Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. This is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Chair Massage

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.

Reiki Add on

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.

Hot Stone Therapy Add on

Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body and used as tools during the massage to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.

Cold Stone Therapy Add on

According to LiveStrong.com: a few massage applications are particularly well-suited for cold stones. Some examples include eye balancing, which is characterized by applying flat stones to the eyes to reduce redness and inflammation. Cryofacial balancing involves smoothing the cold stones over the face to cool and soothe irritated skin. The same technique can be used elsewhere on the body to relieve redness or irritation from a chemical peel or waxing. If you're treating muscle pain or joint inflammation, surrounding the affected area with cold stones -- a technique called cocooning -- offers significant relief from discomfort.

Some obvious benefits include cooling your body and relieving discomfort associated with hot temperatures or hot flashes. Beyond that, cold stones offer therapeutic effects on a range of conditions ranging from easing arthritis pain and muscle injuries to alleviating sinus congestion. Additionally, cold stone therapy can reduce swelling, relax muscle spasms, decrease menstrual pain and restore energy levels. Alternating hot and cold stones -- a technique known as thermal contrasting -- can also help stimulate organ reflexes and blood vessels, increase blood flow to areas with inadequate circulation, help remove impurities and give skin a firmer texture.
