Integrated Bodywork

Integrated Bodywork is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary approach to massage that provides relaxation while at the same time detoxifying the body.

I hold a Certificate in Integrated Bodywork from The Healing Bodywork Centre in Vancouver, where I was trained in bodywork techniques from a variety of disciplines, such as Swedish massage as well as the basics of lymphatic drainage, foot reflexology, Shiatsu (Japanese acupressure), and Polarity (balancing the body's subtle energies)

Relaxation Massage

Depending on your symptoms, needs, and goal for the session, I combine different techniques into a flowing massage that will de-stress and balance your mind, body, and soul. A complete, full-body massage is 90 minutes; longer or shorter sessions are available. All massages are non-sexual. Outcalls to your residence are available at an additional charge.

Appointments

Appointments are available:

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday
between 9 AM and 9 PM
in Mt. Pleasant near Cambie/15th in Vancouver.

To book an appointment, please call 604-871-0685.

Please note that massage is not a substitute for medical care. If you have any health concerns at this time, please contact your doctor.

The Importance of Touch

Physical contact improves our health as well as our relationships. Touch is as important as sunlight - without it, we become depressed, our immune system is compromised, and emotional pain and physical damage get worse. Why? When we're touched our bodies release oxytocin, one of those "happy hormones" that affect everything from how fast wounds heal to how much we trust other people and it increases the level of endorphins, leaving us with a greater sense of well-being.

Massage is known to relieve muscle tension and stiffness, increase circulation, and promote lymphatic drainage, but it does so much more. Massage:

  • boosts the immune system, improving the body's natural defenses against diseases;
  • decreases the occurrence of headaches and insomnia;
  • lowers diastolic blood pressure;
  • increases serotonin levels and reduces cortisol (stress) levels, distress symptoms, anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation

 

Testimonials

My massage sessions with Ulrike are always wonderfully relaxing and healing. With her adept touch and calming energy, she skillfully soothes my entire being - body, mind and soul - leaving me feeling completely rejuvenated and rebalanced. I am already looking forward to my next visit.
- Cory H., Vancouver

I went through the shock of experiencing a recurrence of breast cancer and everything in my world seemed so scary and unstable. During this time, I had the opportunity of receiving a massage with Ulrike. I can't describe enough what a comforting experience that was for my soul and body. For my soul, she provided a sanctuary, a safe and nurturing place when everything outside was so threatening. To my body, which was going through so much pain and stress, the gentle massage I received from her was the loving and healing touch that it longed for so much. I am very grateful having received her nurturing massage when my body and soul needed it most.
- Rosa S., Vancouver

Thank you Ulrike for sharing your gift with me. The comfort of your sanctuary was a gentle retreat from life's pressures. That I could be still for 1 1/2 hours was not expected but that it could be this enjoyable was a revelation. Words cannot justly illustrate the full experience of my massage with you - the profound relaxation, the sense of peace and balance, the grounding, and the feeling of connection with my body. I look forward to many more.
- Eric D., White Rock

For over three decades, I have been teaching, practicing, and receiving a whole range of specialized bodywork and massages. My body really knows what it wants and I was truly impressed with Ulrike's special gift of touch. In a totally professional setting she combines intuition and technical skills in perfect balance. I felt wonderful! I highly recommend her services.
- Maryse Coté, Tantra teacher and trainer 

After a long weekend of horse back riding in the Coastal Mountains of BC, I knew just where to go for a soothing massage. I was pleased to find Ulrike competent and very professional. I believe she has that not too common healing touch which leaves me renewed each time.

I am a bodyworker myself and I have very high standards for massage. I can happily say that Ulrike met all my expectations and more. She has great strength, presence and sensitivity. I left our session feeling completely relaxed, smoothed out and invigorated.
- Ki R., Vancouver

Ulrike has a professional presence about her that allowed me to give myself over to her hands in a healing way. She was even able to massage my very sensitive feet, that's how relaxed I was.
