Swedish massage

Swedish Massage is a manual therapy that emphasizes long strokes, kneading and friction motions to encourage proper circulation.

Experience gentle relaxation to unwind your muscles and clear your mind. Long flowing strokes relieve tension and stress to soothe aches and pains. It can range from light to firm pressure, depending on preference. Swedish Massage boosts the immune system and improves the functioning of the digestive system while encouraging the removal of metabolic waste from your body.

Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage centers on realigning the deeper layers of connective and muscle tissue.

Ideal for stubborn or chronic pain conditions, including postural problems and many repetitive-use issues. Designed to relieve long-held chronic tension in the muscle and break up adhesions in the connective tissue or fascia, slow and specific techniques are used to lengthen and broaden the muscles in the areas of concern. Best results for chronic issues occur with a series of treatments.

Sports massage

Sports massage is specifically tailored to different sports and sporting injuries. It is not a relaxing form of massage and can often be quite strenuous.

Beneficial for athletes of all levels, sports massage delivers much needed relief to sore, overworked muscles, reduces chances of injury and promotes greater overall athletic endurance and performance.

Reflexology

a system of massage used to relieve tension and treat illness, based on the theory that there are reflex points on the feet, hands, and head linked to every part of the body.

Reflexology is an ancient art which uses specific points on the feet that relate to all organs, glands and systems of the human body. Some studies show that reflex action relieves pain and promotes healing by stimulating the appropriate points on the hands and feet. Experience profound full body healing with the power of this ancient technique.

Raindrop therapy

The Raindrop Technique is a method of using a combination of reflexology, aromatherapy, massage techniques, and essential oils applied on your spine and on the feet.

Raindrop Technique combines the art of aromatherapy with reflexology and massage. Raindrop Technique uses a layering process of 9 different therapeutic grade essential oils applied to the feet and spine. The combination of these oils, and the application of moist warm towels to the spine and back, allowing the oils to penetrate your body rapidly and begin their therapeutic process on a cellular level. Raindrop Therapy has been known to increase the immune system, relieve back issues, and to create balance and harmony in the body - physically, mentally and emotionally. Raindrop is a very gentle therapy and offers you the opportunity to completely relax while improving your overall well-being on all levels.

Crystal healing

Gemstones and crystals are placed on the energy centers of the body.

There is an ancient belief that the stones and crystals possess healing properties that help to balance the body, mind and spirit.

Chakra balancing

Chakra Balancing is a form of energy healing that focuses on channeling energy into the seven chakras.

Hemp oil can bring your massage experience to the next level. Hemp oil contains beneficial, vitamins, minerals and fats, along with potentially useful Turpines, cannabinoids, and Hemp. It is beneficial for skin health by rehydrating, and re-nourishing and working the oil into the skin. Hemp oriole may increase circulation, encouraging good blood flow which massage already does for an even greater possible effect. It may also stimulate your mind and body to relax, if you have a particular tough time, letting go, this may be beneficial to you. And for muscles that are particularly tighter than the rest, it may provide the necessary boost to fully get them relaxed. Hemp oil has anti-inflammatory properties which may assist with conditions involving chronic pain. It can bring a 100% massage to a 105%.

Hemp oil enhancement

I use a cold pressed Hemp oil to keep all of the healthy properties in the oil in tact.

Chakra balancing is a form of energy medicine which comes from Ayurveda the ancient medicine of india. There are seven main chakras that run from the top of the head (crown area) down to the base of your spine. Each chakra is a spinning wheel of energy. When our energy is out of balance one or more of the chakras are spinning too slow or too fast. Occasionally, a chakra will stop spinning, which indicates an energy blockage. Chakra balancing sessions include the practitioner assesses the flow of energy and removing blockages to restore the flow of energy.

Transdermal magnesium enhancement

Magnesium is involved in at least 300 biochemical processes in the body and it can be tough getting in magnesium through the diet.

Thankfully, transdermal absorption is definitely an option to getting in more magnesium. By incorporating magnesium into your massage, you can get a nice boost to your magnesium the day of your service. Magnesium’s benefits include but are not limited to…
Combat effects of sub optimal Mg levels
Good for exercise recovery

Add-ons

We offer a few add-on options to further enhance your session. Whether you want that extra bit of relaxation or need something more to achieve your therapeutic goals and release we have what you need.

Hot stone

Smooth stones are heated and then lubricated with oil or essential oils, the therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, the use of massage stones induces deep relaxation and provides a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering.

Cupping/Machine Cupping

Cupping is a technique that applies suction to the areas of soreness and dysfunction. Cupping is much like the inverse of massage - rather than applying pressure to muscles, it uses gentle suction to decompress the tissue. Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue and even reduce cellulite and improve body contouring.
