Techniques: Our massage therapists are trained in many techniques to help you deal with the demands of life and work place on your body. These modalities include:

Traditional Swedish massage - Consists of long strokes and kneading of the superficial muscles. It promotes general relaxation, improves circulation, and relieves muscle tension. Other benefits include calming the nervous system, restful sleep, recovery from injuries and illness and an overall feeling of less stress.

Aromatherapy - This massage is customized with pure essential oils to fit the clients overall whether overall stress relief, skin disorders, arthritis, edema etc etc. When applied in a massage the oils are then absorbed by the skin and carried to the specific organs and systems of the body where they enhance their natural functions.

Body Brushing - Body brushing is a technique that stimulates blood and lymph flow, exfoliates the skin, helps eliminate cellulite, and improves how your skin functions.

Hot Stone – A very relaxing massage that uses the heat of the stones and may use specific aromatherapy oils to relax the muscles to obtain deeper pressure to the underlying muscle layers.

Neuromuscular Therapy/Trigger Point Therapy
– This uses concentrated pressure to "trigger points" or noxious points in the muscles that cause pain. This release removes the toxins in the points, gives client better range of motion, and they feel better longer than with just a Swedish massage.

Reflexology - Reflexology is a holistic therapy that can bring about change in the body by using pressure on certain points on the hands and feet. By pressing on these points, overall tension and toxins in the body can be released via the nervous system. It brings the body back to homeostasis or a full balance of all body systems leaving you feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed.

Myofascial Release - Fascia is one of the key substances in our body and without it we would not be able to move. Myo means muscle and fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle as well as each organ in our body. The fascia is the tough connective tissue that gives tissue and the body significant strength. It is also the tissue that can get very tight causing many restrictions. With this slow moving hand technique, the fascia tissue melts to improve flexibility and relieve pain.

Prenatal – This is a relaxing massage for women that are pregnant or are recovering from delivery. The mom to be is surrounded in pillows while the therapist focuses on the areas of which need the most attention and care.

Sports Massage - This type of massage is geared more towards the amateur or professional athlete. It consists of a vigorous loosening of the muscles pre or post workout and incorporates many stretching techniques.

Sports - A vigorous massage given prior to physical activity to "wake-up" the muscles.

Reiki - It is a gentle, hands on healing technique that works to provide balance to a person’s energetic system. It is also extremely effective to treat insomnia and provides great stress management.

Crystal Healing - This is a laying on of crystals or stones on or around the body to help work with the body’s energy to bring balance, and relief of daily stresses. The crystals can be a great addition to a massage or used as a treatment itself.
