In the past, I divided massages into styles like Deep Tissue and Swedish.  But oftentimes, people are not fully aware of what those terms mean, or they are unaware of how each applies to their needs.  So I changed the basic menu to reflect choices based on need and the intention of the individual.  Both Spa Massage and Therapeutic Massage have therapeutic effects.  The difference is between the intensity and tools  chosen to achieve those effects given the depth or severity of the need (and/or the goal of the client).

Both Spa and Therapeutic Massages...
  • include some aspects of Swedish and Deep Tissue style work but in varying degrees (massage modalities may include some or all of the following: swedish, acupressure, trigger point therapy, myo-fascial release, neuromuscular therapy, passive and assisted stretching, and more)
  • help support and maintain a healthy, happy body and mind
  • help to promote a balanced lifestyle where you feel rested, energized, active, peaceful, and just plain great!
  • have a proven beneficial effect on your health and can be part of a preventative healthy lifestyle, like exercising and eating well
  • improve circulation, assist the lymphatic system, and enhance the immune system
  • promote the production of "happy" hormones and biochemicals while reducing the "yucky" ones
  • enhance your quality of sleep (the body's natural healing and recovery time)

Could there be a more blissful way to be healthy?

Picture
Add deep tissue massage of certain areas of the body to your reflexology or raindrop therapy sessions. Choose any of the following:

  • head, neck, and shoulders
  • full back
  • hips and legs
  • neck, arms, and hands
  • full body passive stretches

Our feet literally bear our full burden of gravity not only in terms of carrying weight but also in terms of the effects of gravity on the circulation in our feet--yet still they take us where we're going every single day--it's no surprise that they are often aching and respond so well to massage--so give them the extra attention they deserve!

Aromatherapy is the added use of essential oils, not only in their powerful diffusion in the air, but also in its topical application on the body--each essential oil has different properties, benefits, and applications as well as contraindications, so if you're interested in additional aromatherapy, please ask beforehand so that we're prepared for your session with your unique needs and concerns addressed
