What's Your Niche?

Curious! We all can do a lot of different modalities and combine them in to one distinctive massage. My question is this: If you had to narrow it down to one, what is your niche or favorite modality? What do you excell at and is your driving purpose with massage?

Being a Reiki Master, I tend to combine Reiki in with my regular massage.I find that using Reiki within the massage goes deeper than just surface healing. The healing occur on many additional levels, not just the physical level. I seem to have more success with using Reiki within the massage. People tend to de-stress and heal faster than with just traditional means. The trick is getting clients to try it if they are not familiar with it. Most people who try it love it, I have only come across a few people who did not like it, and that is usually because they do not really understand it. My main goal with using this method is to facilitate healing in the client. I do not heal the client per se, I just assist the client in healing themselves.

I really like Aromatherapy but do not get to practice it at the chiropractors office I currently work for I also like heated stone with deep tissue I have a hard time picking favorites in anything I do I don't have a real favorite color or stuff like that because I like things for the different things that they do for my life or depending on the way I feel that day. So I have liked to do the different modalities that I have learned in continuing education and the ones learned in school I have a few that I am interested in taking as continuing education as soon as I can afford to do them. So I guess you could say I don't have a niche I am just a whim of a girl
