Swedish Massage

 
Muscles, tendons, fascia and ligaments are carefully manipulated to encourage relaxation during this ever-popular massage treatment. Your therapist will use his or her hands to manipulate and relax your soft body tissue, reducing tension in the muscles, eliminating stress, reducing any pain, and even improving sleep. Additional benefits include increased circulation, which helps oxygen to reach your cells and clears toxins from your lymph nodes. Treat yourself to total relaxation.

Deep Tissue / Sports Massage

 
If you’d like your therapist to work on even deeper layers of tension, choose a deep tissue massage. The Swedish technique is incorporated into this focused massage, bringing attention to connective tissue using arnica oil to lessen any chronic pain. If you are consumed with stress or a practicing athlete, this is the ideal massage treatment for you. Before an event such as a marathon or triathlon, a deep tissue/sports massage can help you to avoid injury, while a post-event session can help you to perform at an even higher level. Regular treatments with this massage technique promote health over the long term for athletes at any level of performance.

Pre- and Post- Natal Massage

 
To receive a pre-natal massage you must be passed your first trimester.
 
Pregnancy is a time of extra stress on the joints, including neck, shoulder, and lower back tension, no matter what the trimester. A pre-natal massage is an important part of the health regimen of any mother-to-be, as important as taking the proper vitamins and eating for two. This massage stimulates circulation and lymphatic drainage while it soothes your tired, overburdened muscles.
After you’ve delivered, distended muscles can be more quickly returned to their normal state with post-natal massage. Structural homeostasis will return to your body as circulation and lymphatic drainage are gently stimulated.

Aromatherapy Massage

 
A uniquely customized blend of pure essential oils is combined in this indulgent massage using the health-giving benefits of aromatherapy. The natural oils bathe you in hydration, while a full body massage detoxifies, energizes and ultimately relaxes you into a state of total bliss. Stress is relieved via a cleansing regimen, aiding any systems of the body overburdened by the toxins of modern life. Inhale a taste of heaven.

Aromatic Hot Towel Infusion Massage

 
Steaming hot towels are drenched in fragrant aromatheraputic herbs and pure essences that will balance and nourish every inch of your body.

Reflexology

 

Reflexology is the ancient art of applying pressure to the soles of the feet and palms of the hands to improve health and wellness. Reflex points in these areas correspond to each organ and system of the body, and can be manipulated to address almost any ailment. Muscular tension and stress are reduced, circulation improves, and energy pathways and nerves are unblocked, promoting overall health and relaxation. This preventative treatment will help your body to heal itself.

Shiatsu

 
Shiatsu is based on the traditional Japanese technique meant to balance your “ki” or vital energy. It creates equilibrium between energy meridians, the breath, and the vital points along the body, encouraging your system to heal itself. Your therapist will focus on your body’s acupuncture points (knees, elbows, fingers, feet, thumbs, etc.). Weight counterbalancing and stretching are combined with traditional massage techniques to improve flexibility, energy, circulation and postural integrity. 60 minutes, $130

90 minutes, $190

 

Thai Massage

 
Thai massage has become widely popular in the last few years, and it’s no wonder. This ancient holistic therapy encourages the body to come back to a state of pure harmony, balance, health and flexibility. Muscle massage, yoga stretches, and meridian stimulation are accomplished as acupuncture points are pressed and joints are manipulated. This holistic therapy encourages complete relaxation while leaving you totally energized. Rhythmic, gentle movements create a dynamic state of bliss in both body and mind. Please wear comfortable clothing during a Thai session. 60 minutes, $130

Hot Stone Therapy Massage

 
Hot basalt stones are places on strategic areas of the body in this energy-balancing treatment. The deepest tissue layers are reached with this technique. The stones are also used as massage tools, helping your therapist to penetrate deep, aching muscles. Blood circulation is stimulated, encouraging your body to heal itself. Cold stones are sometimes used to reduce swelling, while aromatherapy oil and Swedish massage techniques combine to bring your body and mind to a state of sublime bliss. 60 minutes, $150

90 minutes, $210
