It also has profound effects on systems in the body & may reduce inflammation.  Clients that have sinus congestionlymphedema or sprains have benefited this service.  Click to learn more in our blog!

Thai Massage

Thai massage, also known as "Nuad Thai" or "Thai yoga massage," is a traditional healing practice from Thailand. It combines acupressure, yoga, and passive stretching to restore the body's balance. During your session, you lay on a comfortable mat on the floor, wearing loose and comfortable clothing. The therapist uses hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to apply rhythmic pressure and stretches. This promotes flexibility, improves circulation, and relieves muscle tension. Thai massage induces deep relaxation and mindfulness, reducing stress and anxiety. It is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, offering a holistic approach to healing and rejuvenation.

Available in 50 or 80 min. sessions.

Abdominal Massage

Add abdominal massage to your Swedish or Deep Tissue Massage*.

Abdominal massage is a noninvasive treatment that can help with a wide variety of issues, from lower back and hip pain to intestinal discomfort (gas, bloating) and even menstrual pain. And if you've been having any breathing issues, talk to your therapist about working with the diaphragm specifically.

Your comfort is our top priority. Your therapist will ensure that only the area worked will be undraped. When needed an additional draping will be used for added discretion. Remember to tell your therapist if you're feeling uncomfortable in any way so they can make appropriate adjustments.

Available in 45, 75 or 105 min. sessions.*

Massage Add-ons

Massage + IASTM

As an IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation), these tools can amplify the effects of a therapist's hands. It can help with precision and be used at any level of massage for issues such as tightness, stress, injury and more. IASTM tools can be used with delicacy and very little pressure all the way to intense. As always, it depends on what you and your therapist think you need for your specific issues/areas and comfort level.

Again, though not just for more extreme needs, it is especially effective when dealing with scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions. IASTM can take the massage to another level. These tools can promote blood circulation to an injury and help break up adhesions and other restrictions. As one client recently said: "I've never been able to feel so much in a massage!"

Available in 30, 60 or 90 min. sessions.

Massage + Theragun

Add Theragun, a deep muscle percussive therapy device, to your massage to enhance muscle recovery, release stress and tension, and soothe discomfort for those hard to reach areas.

Available in 30, 60 or 90 min. sessions.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha and jade rolling are ancient face and body techniques used as a beauty secret in ancient Egypt, China, and Greece to maintain youthful beauty, promote blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and smooth puffiness and fine lines. A treatment can give you more lifted, sculpted features, help reduce outward signs of aging, soothe dark circles, and give a fresh, rosy complexion.

Available in 30 or 60 min. sessions.

Cupping Massage

The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and calm the nervous system. Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, and rheumatism.

Available in 30, 60 or 90 min. sessions.

Hot Stone Massage

Heated stones "melt" muscle tension. Hot stones are strategically placed over areas of tension and incorporated into the massage techniques. Benefits include deep relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue, improved circulation which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury, daily stress relief and muscle toning.

Available in 60 or 90 min. sessions.
