Healing Massage Therapy

Café of Life Marin offers healing, relaxing massage therapy in our beautiful Mill Valley office. We specialize in deep tissue massage for sport injuries, arthritic conditions and repetitive stress injury.  We also offer pregnancy massage.  

Although you do not need to be a chiropractic patient to receive massage therapy at Café of Life Marin, many of our patients do choose to use our massage services because of the additive benefit that massage therapy provides.

Benefits of Chiropractic with Massage

If you are receiving chiropractic care, massage therapy can help your adjustments have greater impact, since massage loosens the muscles around your joints. Massage therapy treatments at Café of Life Marin can also be doctor directed. Since you are evaluated before your massage therapy begins. Dr. Seth Labott can fill the therapist in on what is going on with your body, what the focus of your massage therapy should be and how the therapist can best assist in the healing of your condition. 

Often times, it is the muscles surrounding your skeleton that are contributing to your lack of alignment, since tight muscles pull on bones. Over the years, this pulling can lead to displacement that causes you discomfort and pain. Muscles that are loosened by massage will pull less on your bones and result in less distortion in your frame.

Pairing massage with your chiropractic care at Café of Life Marin is a great way to help alleviate your tight muscles and ensure that your spinal adjustments are as effective as possible.

Modalities: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Pre-Natal,Thai, Reflexology, Shiatsu

What drew me to massage as a career? I grew up seeing my dad getting massage all the time and he was feeling better every time! I'm trying to give massage to my family and friends because it helps them feel better and I feel better too.

Favorite body part to work on? Why? Lower back and glutes muscle because I injured my lower back long time ago and I have to study many ways to make me get better!

In my downtime, I love to spend time with my family. I love to take my daughter to the beach and can't wait to take her to see movies. I love eating so I'm enjoying cooking a lot!
