Swedish:
A nice flowing massage that connects your whole body.
All strokes are applied in the direction of the heart.
It helps stimulate circulation, frees adhesions, decreases
swelling, releases tension, and relaxes the whole body.

Trigger
Points: Are highly irritable spots in
the muscle tissue that contribute critically to pain.
We accumulate these points of tension throughout life
and retain them in the memory cells of our muscles. When
these points are found an alternate method of deep tissue
is applied. The point is held for 7 seconds then released
and repeated. |
 |
Foot
Reflexology: The foot is the map of our
body. The entire foot connects via nerves and meridians
to particular organs and body parts, so when the feet
are being rubbed the rest of the body benefits-plus it
feels delicious. Put your feet up, increase the circulation
after a long day, and take a nap (my dad always did/does). |
 |
Shiatsu:
The body has a natural current of energy that flows through
invisible pathways, which can become blocked from physical
and emotional stress. By holding points along the meridians
(energy pathways) then rocking or stretching the meridians,
we can increase the circulation and increase the energy
along that pathway. There are 12 major meridians in our
body, which correspond to our 12 major organs, thus our
entire system is treated. |
 |
Aromatherapy:
An ayruvedic technique that uses the pure essential oils
derived from plants to aid in the healing process. The
oils are diffused through the air, or applied on the skin.
Many oils are medicinal and serve as health benefits;
they are also pleasurable to the senses, and can evoke
interesting memories. Specific oils are chosen to accommodate
the client’s needs. |

Sports
Massage: Pre and post massage rejuvenates
certain muscle groups, for people that have strenuous
workouts or sporting events. It helps athletes perform
at their highest capacity by increasing circulation and
mobility. |
|
Somatic
Technique: Both massage therapist and
client actively participate through this session. Specific
muscle groups are stretched to release chronically tight
muscles. The specific stretching technique shortens and
lengthens the muscle, so the muscle becomes aware of its
fullest movement potential. |
Reiki:
This is a difficult technique to describe. Because it
is Energy work, it really is something you must receive
to grasp the hidden, yet deep connection. The universal
life force manifests from all that exists. This energy
technique works with the subtle vibrations your body sends
out. We were born with this energetic ability, and we
should acknowledge its presence. Reiki is non-invasive
and works between the spiritual, mental, and physical
levels. |
Hot
Towel Treatment- (Add On): Steaming hot
towels are wrapped or placed on a body part: feet, back,
neck, face, etc. The heat penetrates and softens the tissue
layers, which increases circulation and deep relaxation-it
feels incredible.

Deep
Tissue: An advanced Swedish technique,
which specifically addresses the deeper layers of muscle
tissue. The therapist utilizes reinforced hands, an elbow,
knee, or fist to apply deep pressure at a target area.
Moving into the muscle slowly with your breath to gain
more depth into the muscle gives relief to those deeply
rooted pains. |
Acupressure:
The ancient eastern philosophy has delivered a tried and
true healing technique that looks at the person as a whole
rather than parts. Over 5,000 years of trial and error
with the meridian system; the Chinese have developed a
system that while holding certain arrangements of points
along the meridians the body will open up and allow for
the healing to begin. This is a calming and non-invasive
technique. |
