newsbriefsIsabelle brings experience from her previous work at KingstonPlantation and the Hibiscus Spa at the Marriott Resort at<strong>Grand</strong>e Dunes. “My personal style is known as ’Perfect Pressure,’which describes my hands’ & fingers’ ability to find thedepth of pressure needed for each individual to experience blissin their session,” Isabelle says.Sallie Gentry calls her work “intentional and conscious.”“I approach each session by paying ‘exquisite attention’ to thephysical structure and musculoskeletal configuration,” says Sallie.“One must pay attention to every signal from the patient,even the most subtle ones.” In addition to traditional massage,Sallie’s work includes craniosacral therapy, which relies onintense sensitivity to balance the almost imperceptible pulsesof craniosacral fluid rhythms, and allows her to provide a morecomplete body-mind therapy session.For more information on Cassena Spa at 9428 OceanHighway 17 in Pawley’s Island, call Isabelle Boyd and SallieGentry at 314-4611, or email cassenaspa1@gmail.com.
