why massage is important: improve ROM

Maytree Massage meaning

by Lynn Tengler, Owner

In the beginning, I chose Massage and Bodywork, ultimately because my mother assured me I was good at finding all her tension knots. Many years later, my career in the Healing Arts profession has proven my mother absolutely correct. In honor of my Grandmother’s, and their mastery of providing care and nourishment most unconditionally, I chose the name Maytree Massage for my business. 

Both Grandmothers were creative, and both were accomplished seamstresses, and domestic Goddesses. Lorraine, was French Canadian, and I was the oldest grandchild at a long table of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Being so young, and understanding the French I heard better than speaking it, I started calling my grandmother, May. May, was short for memere, a French word for grandmother, that sounds more like may than mere. Only years later, when I was grown, did she correct me on the pet name I had given her. Maytree reminds me of Lorraine and all of my ancestors and the love and compassion shared at our family table.

I am Delighted to Share the Zen Shiatsu Way with Therapists Interested in Expanding Their Style of Massage.

Human Doing vs Human Being

Behind the dance of Being and Doing we find a Stillness arising from deep within. This intuitive connection to innate source is the definition of Zen.

Have you ever wondered what it means to be Zen?
Zen is that balanced state of mind, body and soul connection within oneself when harmony flows effortlessly. When the doing and the being unite in wholeness for the Human.

Zen is heightened intuition experienced as a serene sense of deeper knowing or understanding. Freeing blockages and stagnant energies that deplete life’s vitality.

At Maytree Massage, therapists expertly listen to you and your body, then curate a restorative service that maximizes optimal benefits for you.
