As a dancer, practitioner of yoga, and someone active in a variety of movement-based activities, Gay Schoene appreciates through experience the strains of physical activities, and the way muscles, tendons, and ligaments react to them. Her massages, while relaxing, extend deeply into tissues to promote freedom of movement, and release restrictions due to tightness or chronic muscle problems.

In her deeper therapeutic work Ms. Schoene strives to keep techniques adjusted to the tolerance and comfort level of each individual. She works to align her massage and listening skills with each person's therapeutic needs, and with each individual's goals for therapy.

After the massage, clients can further their sense of well-being by therapeutic beach walks, and bird watching in the adjacent Parker River Wildlife Refuge. The massage office is located on dunes directly next to the Refuge -- one of the USA's top destinations for wildlife viewing, and literally right outside the door.
