Swedish Massage

This session uses a variety of techniques to improve blood circulation and stretch the muscles, reduce stress and tension and improve range of motion. Effleurage, Petrissage and Tapotement all are used to create a state of relaxation.

Deep Tissue

A therapeutic session targeting deep muscle layers and connective fascia tissue to relieve chronic pain, spasms and tension. Firm pressure helps to recover sore and overused muscles and improve injury recovery.

Lymphatic

Gentle and specialized, it is designed to stimulate the return of fluid to the body's organs for filtering waste and toxin removal. Slowly working lymph from the extremities towards the torso helps the body reduce swelling that can occur from surgery or injury. Clients that have active infection, congestive heart failure or blood clots, DVT should not receive this treatment.

Myofascial Release

Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds the body's organs, bones, blood vessels as well as muscles, nerves. It reduces friction between tissue allowing movement, and flexibility. Gentle and sustained pressure is applied and held to a restricted area to "melt" or lengthen the fascia, release tension and pain. This is traditionally performed without the use of oils.

Pregnancy

Designed for an expecting mother focusing on relief to the body, especially the back, hips and legs. Clients are supported with specialized pillows and cushions during the session. The therapist accommodates for side-lying, prone (face down) and supine (face up) dependent on the week & month of the pregnancy for maximum comfort.

Reiki

"Spiritually guided life force energy"

A Japanese technique of healing energy designed to promote healing, relaxation, and stress reduction. Reiki can be used to clear blocked energy and support emotional healing. The client is clothed during these sessions and can receive light to no touch from the therapist.

Reflexology

Effective for a full body felt sense of massage by just treating the hands or feet. Application of pressure to specific reflex points correlate to the body's organs and systems. This session is ideally used in treating pain in the body by working within the "zones" reflected in the feet. It can be very relaxing!
