Relaxation, Therapeutic or Integrative Massage... It's your choice.

We tailor each massage session to your individual needs and desires so you receive the massage you’re looking for. Our therapists have received training in a wide variety of massage modalities, each having their own specialties to offer. Your therapist can help you decide what kind of massage would best suite you and your treatment goals.

Integrative Massage

There are many massage styles and techniques, most of which share the related goals of achieving and maintaining good physical condition while providing a sense of well-being. Integration massage means we will draw upon techniques from a variety of modalities to best suit your unique situation. The best of both worlds, therapeutic and relaxing - this is your maintenance massage.

Swedish Relaxation Massage

Swedish massage increases circulation and flushes toxins from the body by using long, smooth, relatively superficial strokes that move blood and lymph towards the heart. This gentle massage is very relaxing and is good for relieving general muscle tension and stress. Swedish massage is also great for stimulating your immune system.

Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is an approach that reaches the deeper layers of the muscles and related tissues by using a variety of techniques such as stretching, deep finger or forearm pressure and slow, steady, firm strokes. This technique is excellent for chronic pain, spasms, injury management, increasing range of motion, flexibility and improving posture. Deep tissue can also be deeply relaxing.

Sports Massage

Sports massage uses a wide variety of modalities to increase an athlete's physical performance, quicken recovery time and provide relief to overworked muscles. A sports massage session often includes a lot of stretching and passive movement.

Couples Massage (Side-by-side relaxation)

Pregnancy/ Pre-Natal Massage

Pregnancy is a time of changes that may produce discomforts and physical concerns. These can be addressed with appropriate massage therapy and body use guidance. Prenatal massage therapy is beneficial throughout the nine months of a low-risk pregnancy.

If you are having a higher risk pregnancy, discuss your condition with your physician or midwife. After further discussion, you may be able to receive therapy with additional written release.

The benefits of prenatal massage include relaxation, emotional support, reduced neck, back, and joint pain, muscle weakness and tension. Sessions also assist with the management of digestive complaints such as constipation, gas, nausea, and indigestion!
