Description of Services

While other therapists establish a standard routine for massage, we believe each body deserves unique attention. We start every massage with a conversation about you, and customize your session to target your needs and requests. As a result, our clients receive a significant return on the investment they make in themselves.

Neuromuscular/Trigger Point
Trigger points (knots) in the muscles are the source of a great deal of pain and dysfunction in the body, including stiffness and even joint pain. Based on the work of Dr. Janet Travell, trigger points are deactivated by applying concentrated pressure to the muscle or connective tissue to break the cycle of spasm and pain. Very effective for the relief of pain, restoring mobility and flexibility.

Myofascial Release
Using long, deep, gliding strokes, restrictions in the muscles and fascia (connective tissue) are released, allowing the body greater freedom of movement and improved body mechanics.

Hot Stone Massage
Hot stones are used throughout the massage to "melt" away muscle stress and address specific problem areas with more detailed work. The heat in this massage is very soothing, facilitating total body relaxation.

Swedish Massage
A combination of long strokes, kneading and friction on the most superficial layers of the muscles. Swedish massage relaxes the muscles, reduces stress, improves circulation, and eases aches and pains.

Pregnancy Massage
Great for all phases of pregnancy, including post-partum, to help maintain muscle and skeletal balance, improve circulation, reduce aches and pains, rejuvenate and energize the entire body. Our therapists are specially trained to position you safely for optimal comfort and effect during this special time.

Chair Massage
You are comfortably seated in a specially designed chair, and the therapist works on you over your clothes. A great choice for a quick refresher.

Amma Massage
Japanese pressure point therapy that incorporates range of motion with a variety of massage techniques to work specific points on the body within energy channels. It releases blocked energy and restores balance to the body. This massage is done with the client clothed and leaves you feeling energized and refreshed.

CranioSacral Therapy
In a typical session you remain fully clothed and the therapist begins by carefully listening with the hands to locate areas of weak fluid or tissue motion. They can then trace those areas of weakness through the body to the original source of dysfunction. Using delicate manual techniques, those problem areas are released to improve the function of your central nervous system. The sessions are deeply relaxing and can help to relieve many conditions such as migraine headaches, chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, post traumatic stress disorder, TMJ, and other central nervous system disorders.

Reiki
pronounced "ray key", is a safe and simple hands on technique of channeling universal energy into the body to promote healing and help balance and harmonize the body systems. Reiki is successfully used in hospitals to alleviate pain, reduce toxic effects of medications as well as to improve vitality quickly. Reiki is gentle and relaxing, yet works very deeply. Reiki can be used as a delightful revitalizing treat, or to reduce or eliminate stress, fatigue or illness. Some common results are relief of headaches, cramps, indigestion, emotional problems as well as detoxification and improvement of body functions. Reiki often works best with conditions that don’t respond to conventional medical therapies and can make conventional methods more effective. Reiki is helpful with surgeries and injuries and can reduce healing time to one third with repeated sessions.

During a Reiki session you will lie comfortably on a bodywork table, fully clothed, with the practitioner’s hands softly placed over specific areas of the body. There is no massage involved. You may feel warmth and tingling, you will feel very relaxed!
