General Massage
Just want a massage? Our staff can customize your session so it’s anything but basic! Massage can include a mix of relaxation (Swedish) and therapeutic (Deep Tissue) techniques to get you feeling your best!
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
When choosing an MLD practitioner, it's crucial to review their credentials to ensure they can meet your specific needs. There are various courses and certifications available, so it's important to select someone who is qualified, especially if you have particular requirements.
Theragun
Add Theragun, a deep muscle percussive therapy device, to your massage to enhance muscle recovery, release stress and tension, and soothe discomfort for those hard to reach areas.
Available in 30, 60 or 90 min. sessions.
Couples Massages
Couples massage is a popular service during any time of year. Two people are massaged in the same room, at the same time, by two different therapists. They can be spouses, partners, mom and daughter, best friends etc. Each massage may include a combination of Swedish (Relaxation), Deep Tissue, & Reflexology. Ask about adding Hot Stones or other modalities. Both massages do not have to be the same type of massage. NOTE: PRICE LISTED IS PER PERSON.
Thai Massage
Thai massage, also known as "Nuad Thai" or "Thai yoga massage," is a traditional healing practice from Thailand. It combines acupressure, yoga, and passive stretching to restore the body's balance. During your session, you lay on a comfortable mat on the floor, wearing loose and comfortable clothing. The therapist uses hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to apply rhythmic pressure and stretches. This promotes flexibility, improves circulation, and relieves muscle tension. Thai massage induces deep relaxation and mindfulness, reducing stress and anxiety. It is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, offering a holistic approach to healing and rejuvenation.
Cupping Massage
The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and calm the nervous system. Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, and rheumatism.
Massage with IASTM
As an IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation), these tools can amplify the effects of a therapist's hands. It can help with precision and be used at any level of massage for issues such as tightness, stress, injury and more. IASTM tools can be used with delicacy and very little pressure all the way to intense. As always, it depends on what you and your therapist think you need for your specific issues/areas and comfort level.
Again, though not just for more extreme needs, it is especially effective when dealing with scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions. IASTM can take the massage to another level. These tools can promote blood circulation to an injury and help break up adhesions and other restrictions. As one client recently said: "I've never been able to feel so much in a massage!"
Reflexology
Massage may include a combination of Swedish (Relaxation) and Deep Tissue. This massage includes an extra 15 min. of Reflexology.
Targeting pressure points on the feet, reflexology is an excellent way to add another layer of relaxation to your massage.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha and jade rolling are ancient face and body techniques used as a beauty secret in ancient Egypt, China, and Greece to maintain youthful beauty, promote blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and smooth puffiness and fine lines. A treatment can give you more lifted, sculpted features, help reduce outward signs of aging, soothe dark circles, and give a fresh, rosy complexion.
Hot Stone
Heated stones "melt" muscle tension. Hot stones are strategically placed over areas of tension and incorporated into the massage techniques. Benefits include deep relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue, improved circulation which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury, daily stress relief and muscle toning.
Auto Claims
Massage can help with whiplash, neck pain, headaches, knee injuries, spinal cord injuries, and the stress and trauma that can plague us after a car accident.
You will need to submit a referral letter with diagnostic codes from your doctor or chiropractor prior to 1st massage.
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Depending on where you are in your pregnancy, your therapist will use a combination of techniques to alleviate muscle and joint aches, ease back pain and headaches, decrease edema, improve sleep, and decrease anxiety or depression caused by hormonal changes. Make sure to tell your therapist your main challenges.
Abdominal Massage
Abdominal massage is a gentle, noninvasive treatment that can help with a wide variety of issues, from lower back and hip pain to intestinal discomfort (gas, bloating) and even menstrual pain. And if you've been having any breathing issues, talk to your therapist about working with the diaphragm specifically.
Your comfort is our top priority. Your therapist will ensure that only the area worked will be undraped. When needed an additional draping will be used for added discretion. Remember to tell your therapist if you're feeling uncomfortable in any way so they can make appropriate adjustments.
