Subtle is still intentional
Light contact is not an unfinished version of deep massage. It is a distinct choice for people and moments that call for less input.
A new Lovelock chapter
Lovelock Massage is preparing to move.
We're planning to welcome you at 921 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive around the first week of November. The exact date is still taking shape, so appointments remain at our Baylen Street location until we confirm the transition.

Craniosacral work for people who needless force, not more.
A gentle, quiet approach for rest, subtle body awareness, and people who prefer lighter touch.
The approach
Craniosacral therapy, made personal.
Craniosacral work is a subtle form of hands-on bodywork. Sessions use light, sustained contact and periods of stillness rather than deep pressure or constant movement. For people who feel overstimulated, tender, or simply curious about a quieter way of receiving touch, that simplicity can be the point.
You remain clothed and usually rest on your back, with positioning adjusted for comfort. Contact may be offered at the feet, sacrum, shoulders, or head. I do not force a response or promise a particular outcome; the work is an invitation to notice, rest, and let the session unfold at a manageable pace.
This may be a fit for
A session with a reason—without a rigid routine.
- 01People who prefer gentle contact over deep pressure
- 02Days when the nervous system already feels full
- 03Clients interested in quiet, body-awareness-centered work
- 04Anyone seeking a fully clothed bodywork option
What to expect
Clear, collaborative, and responsive.
- 01
Settle in clothed
Wear soft, comfortable clothing. We arrange the table and supports so you can rest without strain.
- 02
Agree on contact
We discuss what the work may include, areas you prefer to avoid, and how you would like to communicate during the session.
- 03
Allow quiet
The session uses light holds and spacious pacing. You do not need to perform, visualize, or create a specific sensation.
- 04
Return gradually
We leave time at the end to orient, sit up slowly, and put words to anything you want to remember.
How I work
Useful care begins with attention.
No outcome is forced
Bodies respond differently. I offer attentive contact and honest scope without promising that one session will solve a symptom or condition.
Choice remains available
You may speak, stay quiet, ask what I am doing, request a change, or end contact at any point.
A note on scope: Craniosacral work is offered as massage/bodywork for relaxation and body awareness, not as diagnosis or treatment of disease. Continue working with qualified healthcare professionals for medical concerns.
Do I stay clothed during craniosacral therapy?
Yes. Wear comfortable, flexible clothing such as a T-shirt, soft pants, or leggings. Shoes are removed, and blankets or bolsters can be added for comfort.
What does craniosacral work feel like?
Most contact is light and sustained, with quiet pauses. Experiences vary: you may notice warmth, breath, subtle movement, deep rest, or nothing dramatic at all. There is no correct response.
Can I combine it with massage?
Often, yes. Tell me what you are hoping for when we begin, and we can decide whether a blended session or a primarily craniosacral session makes the most sense that day.
