Massage Services

Swedish Massage

A Swedish massage is what most people think of as a relaxing, soothing massage.  The pressure can be light or deep but there is no attempt made to structurally change the body.  When the stress of everyday life gets you down, a Swedish massage is just what the doctor ordered.

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage is very effective for relief of tight, tense muscles.  If you have an area that has been giving you pain, this is the type of massage you want.  A deep tissue massage is a deep Swedish massage with deep tissue strokes in problem areas to change the body.  Your therapist can generally tell where to apply deep tissue strokes by doing a Swedish Massage.

Prenatal Massage

Perfect for expectant mothers to help ease the physical discomfort and mental fatigue associated with pregnancy.  The areas to focus on vary during each trimester.  A knowledgeable therapist knows the rules of thumb but also knows how to listen to you and your body to give you the most relaxing massage possible.  See our Prenatal page to read more.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stones can be incorporated into any of our other massages.  The heat from the stones relaxes your muscles like never before, leaving you feeling wonderful.

Reflexology

Reflexology is the method of treating certain areas on the hands and feet in order to achieve certain effects in other areas of the body.  It can be helpful with chronic problems that are not responding to other treatments.  One session is 30 minutes and will include a foot bath and/or hand soak depending on which area is being treated.

Polarity

Polarity is a method of energy work that is based on the fact that each person is surrounded by a magnetic field that can sometimes become unbalanced.  When this happens, a person can feel "out of sorts".  A polarity session is 30 minutes and involves the therapist using their hands to balance out your magnetic field.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is typically for either right before an event or right after.  Therefore, it is usually done at the event location.  It helps to get the tissues warmed up and helps improve the performance of the athlete.  After the event, it helps to keep lactic acid from building up and causing soreness or injury. Call our offices to find out rates to have us at your next event.

Infant Massage Instruction

Infant massage is a wonderful way to help soothe your baby and to develop a close bond between parent and child.  Our instruction will be a class for mommy and daddy to see an infant massage demonstrated on their baby.  We will cover what you will need and how to perform the massage so that you may go home and start to massage your baby.

Spa Therapies

Spa therapies included a variety of treatments including body wraps and face glows. They are designed for the individual using different muds to cater to your needs. We offer a detoxification wrap, a cellulite wrap, and a hydrating wrap. All of these are relaxing and refreshing. Combine them with a massage for a two hour relaxtion session!
