Offers the Following Types of Massage:

Ashiatsu is an ancient form of bodywork using the therapist’s bare feet. It is compression work, combined with Swedish, sports and myofascial massage techniques. This modality gives the client a deep relaxing massage using the foot’s wider surface rather than finger or elbow pressure associated with other deep tissue modalities.

Deep Tissue Massage releases chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.

Muscle Release Technique is a unique injury therapy that combines compression, extension, movement, and breath to give the therapist a tool to provide, in many cases, relief from pain in one treatment. With the Muscle Release TechniqueSM scar tissue is broken up, the muscle is lengthened, muscle memory is restored and relief from pain starts immediately.

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is a deep tissue style of therapeutic massage specifically for pain relief, injury/surgery rehabilitation and lost range of motion. Using a thorough knowledge of bone, muscle and nerve anatomy, Neuromuscular Massage directly addresses the root causes of pain to relieve them and improve the body’s function. Every session is custom tailored to the specific client’s needs, and works very strictly within that person’s comfort thresholds.

Prenatal/Pregnancy Massage is offered to women who are pregnant or trying to conceive. Passive/active stretching is combined with gentle Swedish massage strokes. Massage during pregnancy promotes relaxation and decreases the discomforts associated with the physical changes of pregnancy.

Reflexology is organized around a system of points on the hands and feet that are thought to correspond, or “reflex” to all areas of the body. Though the massage is specific to an area, it is intended to affect the whole body.

Reiki is a Japanese energy technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki relaxes the receiver in such a way that it restores the necessary flow of energy in the body. When our energy flows freely the body can experience optimal health. During a Reiki session the client relaxes fully dressed on the massage table while the therapist very gently places her hand on different yet specific areas of the body.

Swedish Massage is designed to increase circulation and lymphatic flow, flush toxins and waste products from the body, assist soft tissue toward normal metabolic balance, and promote deep relaxation. Swedish massage also activates the immune system.
