Therapies
Relaxation/Stress Relief Massage
This massage is a smooth, gentle style of massage designed to aid circulation, range of movement, relieve minor muscle pain and promote overall relaxation to body and mind.
DeepTissue
This massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Deep tissue massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetition motions, and past lingering injuries.
Trigger Point
"Trigger points" are areas of tension commonly known as "knots". They occur in the belly of the muscle tissue and build up due to physical, mental and emotional stress. During the session, pressure is applied to the area, within the comfort level of the client. This process is very effective, lasting and profoundly transformative.
