INTRODUCING H.Y.P. STUDIO BODYWORK with Bodyworker MAJA GILES WHERE: H.Y.P. WELLESLEY A full compliment of Massage, Active Isolated Stretching and Reiki energy work for body, mind and spirit.
MAJA'S
PASSION FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESShas been
fueled by her own experience as a lifelong athlete that includes
martial arts,
tennis, rowing, dance, and completion of the 2003 Boston Marathon.
Believing that optimum well-being is achieved through an awareness of
mind and
body interaction, Maja assists each client in cultivating an awareness
of
mind-body principles via therapeutic massage, bodywork, and health
education.
SHE COMBINES A CLINICAL AND INTUITIVE APPROACH to
each therapeutic treatment based on the individual goals and values of each
client. Maja is experienced in several types of massage including Deep
Tissue, Swedish, Sports, Pre/Perinatal, and Infant Massage. She is also
a practitioner of Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) - the Aaron Mattes Method,
and Usui Reiki.
ACTIVE ISOLATED STRETCHING (AIS)
is probably best known in the context of professional sports (Aaron Mattes, the
creator of this method, has worked with hundreds of Olympic and professional
athletes), but it is equally beneficial for addressing the usual physical
limitations that develop from every day stresses. It allows the body to repair
itself and to prepare for daily activity.
AIS CAN PREVENT or reverse declines in body functioning as a
result of injuries or aging, and increase range of motion, develop strength and flexibility,
and improve coordination or fine motor skills. Characteristics of
AIS include:
Specificity
Active initiation
Incremental assists
Gentle motion
Brief duration
Multiple repetitions
Deep breathing
WHAT'S in it for Clients?
General health enhancement
Injury prevention
Pain and injury treatment
Improvement of degenerative conditions
AIS SESSIONS are offered in 30, 60, and 90 minute increments,
depending upon the protocol that best serves the unique needs of each
individual client.
IN ADDITION TO MASSAGE, AIS AND BODYWORK, Maja has
worked in the Boston area as a Personal Trainer and Pilates
Teacher. At H.Y.P. Studio/Wellesley, Maja hopes to focus on the unique
relationship created with each client through mutual sharing and exchange of
knowledge to promote healing and relaxation. Outside of H.Y.P., Maja is wife to H.Y.P. Pilates Manager Shawn Giles, and mom to a fiery and
strong-willed three year old son.\
