Sacred Healing Touch

Deep Tissue is a massage using slower strokes, thumbs, forearms, and elbows to help release the chronic patterns of muscular tension. Unlike Swedish Massage where the strokes go with the muscle fibers, Deep Tissue uses strokes also across the muscle fibers. Thus, I include cross fiber friction where necessary. The more intense movements and techniques such as deep finger and forearm/elbow pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and can cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief.

The goal is to relax the entire body, to feel more connected, and to reduce physical and emotional stress. This is accomplished through a soothing style of massage that creates a sense of relaxation and renewed energy. The techniques incorporate rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart, circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, and stretching.

Hot Stone Massage is also ideal for muscular aches, stress and anxiety, back pain, poor circulation, Fibromyalgia, rheumatic and arthritic conditions.

Hot Stone Massage has the ability to provide deeper muscle and tissue relaxation, which in turn releases more toxins and improves circulation. It has also been applied in the treatment of insomnia and depression.

My name is Sabine Plunkett. I am a dedicated, experienced Licensed Massage Therapist and extensively-trained Certified Reiki Master/Teacher.

I began my healing career with Reiki in 1995, when I was trained in Hamburg, Germany. After having worked with the energy fields of the human body for many years, I also became very interested in learning the physical manipulations of soft tissue and thus decided to add massage therapy to my knowledge & skills. I graduated from Baltimore School of Massage in Maryland in 2004, completing more than 637 hours of training in bodywork, physiology, and pathology. Both, physical soft tissue manipulation and energy healing allow me to offer a very holistic approach to my therapies.

I have great enthusiasm and passion for your wellness and healing and consider myself to be professional, highly-skilled, intuitive and mindful of my clients needs. I offer my clients education, practical knowledge, skilled and intuitive healing abilities that assist in promoting balance and well-being for body, mind, and soul.

I offer a variety of therapeutic massage modalities with special attention to Deep Tissue/Treatment work & Relaxation. For detailed information please refer to my Service Page.

I also teach Reiki and offer Reiki treatments. Energy work helps to support the body's innate ability to heal itself and balance its energy as one moves toward more optimal health, wellness, and personal growth.
