Our Services
Customized Integrative Massage
A personalized blend of techniques designed for your unique needs, whether you’re addressing tension, pain, wellness, performance or recovery goals.
Specialized Techniques Include:
Swedish Massage
Promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and reduces stress. The most common form of Western massage, Swedish massage delivers a combination of slow and vigorous strokes promoting relaxation, improved circulation, and reduced emotional and physical stress
Deep Tissue Massage
Releases deeply held pain patterns of muscle, tendon, and fascia tension with deep strokes that penetrate contracted layers while relaxing and soothing the muscle. While the focus may be on specific areas, this is a full-body toxin release. Drink plenty of water to flush and hydrate before and after treatment. Any deep work may cause soreness but should feel better than ever within a day or two.
Sports Massage
Combines stretching, deep tissue, and compression to optimize athletic performance and recovery. Designed to help you reach peak performance before, during, and after events. This massage combines deep tissue, stretching, and compression. Sports massage reduces muscle pain and joint soreness, increases flexibility, and speeds recovery from injuries or overworked muscles
Esalen
Melt tension away from head to toe with slow, stress-relieving, long flowing, and continuous full-body strokes with gentle pause and rocking that match the rhythm of your breath. Supports a full body connection. Sound is often set to the movement of the ocean.
Feather Touch
A superior light touch with a feather or fingertips that promotes deep relaxation and sensory stimulation for those who enjoy being softly tickled or cannot tolerate deeper forms of bodywork.
Aromatherapy
With essential oils- Nourish and rejuvenate your mind and body with an AromaTHERAPY experience using a blend of essential oils. This technique has the goal of restoring homeostasis in the body by preventing joint and muscle stiffness, reducing stress and toxicity as well as restoring hormonal balance. Eight different essential oils are used in specific patterns of light touch along energy channels to bring your body back into balance and de-stress your nervous system. During your session, wellness goals will be reviewed to enhance your experience and help learn more about how essential oils can be part of an overall preventive health care routine.
Prenatal Massage
Performed after 1st trimester, while side-lying, you and your baby are supported with comfortable cushions while you relax for a nurturing, yet therapeutic massage that will help relieve discomfort, reduce swelling and recharge your energy.
Targeted Therapies
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
Deep and precise pressure is applied to soft tissue restrictions with fingertips, hands, or elbows that are held for 30-60 seconds. This is an interactive therapeutic treatment requiring feedback from you. This method can restore the structural, functional, and postural integrity of the body; remove pain, muscular tension, stress, and restrictions to health. Results will be improved muscle function, lengthening of muscle fibers, improved joint function, and increased venous flow. Sometimes the effects are immediate, and the pain is resolved, and sometimes it takes a day or two for the residual soreness to subside. Drink plenty of water to flush toxins before and after treatment. NMT is highly effective for eliminating chronic pain by skillfully addressing trigger points, tender points, neural entrapment, nerve compression, ischemia, low back pain, headaches, neck pain, TMJ syndrome, repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, and tingling hands and feet.
Craniosacral Therapy
A very subtle and relaxing light touch technique that has profound healing effects on the body by freeing the central nervous system from restrictions. By monitoring the rhythm and releasing tensions, it allows the entire body to relax and self-correct. CST strengthens resistance to disease while eliminating pain, dysfunction, and stress. This massage therapy is effective for all ages, from newborns to elders. Unless incorporated into another service, a session is fully clothed.
Myofascial Release
Deep and slow work affects the connective tissue of the body, which can turn into a “straight-jacket” around the muscles, organs, and bones if not specifically treated and released. Restricted fascia is responsible for pain and dysfunction that eludes traditional medical tests and massage therapy treatments for muscles. No lotion or cream is used, in order to properly grip and penetrate the superficial layers of skin, hooking into the fascia. Great relief and release may be felt, as well as body improved posture and body lengthening.
Thai Massage
Assisted stretching to improve flexibility and athletic performance. Thai Massage, also known as Thai Yoga Massage, is a dynamic and invigorating therapy that blends assisted stretching and rhythmic pressure to deliver profound relaxation and revitalization. Unlike traditional massage, Thai Massage focuses on movement and energy flow, making it both more energizing and rigorous. During a session, your therapist uses hands, knees, legs, and feet to guide you into yoga-like postures and stretches. This unique approach provides all the benefits of yoga without requiring you to do any of the work. Clients often describe Thai Massage as deeply relaxing and restorative, offering an unparalleled experience for both the body and mind.
Active isolated
Stretching- Performed fully clothed or may be incorporated into a massage
Reflexology
Pressure applied to hands and feet to promote whole-body balance. Ancient art using deep pressure on the reflex areas and nerve endings of hands and feet that correspond to all parts of your body, including major organs and body systems. Any tension and congestion found mirrors itself in the body. Treatment helps the body to maintain homeostasis. Unless incorporated into another treatment, you will be fully clothed during this therapy.
Focused Treatments
Scalp Massage
Relieve headaches and eye strain while promoting hair health. A nurturing experience that provides deep relaxation to the head and scalp, restoring harmony throughout the entire body. A dance of light caressing touch, repetitive circular stimulation, deeper squeezes and gentle hair pulls all provide increased circulation to the head and scalp which nourishes hair health, relieves headaches, relaxes eye strain and nervousness, and can even provide a glow to the complexion of the face. Scalp massage can also help awaken creativity centers in your brain for more enlightened idea processing or long-term meditation. When combined with essential aromatherapy oils, emotional, spiritual and mental blocks can be relieved. Great for all ages- can be integrated into a massage or fully clothed.
Face Massage with Sinus Drain
Stimulate facial muscles and drain lymphatic fluid. Light, circular and upward fingertip strokes that stimulate and activate skin cells and facial muscles to free stress and keep you looking refreshed. Also helps drain the sinuses by relieving pressure and moving Lymphatic fluid. Incorporate into a massage or fully clothed.
Targeted Zone Treatments
Designed for a quick, simple and effective therapeutic fix. If you are short on time, scheduling ‘in a pinch’, want to explore a new service, or just woke up with a ‘kink’- these mini services deliver all the benefits in one sweet session.

To elevate your treatment, we incorporate these advanced technologies. The Biomat delivers far-infrared heat and negative ions, while the BioAcoustics Mat provides soothing sound therapy for deeper relaxation and recovery.
