Restorative, centering and deeply relaxing. This massage will help your body release muscle tension and stress. Massage has been shown to bring tangible positive effects for those with chronic pain conditions, such as Fibromyalgia. Science shows this is due to the lower levels of substance P, which is how the body partly transmits pain signals. Other research has shown that people with painful Rheumatoid Arthritis have also experienced less pain. Every session is unique and individually customized to each person. I understand not all bodies are the same, and I approach each session with respect for each individual. I blend in different modalities and techniques to best meet your needs.
The Relax & Unwind is a massage for the head, neck and shoulders. This massage also combines reflexology of the hands and feet for a customized therapeutic experience. Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your hands and feet. Unlike other massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the muscles themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body.
The Relax & Unwind calms the nervous system, improves circulation and so much more. It is a deeply relaxing massage aimed at releasing not only physical but also mental stress and tension. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your hands and feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches and depression.
The Renew & Revive is a massage that incorporated Swedish-based massage techniques with cupping therapy. Cupping therapy may seem like a new-age technique, but its roots run deep in ancient cultures and its history dates back to 1500 B.C. With cupping, soft tissue is decompressed using vacuum-like suction unlike other forms of massage that compress the soft tissues. During cupping, a silicone cup gently sucks in your skin and lifts the underlying soft tissue into the cup. Cups can be held in place anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes. Cupping is very relaxing and almost anyone can benefit from it. It is used to treat lack of mobility, tight muscles, scars, and many diagnoses like headaches, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and the release of trigger points.
Cupping therapy is not only relaxing, but it is also a deeply restorative form of therapy that will leave you feeling renewed and as if you have been revived from a deep slumber. It has been proven effective in many kinds of diseases associated with pain, cardiovascular disorders, inflammatory and metabolic disease, as well as musculoskeletal conditions such as low back and hip pain, chronic neck pain, and pain related to carpal tunnel syndrome. Because cupping has the ability to grab and lift fascia (connective tissue that wraps around and covers almost every part of the body), it may allow for the lymphatic drainage of toxins as well as the stretching of fascial tissue. This can help with headaches and migraines, release scar tissue and fascial adhesions, reduce painful trigger points, improve blood and lymph circulation, relieve pain, promote mobility and range of motion, and improve mature scars.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage that incorporates Swedish massage techniques while using heated stones placed at specific sites. 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.
Heat is a well-known natural pain reliever. If tension is behind an ache or pain, then heat can be enormously effective at releasing tension and thus easing the pain. The heated stones used in Hot Stone Massage also help deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Endorphins and other feel-good hormones are released during a massage which reduces stress and anxiety, and at the same time, stress hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol are lowered. Massage has been shown to positively impact your immune system, even after just one session because of this.
Pregnancy Massage (or prenatal massage) is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. It offers support during pregnancy to help the body adapt to the physical and gravitational shifts that lead to hip, low back and neck pain. Women who have recently experienced bleeding, pre-term contractions, or have any of the following conditions should speak with a healthcare provider prior to receiving a massage:
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 benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
The Head and Neck Massage is a popular treatment that works to induce relaxation in the face, head and neck area. Great for when you have a little bit of tension in those areas that you're ready to let go of.
Using firm, gentle pressure to relieve tension, the aim is to remove blockages and bring back balance and alignment to the energy channels.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. It is a type of massage that takes place on a traditional massage chair, designed to take the weight off the spine and give easy access to the head, neck, back, shoulders and arms.
In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage since it's done over clothing. Chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
