Although we are highly skilled in therapeutic work we go out of our way to make every
session a ritual. An experience that puts you in tune with your body, emotions, and how they
affect
your tension patterns.
We add heat elements to every treatment through a hot pack, a
heated table
and hot towels. Aromatherapy relaxes the mind and the music helps you slip away creating
an
unforgettable moment you can always come back to.

Relaxation
A lighter pressure massage utilizing Swedish style long-flowing effleurage strokes to promote relaxation and increase circulation. This session will ease stress and make way for a calm state of mind. A gentle way to take inventory of your body’s aches and pains, areas of restriction, and spots of tension you didn’t even know you had. A great introductory session for those who are new to massage or sensitive to pressure. A lesson in unwinding and letting go.
Therapeutic
A massage that works on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to ease restrictions, increase range of motion and alleviate pain. This session does use deeper pressure that will always be customized to your tolerance. A Therapeutic massage should never hurt! It should feel like a release of pain that progressively dissipates as the session goes on. In this session we will use visual assessments of posture and restrictions on range of motion to guide our work. With soft tissue discomfort that is ongoing multiple sessions one to two weeks apart are recommended for the most benefit.

Aromatherapy
Essential oils are used to quantify relaxation, provide you a balanced state of mind, or energize the body. You select the blend that best speaks to your needs. The benefits are derived from smell being a powerful sense, deeply connected to emotion and memory. Your treatment is a mood regulator at its foundation and aromatherapy can assist in prolonging the benefits of this experience, be it uplifting or sedative. We use aromatherapy to deeply benefit the mind, body, and spirit. (Add Deep Tissue for $20)
Prenatal
Post your first trimester, this pregnancy massage takes care of the special needs of expecting women. We only use side lying and reclining positions to be mindful of the baby bump and the forward pull that the baby already has on the lower back and hips. Integrative Pregnancy Massage supports the many situations and changes women are challenged with in the 9 months of pregnancy. We aim to help women feel nurtured in their changing bodies, to help decrease pain, stress, anxiety and tension. Women can expect musculoskeletal pain in the hips, lower back, feet, legs, neck and shoulders due to a growing abdomen that naturally causes a shift in center of gravity, posture and gait. Making Massage an essential part in the model of Pre and Postnatal care.
NSUB
For that weekend warrior who needs a quick fix or the person who needs a quick lunch break session to de-stress. This massage focuses on the Neck Shoulders and Upper Back.
Reflexology
Work the whole body through the feet by targeting specific pressure points. This Chinese therapy much like Acupressure uses deep finger pressure aiming to promote wellness in the body as a whole. Certain points on the feet correspond to different organs of the body. By pressing these points we stimulate energy pathways in the body and restore balance so that energy can flow freely and the body can heal itself. This session feels relaxing and soothing. Adding Reflexology to the end of another massage session is highly recommended to extend your treatment time.
