Services

 Our services are a customized mix of the following modalities:

Therapeutic Massage

A combination of different techniques, the primary goals of a therapeutic massage session is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Swedish Massage

Deep Tissue 

Deep tissue principles are applied to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body, and is beneficial because it reaches the deepest layer of muscles, fascia (connective tissue surrounding the joints) and tendons. Trigger point therapy which is utilized in deep tissue is a technique based on the principle of free and uninterrupted energy flow and helps activate the natural healing processes in each patient's body as well as to restore their physical and emotional well-being.

Prenatal Massage

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling).
In addition, massage for pregnant women reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension -- which aids in better sleep -- and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
