Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is one of the most commonly offered massage techniques. It's sometimes called a "classic massage" or "regular massage". Most massage treatments originate from the use of Swedish Massage. Think of this massage type as the standard massage from which other types of massage are created. This massage aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension using light to medium pressure. Areas of the body needing specific attention may be addressed as needed during the massage.

Hot Ashi Massage

Our massage therapist applies Barefoot (Ashiatsu) Massage techniques, using foot pressure, to deepen the deliverance of heat through many layers of tissue. Hot Ashi is Thermal Therapy using varying sizes of flax hot packs. This massage will deliver strategic depth to known anatomical dysfunctions that cause discomfort, restricted movement, pain, and muscle tissue damage. Bonus: You don't have to take any clothes off with a Hot Ashi session to find relief! 

Barefoot Massage  (Ashiatsu Massage)

Barefoot Massage (Ashiatsu) is a massage technique that involves the application of the massage therapist's clean, soft feet to your body with the pressure of body weight to produce full body results. This is our Massage Therapist's favorite because of the results it produces. During a Barefoot Massage, bare feet deliver deep, compressive, long gliding strokes, and assisted stretching. Your experience will range from deep relaxation to specific, focused results based on your requests. Barefoot Massage can give as much as 10x the pressure of Deep Tissue Massage, without the pain of Deep Tissue Massage. This massage will free up joint movement for better range-of-motion. Barefoot Massage will also lengthen your spine to take pressure off of compressed nerves and discs that have contributed to pain.The pressure of your massage can be adjusted according to your preferences from gentle pressure, to the deepest pressure needed to achieve specific results. Bonus: Hot Ashi thermal packs (see above) may be added to this session with no extra charge!

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that's mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes and trigger point manipulation to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. There may be some pain involved as pressure is applied to reach through deeper layers of muscle and tissue. The pain usually lasts a few hours after the massage. The following day the pain typically subsides and the muscles are much more fluid and less tense.

Prenatal Massage

Research shows that prenatal massage can help reduce stress, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pain, and improve labor outcomes, according to the American Pregnancy Association. Prenatal massage can also help regulate hormone levels, help blood circulation, and reduce swelling. If your doctor has informed you of any significant health issues in regards to your pregnancy, please bring a note from your doctor giving permission to perform the massage.

Hot Stone Massage

This type of massage feels very luxurious and soothing. A Hot Stone massage eases tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body. The massage therapist uses heated lava stones and a warmed oil to massage the body, rather than using pressured strokes by hand. The heat from the smooth, lava stones works deeply to alleviate pain and promote calm. 

Peace Out Massage

This massage is designed to create a total mind/body relaxation experience. Essential oils, blended with a lavender base, are used with your preference of depth of pressure.  The massage therapist will have Healing Frequency music (playing in the background) during your massage to help bring you into a calmed state.  You may customize this massage by bringing your own preference of essential oils and/or earbuds to listen to whatever sounds and scents are most relaxing to you. Choose this massage for the ultimate in deep relaxation. 

Reiki Energy Session

Reiki is a deeply relaxing, sometimes healing session in which the practioner is a passageway for life energy (Think Chai, Qi, Ki, Chi, Prana, Orenda, Breath). Andrea will use a hands-off approach to allow energy to flow where it needs to go, to benefit your mind, body, and spirit. You will not need to remove any clothing for the session. You may experience a feeling of heat, cold, electricity, or some other sensation as the energy moves to where it needs to care for you. You might not feel anything at all, but there will still be loving energy flowing in a manner that will be helpful to you. Bonus: Reiki may be added to any massage session FREE (Please request at time of scheduling, as this will not be delivered without your consent.)
