Massage Services

Every session begins with a consultation, then artfully blends aspects of different modalities such as swedish style and deep tissue massage to ensure that your experience is therapeutic and relaxing while tailored to your specific needs. Natural and hypoallergenic oils and lotions are used with aromatherapy (such as eucalyptus, geranium, peppermint, or lavender) in every session.

 

DEEP TISSUE /   60 min - $145,  90 min - $200

During a deep tissue massage,  hands, forearms, elbows, and fingertips are used to locate and loosen adhesions, which are points of tension or 'knots' in your muscles. Deep tissue work is helpful for chronic muscle pain or tension, to aid in injury recovery, reduce scar tissue in muscles, and improve postural conditions. Deep tissue massage allows for more focused work, and stronger pressure can address deeper tissues and structures. Some people perceive deeper work as more intense, so it’s important to feel comfortable vocalizing how you feel about how the pressure feels during a session. Expect to leave feeling much lighter, looser and more relaxed.

 

SUPER-DEEP TISSUE /  60 min - $150,  90 min - $215

A very deep tissue, slow and patient massage that targets a specific issue or can be done throughout the entire body.  Super deep work is beneficial for anyone who can tolerate very deep work which can be extremely relaxing to one's nervous system, as it realigns muscular and structural imbalances. (My Super-Deep Tissue massage can be compared to Rolfing bodywork; a slow, strategic and very deep form of bodywork that loosens the connective tissue and realigns imbalances.)

 

THAI MASSAGE /  60 min - $140,  90 min - $200 

Thai massage is an ancient healing art with origins in Ayurvedic yoga, Chinese medicine and Buddhist meditation.  It combines the use of hands, elbows, fingers, forums, and sometimes feet along with passive stretching, joint mobilization, acupressure, soft tissue manipulation and energy sen line work (similar to meridians) to reduce stress and create balance throughout the body. Thai massage is traditionally performed in comfortable clothing, barefoot, on a floor mat and is suitable for clients of all ages and abilities.  No oil is used and  the benefits are increased range of motion, released blocked energy, released muscle tightness, mental clarity and reduced stress and chronic pain.

An East meets West approach to Thai massage. An excellent integration of Western Swedish or Deep Tissue massage with Thai massage. Some of the work is performed with the massage therapist working on the table with you, to balance the sen lines (energy lines) by using fingers, hands, forearms, elbows & feet. This type of massage can also be modified to be done without the therapist working on the table with you.

 

REFLEXOLOGY (feet & hands) /  60 min - $135

Reflexology is the focus of feet and hands, which have pathways through the nervous system that correspond to the functions of your body. These pathways are stimulated through specific pressure points, resulting in increased circulation and reduced stress. This session divides the time of 30 minutes of work focusing on hands and 30 minutes focusing on feet. This technique combined with hot towels and eucalyptus aromatherapy make this a great way to release tension throughout the body or simply soothe and restore overworked feet and overused hands.
