A wide variety of services are available to meet all your needs and preferences. Sessions begin with a brief aromatherapeutic meditation with natural essential oils of your choice.
Relaxing Swedish: Natural massage oil is applied with smooth, gliding and kneading strokes. Swedish massage uses firm yet gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and produce a wide array of other health benefits. A classic that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation. This style is recommended for the general population that is seeking stress-relief without any need for muscular adjustments.
Clinical Therapeutic Massage: A therapeutic massage session entails a thorough assessment of the client's posture and medical history, and will often hone in on a few targeted locations to address a particular need. Therapeutic Massage is absolutely essential for the client suffering from any type of muscular dysfunction or pain.
Deep-Tissue: A fusion of the Swedish and Therapeutic massage styles, Deep-Tissue allows for specific target treatment in the context of a relaxing, full-body massage. This style is recommended for those that need therapeutic bodywork, while desiring full-body treatment.
Restorative Myofascial Release: Fascia is the connective tissue that runs through almost every muscle and bone in the body. It is the sheath that provides the structure and integrity of our body's shape. Myofascial adhesions can occur for a variety of reasons including: over-exhersion, poor posture, and disuse. Myofascial release is a delicate, slow process that is recommended as treatment for pain with clients that are reluctant to receive deep treatment for a variety of reasons: including fibromyalgia, other hypersensitivities, or simply as a personal preference.
Prenatal Massage: Relieving many of the typical discomforts experienced during pregnancy such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, and edema, the prenatal session will provide a blissful retreat into deep relaxation. An absolute essential for the expecting mother.
Sports Massage: Sports massage can both prevent injuries, by ensuring the muscles are performing at their best, as well as rehabilitate sports injuries, by providing a proper healing environment allowing muscles to heal at a faster rate. Working out produces acidic toxins that can get caught in the muscle causing post-workout soreness. Massage increases circulation, flushing out toxins, and promoting healthy muscles. Sports massage is recommended for athletes at any stage of their performance.
Nurturing Esalen-Style: Esalen is a technique that was developed at the Esalen Institute here in California and consists of long free-flowing full-body strokes. Integrating multiple modalities and focusing on long slow gliding strokes, Esalen-style will help you achieve relaxation and detoxification. Esalen-style is recommended for the adventurous client in need of emotional relief and spiritual comfort.
