Services


We design a program fit for each client's particular needs.  Various techniques are incorporated into the treatment that use different strokes and pressure points to relieve ailments and stress.  We try to make each visit as enjoyable as possible - no blaring music and no bright lights.  The therapist may also use hot and cold packs, oils, non-staining lotions or soothing eye patches to compliment the massage.

There are more than 150 variations of massage, bodywork and somatic therapy techniques.  Many practitioners utilize an integration of techniques.

Some of the services we offer are:
 
Couples Massage
Our facility can accommodate couples in the same room for the ultimate "special occasion" or just a relaxing "treat for two".
Sports Massage
A focus on protocols designed specifically for individual sports.  Techniques provide warm-up and cool-down for pre and post event, and can reduce injuries, alleviate inflammation and decrease recovery time for amateur and professional athletes.
Swedish Massage
is the most common massage that relaxes the muscles and eases aches and pains.
 
Hot Stone Massage
This massage is enhanced by the use of heated smooth basalt stones that release warmth deep into the body's tissues relaxing muscle fibers and relieving tension and stress.  Heated stones are placed along the spine and on the abdomen while the therapist uses palm size stones and oil to massage the body.
 
Seated Massage (chair massage)
Seated massage is performed in the workplace.  Your employees will be seated upright on a special massage chair and will remain fully clothed.  No oils are used, so there is no need for them to be concerned about stains on clothing.  The session generally lasts from 10-20 minutes.  The chair is lightweight and portable, enabling it to be set up in virtually any office or break room.  Seated massage utilizes acupressure and Swedish massage to relieve tension. 
 
Maternity Massage
Massage during pregnancy not only makes a woman feel pampered, but offers undeniable physical benefits as well.  Massage can relieve fatigue, enhance sleep and calm an active baby.
 
Foot Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient therapy based on the relationship of specific points and zones of your feet with areas of your body.  A light foot powder is used to allow the therapist to massage the foot without slipping.  Each zone of the foot is gently rubbed, kneaded and rolled to increase circulation.  Deep thumb pressure is used on specific areas to release energy blockages. 
 
Ear Coning
A therapy used by Native Americans to clean the ear canal and aide in hearing.  Cones made from muslin and soaked in herbs and bees wax are burned to create a gentle smoke which travels down the cone into the ear canal.  It is believed that the smoke penetrates the fine membrane of the ear removing unwanted impurities and wax buildup.  Treatment includes one set of cones.
 
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
CST was developed by Dr. John Upledger.  The body's craniosacral system includes the cerebral spinal fluid and membranes which surround the brain and spinal cord.  Light pressure, no greater than the weight of a nickel, is used to help the body release restrictions in the craniosacral system.  This can aid the functioning of the Central Nervous System.  This therapy is done fully clothed.  CST is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, and is a specialized treatment which is performed by our trained therapist.
Paraffin Dip for both hands and feet
This treatment is wonderful for people with arthritis.  We wrap their hands and while they are getting a massage, they're hands and/or feet are also receiving treatment.
