Services
Rates can be discussed over the phone when you make your appointment.
Swedish Massage
This massage uses light to medium pressure, along with long gliding strokes.
It is also combined with kneading to prevent pain and stress. Use of either scented or unscented
oil as client requests.
Deep Tissue
This massage is based on the needs of your body. Just as the name suggests,
the massage goes much deeper into the body. It is also combined with some
softer techniques as well. This massage is used to try and rid your body of
trigger points (knots), which are the culprits of most of our pains. I will
work with you to make sure that the deepness of the massage is not too much
for "your" body.
Sports Massage
This massage is good for either the weekend warrior, the elite athlete, or
anything in between. This massage uses compressions, stretches, cross fiber
friction, as well as general massage techniques, to help relax the muscles. It help keep your muscles supple and injury free. You are better able to
keep up your training because it quickly rids you of the lactic acid, which
is a by-product of the muscles after working out, which is the culprit of
pain. This massage can be done either pre or post workout.
Pregnancy Massage
This can only be done from the 2nd trimester on. You MUST have a M.D.'s note
stating that you do not have any complications. By complications, I mean, no
hypertension, no multiple birth, no history of miscarriage, and no other
complications in any of your other pregnancies. The massage is done side
lying, and you are propped comfortably with pillows. Mother's to be find this
very relaxing . It helps the muscles which are aching due to the extra
weight and also is good for edema. It gives you a great sense of well being.
Chair Massage
This is a massage done in a special chair. It is done off site, in office,
at special events, home parties. It is done fully clothed and NO oil is ever
used. The massages usually last 15 -20 minutes. Studies have been done to
show that office workers have a greater work production and better morale
after receiving the chair massage. It also prevents repetitive motion issues
and other problems related to sitting, using a computer, or jobs that are
physically demanding. It is a great way to reward your hard working
employees, or used as a bonus. Some offices have someone on a weekly basis
for prevention.
Reiki Treatments ( Energy Healing)
This treatment is done fully clothed with NO oils. It can be done either
sitting or lying down. The universal energy is transferred into the client
by the Reiki Practitioners hands placed in various positions on the body. It
is very subtle and very relaxing. There is no danger of unbalancing someone, as with other forms of energy work since the energy enters the body and
heads off to where it is needed the most. It is healing either spiritually,
physically, or emotionally. This is not dictated by the practitioner, or the
person receiving it. It is rather dictated by the body itself. This is a
great way to put balance and relaxation back into your life.
Massage Cupping
Massage
Cupping is a modern version of an ancient healing practice. By creating
suction, and negative pressure with the use of clear plastic cups placed on
various parts of the body, (most commonly the back), it draws out toxins,
loosens adhesions, brings blood to stagnant areas and stimulates the
peripheral nervous system. Sometimes the cups are dragged up and down
the area, creating a massage-like effect. It is an awesome modality,
which I discovered during an acupuncture treatment. Clients should be
warned however that they may experience some purple circles after the
treatment that look like bruising, but does not hurt. One of my
favorite treatments.
