Product/Service

I help women and children live happier, healthier lives by reducing stress and teaching good living practices.  I use Thai massage, herbs and essential oils as my main tools.

Thai massage is a deeply relaxing massage technique which is distinctive in several ways.  The client is clothed in loose, comfortable clothing and lies on a mat on the floor.  Instead of rubbing, Thai massage uses gentle compressions which some people have said feel like a big cat walking up you.  And finally, Thai massage has passive yoga-like stretches which leave you feeling open and relaxed.

I use essential oils, herbs and nutrition as a way of supporting a person's health at home.  The plant world is our friend.

I massage mostly mothers and a mother's life is full of responsibilities to others.  Her head is full of blah blah about how to care for those she loves.  When I give a massage, I hope to create a peaceful experience where the noise of her everyday life stops.  When she can be quiet, she can remember her deeper truths, reconnect with herself, and meet her needs.  I teach her to be in charge of her own health.  Through these experiences, I teach self-respect, self-responsibility, and self-realization to the women I serve.

Buying Local

I love buying from local businesses.  I love knowing the business owner herself, and hearing her story about why and how she started.  I guess I'm a kind of "star watcher."  In this time of internet and global connectedness, we often think the "big names" of our lives are people "out there" somewhere. When I buy local, I take pride in supporting Madison's own "big names".  And besides, I get to spot the business owners in the grocery store.

History

I have been practicing Thai massage and Aromatherapy since 2005, when I started Amethyst Dreams, LLC.  However, I have spent my life learning and teaching natural health.  My first experiences with women's health were in 1982, when I was an advocate at the women's clinic at the Madison Community Health  Center.  Back in those days, armed only with our own speculums and a bunch of herbal remedies, we endeavored to teach women to be masters of their own health care.  Now my approach is less flamboyant, but no less committed to helping women find physical health and spiritual happiness.
