reiki Energy Healing a valuable & accessible modality for all.
Breath & Body™ Coaching
Breath & Body™ sessions by Hauer Power Holistic® are designed to facilitate confidence & empowerment through movement education, strength training, and stress management - meeting you where you are in the present - with specific, realistic, and very attainable goals.
Movement Education uses a somatic approach to improving your individual body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
As a martial artist, my training in body mechanics & mobility was enhanced with valuable insights from an Eastern perspective. I use this wisdom as part of a system to coach others in self discipline and longevity. This is especially beneficial knowledge and ideal practice as we age.
Stress management is paramount to both physical and mental health. Diaphragmatic Breathwork is an integral & essential element to this program. Breath can be used to engage the nervous system and re-program triggers which create imbalances over time. You will learn to use your breath to find a sense of calm, regulate stress responding, and improve overall musculoskeletal flexibility.
After having my hands and eyes on a body during massage, I gain an informed understanding of which muscle groups are hypertonic (tight) and which ones may be requiring activation. I will use proprioceptive facilitation & postural assessment to instruct proper exercises and create your custom program.
Strength Training with me is easy! You will learn to use your own body weight to attain tone & power. Practicing calisthenics will make this process simple, as no gym is needed.
Weekly and monthly scheduling is recommended in advance. Please message me to get started!
* Please note: Packages must be used within allotted time frames. Cancellation of an appointment within less than 24 hrs notice will be a forfeited session. *
