Our Services
We provide group packages, helping large corporations promote a healthier way of life for their employees. And we work with athletes for ongoing rehabilitation as well as in-home healthcare clients and patients with disabilities.
Swedish Massage
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.
Deep Tissue Massage
Designed to remove severe tension, deep tissue massage is a technique used to relieve both muscles and connective tissue below the surface. It helps to improve the range of motion and heal injuries below the surface.
Hot Stone/ Cold Stone Contrast Therapy
Smooth stones are heated and then lubricated with oil or essential oils. The therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, the use of massage stones induces deep relaxation and provides a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering.
Chair Massage Therapy
Chair Massage is performed in a specially designed chair with your clothes on. It is excellent for relaxation and more, depending on the technique(s) used by your massage therapist.
Sports Massage Therapy
Performed mostly on athletes, the sports massage is perfect for the active individual with tight muscles. Whether you work out every day or every now and then, sports massage involves relaxation of the muscles and stretching of the limbs for increased flexibility and maximum performance. Whether you choose sixty minutes or the recommended ninety minutes, sports massage is what we recommend for the active individual.
Treatment for Sciatica
Sciatica is pain affecting the back, hip, and outer side of the leg caused by compression of a spinal nerve root in the lower back. Often owing to degeneration of an intervertebral disc, several techniques and modalities are required to treat it. We recommend ninety minutes to perform an effective assessment and treatment.
Prenatal Massage Therapy
Designed to help the mother to relax and feel like a queen while clinging to her favorite pillow, the mother is placed in a side-lying position for her comfort. It is your special moment to retreat from everyday stress. We usually recommend a ninety-minute massage for you to experience the joy of relaxation: however, sixty minutes works as well. Prenatal massage helps prevent stress on weight-bearing joints, restores postural balance, and normalizes joint range of motion.
Foot Reflexology
The foundation on which we stand every day. They take on all of our weight and stress throughout the day. I perform on that base to tap into the internal organs which are represented in the feet, hands, and ears. Reflexology can help stimulate these organs by improving circulation, reducing aches and pains, reducing stress and it feels good. Contraindicated when infections, broken bones, broken skin, bruises or scraps, people with blood vessels and capillaries that break easily or during pregnancy.
Energy Work - Polarity
Polarity Therapy uses light touch and gentle rocking to help relax your muscles and align your body’s energy. The theory and principle being there is a pattern of energy in the human body that the body uses to heal itself. We harness that energy and apply it in every massage modality.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. Parallel to the venous system, it is a secondary pathway to the heart. Designed to help reduce edema after surgery, decrease the sympathetic response, and increase parasympathetic tone. A free phone consultation and a treatment plan are designed during your first visit.
Swedish Massage with Aromatherapy
We combine your favorite essential oils with soft relaxing music to transform you from the daily grind to your quiet place.
Couples Massage Therapy
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation and enjoy a special time with each other. All couples are welcome.
Cupping/Decompression Therapy
Cupping or Decompression therapy combines an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist places cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction with a traditional massage. The suction and negative pressure provided by combining cupping with massage can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system. Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pain, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite.
Essential Oils/ Aromatherapy
Lightly fragrant oils of your choice (based on availability) are used to enhance your massage and relaxation experience.
Examples: Lavender for relaxation, Hyssop, and Frankincense for pain. These oils can be added to your massage experience.
Arnica/ Bio-Oil
Arnica relief oil eases discomfort and provides deep penetrating relief from pain, and helps smooth scar tissue.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese healing method in which a trained professional uses a natural, alternative therapy that involves gliding a massage tool over lubricated skin. Its purpose is to improve circulation by releasing bound fascia or connective tissue under the skin. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health and addressing issues like chronic pain.
Hot/ Cold Stone Therapy
Synergy Stones or river stones are specially shaped massage tools and stones that can be heated or cooled to provide a relaxing and deeper therapeutic experience.
