Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has been shown to have both physical and mental benefits including reduction in pain, stress, muscle spasms, tension, anxiety, depression, headaches, blood pressure, and heart rate. Massage therapy also increases immune system activity, production of endorphins, muscle flexibility, muscle tone, range of motion, and body awareness. Research has verified that: Office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better and were less stressed than those who weren't massaged; Massage therapy decreased the effects of anxiety, tension, depression, pain, and itching in burn patients; and Autistic children showed less erratic behavior after massage therapy.

There are 24 hours in a day. Why not reserve one just for yourself?

Therapeutic Massage uses a system of long strokes, kneading and friction on the more superficial muscles. These full-body sessions promote general relaxation, improve blood circulation and range-of-motion and relieve muscle tension. Great for stress-reduction. Available in 60 and 90 minute sessions.

Deep Tissue Massage releases the chronic patterns of tension. I use deeper, more precise pressure with my fingers, elbows and forearms on various layers of muscle tissue and fascia where deep-seated patterns of pain and tension build up. I also include post-massage stretching of the area we have focused on. Great for chronic issues and injuries. Available in 60 and 90 minute sessions.

The Raindrop Technique is a powerful, non-invasive tool for assisting the body in correcting defects in the curvature of the spine, including scoliosis and kyphosis and general back pain. It is based on the theory that many types of scoliosis and spinal misalignments are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which in turn, contorts and disfigures the spinal column. Therapeutic grade essential oils are dispensed like little drops of rain above the back and massaged along the vertebrae and back muscles. The client then lays on a hot towel, while the massage is continued on their feet. Available in a 60 minute session only.

Therapeutic/Reiki Combo Massage combines the benefits of a relaxing full-body massage along with a thirty minute Reiki session.
