Therapeutic Massage

Depending on your needs, a therapeutic massage combines techniques that will relax and relieve. When a light to medium pressure is applied, blood pressure and stress are reduced and circulation is increased. The body can get rid of toxins that cause pain.

When moderate to deep pressure is applied to specific areas of concern, contracted muscles will release. When circulation in these areas is improved, lasting healing can take place.

We also offer a more intense pressure designed improve posture. It is known as "structural integration". Not a "sleepy time" session by any means. Rarely do we doa full body session. Focus on a particular area is common. Ask for Myofacial Therapy.

No additional charges for the following:

Moist heat packs
Scented oils
Pain relieving ointments

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy

...What is Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy?
"The deepest most luxurious massage on the planet!"

An adaptation of an ancient form of barefoot massage using deep compression and gliding strokes over the body. Bars overhead are used by the massage therapist for balance.

This type of body work is excellent for pain relief, especially chronic low back pain. It is extremely deep tissue body work, but more comfortable than hands-on massage.

Healing Stone Massage

Extremely relaxing and soothing body work to soften and soothe away tension. We use warm to hot Healing Ocean Stones and lotions on the muscles to heat the tissue effectively. Very Luxurious and Sedating! Perfect for those who find it difficult to “let go” or need to “get away”.

Pregnancy Massage

Ease lower back pain and anxiety! We use a special body cushion that allows her to lay face down safely and very comfortably. The session is geared toward relaxing tight and fatigued areas that are caused from the pregnancy. We are skilled to work with expectant mothers right up to the due date and beyond if needed!

“Core” Myofascial Therapy

Deep, slow and intense strokes that spread superficial fascia and deep fascia to create more space in the body, ultimately improving posture and overall body alignment. It eases joint pain, increases oxygen, and increases endurance. Very little lubricant is used and it is not a relaxing session. Mainly done for the upper or lower body. Not recommended as a full body treatment.

Polarity

This is energetic balancing. A calming session with gentle holding and rocking to promote self-awareness and centeredness. Don't take this for granted. It is extremely powerful.

Chair Massage

Client is fully dressed and upright in a massage chair. The Main focus is on back neck and shoulders but it is relatively nonspecific.
