SWEDISH MASSAGE

For relaxation and improved tissue fluid circulation using a combination of traditional slow, long muscle-depth strokes.

LYMPHATIC

DRAINAGE

MASSAGE

The lymphatic system in the body is part of the immune system, and complementary to the circulatory system. It is comprised of a large network of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, lymphatic and lymphoid tissues. This system can be compromised by a shortage of vessels or surgery (severing the vessels or removal of the nodes) . Lymphatic drainage massage is very gentle work which can help redirect the flow of lymph, reducing swelling and restoring the cleansing of tissue by improving the flow of lymph.

POLARITY

Polarity works with the Human Energy Field, the electromagnetic patterns expressed in mental, emotional and physical experience. Health is viewed as a reflection of the condition of the energy field, and therapeutic methods are designed to balance the field for health benefit.

HOT STONE MASSAGE

Heavenly!

Deep, penetrating heat from natural basalt stones combined with traditional Swedish massage.

RAINDROP THERAPY

$100 Per Session

About 50 Minutes

We need advanced notice to have these oils on hand. Essential oils have been used and studied for centuries with consistent results emerging over time. Seven oils and two blends are used in this session which are chosen to promote balance and spinal alignment from muscle relaxation. First the oils are used on the feet to reflex/refer the benefits to the spine. Then a series of techniques are used directly on the spinal area as the organic essential oils are "rained" down upon the skin and massaged in. .

ASSISTED ISOLATED STRETCHING

Developed by Aaron L. Mattes, this technique of preventive and restorative muscle stretching based upon reciprocal innervation of muscle tissue, the "when one muscle is stretched, the opposite/antagonist is contracted." This is extremely effective for restoring full muscle length and alleviation of pain.

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

​

Deep, steady pressure in very specific areas of tender taut bands called "trigger points" in muscle tissue for release so the muscle can return to its full length and function.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

(MFR)

JOHN BARNES METHOD

​

Fascia is the connective tissue which runs around and through and between every part of the human body in a continuous sheet. When restrictions occur in this material, function is diminished or halted. A prolonged pressure of 5 minutes or more into this tissue at the restrictions can restore health and function, even in areas remote to the treatment site. Please use no lotion or liquid makeup before your appointment, and bring gym shorts or a two piece bathing suit just in case it is needed in addition to our draping.
