Massage Offerings

swedish massage : this service includes the broad relaxing strokes and circulatory benefits of traditional massage. A basic treatment that encourages circulation of the lymph and fluids in the body. This is a rest and reset away from the busy world to clear the mind, nurture and nourish the physical body, and create a sense of peace, pause, and calm.

intuitive deep tissue : a custom curated bodywork session that focuses on releasing and relaxing the deeper fasciae and muscular structures, using hydrotherapy (hot and cold compresses), myofascial release techniques, trigger point therapy, and passive stretching.

reiki treatment : as a certified reiki master practitioner I offer this energetic healing modality which calms and rests and nourishes the mental, emotional, and physical body systems while encouraging relaxation and possible insight. Reiki is a gentle hands-on modality that invites divine and universal energies to be guided to the recipient through the practitioner. It gives the gift of human presence and a peaceful way towards spiritual, mental, and emotional healing. Reiki can also be combined with a massage service for a delightful experience.

speciality massages : hot stone massage is performed using heated round basalt rocks. It is a delicious experience as the muscles melt and soften with added heat and pressure. Can be used as an add-on, or combined with aromatherapy or reflexology, for a truly divine service!

pregnancy massage / post-natal massage : nurturing the mother, this service uses long flowing and focused strokes to ease muscles, relax tension, and balance stress for both baby and mother. A truly magical delight, the mom is propped using pillows to make the body as comfortable as possible, using appropriate draping. I’ve been practicing this service for over 15 years, since becoming licensed and have received glowing feedback!

add-ons :

young living oils aromatherapy : I employ high quality essential oils to assist in relaxation and sensory enjoyment. The oils each have benefits to corresponding to various somatic states and aid in uplifting the spirit. This can be added to your session.

reflexology : this is an ancient healing art that states that the entire body, organs, and systems correspond to specific points on the feel, hands, and ears. I use hot towels during this service. It can be added to a massage treatment or its own full session. Ideal for releasing the plantar fasciae and providing a deep sense of calm.

cupping therapy: a technique that uses silicone or glass cups to release and relax the fasciae and muscle tissues. Cupping may decrease pain as well as draw toxics and fluid from the tissues, to be recirculated in the body system.

neck and shoulder massage : this half hour treatment focuses on the upper body, specifically the neck, scalp, and shoulders. I use heat and cold therapy if appropriate and focus on relieving pain and pressure using trigger point therapy, stretching, and myofascial release technique, whatever your body is asking for. This is an excellent pairing with a reflexology treatment, for a full hour of healing bliss!

myofascial release techniques : myofascial technique is usually applied without using lotions or oils, and involves fascial holds, stretching, pulling, or rolling the fascial tissue to release the muscles and create positive effects on the posture and body systems. This technique is an excellent companion to a Swedish massage service.

sinus massage : I use hot compresses and heating pads to support the neck, and relieve pressure in the sinuses due to allergies, dust, and any other reasons. If indicated, this massage uses pressure point therapy as well as peppermint, eucalyptus, and lemon oils to support the sinus structure. Includes a scalp and neck massage with heat therapy.

sound healing therapy : an experience of sound, with either the Tibetan bowl or Koshi chimes, both of which I am trained in using. Koshi chimes are designed for the four elements and gentle. Ths Tibetan singing bowl is an experience not to be missed.
