Hi and thanks for visiting my site

Swedish Balance!

​I am Kicki Hjortmarker, a Holistic Massage Therapist on the West Side since 2005, Playa Del Rey, Los Angeles.

I am celebrating my 20th year in business this year, and a life-time-passion for body/mind/spirit healing. 

I integrate Neuromuscular Massage-, Deep Tissue-, Craniosacral Therapy-, Pilates-, Therapeutic Swedish massage-,

and more for chronic pain-, Body/Mind/spirit healing, and stress relief.

I find it important to strive for balance in all areas of life to feel our best.

I grew up in Sweden near nature always having trees and mountains to climb; an ocean to swim in and a beach to sunbathe on. I would hear the sounds of cows, roosters, and horses from the nearby farms. 

I lived in a pretty regular family with mom, dad, and two older brothers. 

I always liked school and loved to learn. I danced ballet and competed in gymnastics.

These childhood memories have formed my awareness and importance to balance in life, and, ever since, I have always searched for ways to live my life in balance and to the fullest. 

It has been a life long passion to share and convey how we can live our best lives peacefully and pain free. 

      My life has taken many different turns since I left Sweden, which has been both truly amazing and sometimes not so amazing, but I still really love the journey of life on this planet earth.

Swedish Balance for Pain Relief and Body/mind Healing in Playa del Rey

Why integrate different techniques?
 

While NMT, Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is a very effective healing method, the body often needs more than one type of treatment to heal, especially if your injury is chronic and you have been in pain for a long time.

 

Maybe you tried Trigger Point Therapy before, and it helped for a while, and then you stopped benefiting from the treatments for unknown reasons. I therefore integrate other healing methods.

 

I often integrate Craniosacral Therapy; a method to work with the Central Nervous System, Myofascial Release; a form of Deep Tissu​e work to release muscle and fascia, and Somato Emotional Release; a true full body/mind method to release emotional, spiritual, and physical trauma stored in body tissues.

I also may use techniq​ues such as Cupping, Visceral Manipulation, Lymphatic Drainage, Reflexology, Deep Tissue, Myofacial release, Swedish/classical Massage flow, and Acupressure for increased blood-, energy-, and lymph flow.

By now you might wonder if I ever would treat someone who would like a one time regular Deep Tissue , Sports, or Swedish Massage  (or a combination of these) for immediate stress relief, pain relief, and relaxation benefits;

the answer is-

Yes, absolutely!

 

I am further a Reiki master and may, with your permission, use Reiki energy as a healing aid.
