Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.

Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.

Prenatal and Postpartum Massage

Prenatal and Postpartum Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy.

The time after giving birth brings emotional changes as well. Postpartum Massage and bodywork can provide women the alleviation of musculoskeletal discomforts, as well as emotional support and nurturing during a critical life transition, particularly for first time mothers. 

The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, restoration of pre-pregnancy physiology along with improved breathing and relaxation.

Infant Massage

Infant Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically to promote the healthy development of your infant. Caring human touch is crucial for a healthy thriving baby, and the benefits of massaging your infant are potent and numerous. For example, many infants show improved growth and development of the brain and nervous system. Infant massage has also been shown to improve the quality of a baby's sleep, as well as strengthening their immune system.

Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for curative and rejuvenating effects. Dating back to ancient Egypt, India, and the Far East, this simple therapy has been used for centuries to reduce stress and tension, refresh and invigorate the body, soothe emotions, and clear the mind. After an initial discussion with the client, specific essential oils are used in conjunction with other appropriate techniques, such as massage, acupressure, or reflexology. Used in oils, the essential oil is absorbed through the skin and into the body to affect physiological change. When inhaled the aroma directly affects the limbic area of the brain that is related to emotions and memories.

Hot Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.

Ultimate Facelift Massage

Ultimate Facelift Massage is also known as Facial Fitness. Different from a spa facial, this treatment affects all 43 facial muscles as well as lymph nodes, glands and nerves. It gets the nickname "facial fitness" because it's similar to working out your muscles at the gym. It begins with a warm towel application followed with a gentle cleanse, facial massage, honey mask, warm towel and finishing with moisturizing the skin. Natural sunscreen application available upon request. Along with toning the facial muscles and stimulating collagen production, some additional benefits include: 

* relieves stress
*  very nurturing
* reduces puffiness
* stimulates circulation which aids in reduction of dark circles & plumps muscles
* releases toxins
* assists in lymphatic drainage
* improves muscle tone (just like going to the gym for the body)
* aids in bell’s palsy and facial tics.

The face has a myriad of acupressure and reflexology points as well as cranial nerve #7 innervating the facial muscles. When these areas are stimulated, a calming, lifting and toning affect occur to the facial muscles and the ‘whole’ client benefits & relaxes.

This service can be administered as a stand alone therapy or as an add-on to your massage session. 

Weddings, reunions, special events: It is recommended to begin the Ultimate Facelift Massage 3 months prior to your special event. Begin with 2 ssessions per week the first two weeks and then once every 3-4 weeks to maintain results. Ask about package prices. 

Chair Massage

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing, relieving areas of common stress which encourage circulation in key muscle groups while the entire system becomes more alert and energized.  Chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule and can even be done during the average work break.
