Eastern Bodywork >
This ancient art of massage is used for balance and rejuvenation. Based on the principles of Thai massage and Zen Shiatsu, the techniques are used to open and release blockages in the energy meridians in the body that correlate with the physical organs to promote health. It is performed on a cushioned floor mat, with the client in loose, comfortable clothing, and consists of finger or palm pressure application and gentle stretching techniques. Excellent choice for first time clients uncomfortable with disrobing or those in need of increased flexibility.  Also used to access deeper tissues incorporating use of therapist's elbows, knees and feet.
 
1.5 hour    $ 250
 
 
Swedish Massage >
This is the most popular type of massage and involves long, fluid strokes using oil/cream. It is performed with the client disrobed to their comfort and covered with a sheet. It's a luxurious way to pamper yourself and is used for general relaxation and skin/circulation improvement. I use standard draping procedures set by the American Massage Therapy Association, so there is never any exposure of genitals, breast tissue or gluteal cleavage. Only the area being worked on at the time is ever exposed. Warm basalt stones can also be incorporated into this session for further muscle relaxation.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage >
This modality encourages lymphatic circulation throughout the body, which is beneficial for detoxing and reducing swelling (edema).  Skin brushing is used to lightly exfoliate and  stimulate the skin and its underlying structures, which is then followed by feathery strokes to drain the lymphatic vessels.  Your choice of talc or oil may be used.   This modality can be incorporated into the Swedish Massage.  Lymphatic drainage is extremely beneficial for Cancer survivors.

Sports Massage >
Includes pre- and post-event massage designed with the athlete in mind. Pre-event massage prepares the body for its upcoming task using compression techniques to increase blood and nutrients to tissues. Also includes light stretching and warming techniques. Post-event massage aims to flush lactic acid build-up from muscle tissue in order to reduce fatigue and pain. Maintenance Sports Massage focuses on toning muscle tissue for optimum performance, and can include hot towel compresses on tight muscles or cold towel compresses/ice massage for injured areas (depends on degree and state of injury). This massage style incorporates injury rehabilitation techniques (muscle energy techniques, trigger point therapy, structural integration, myofascial release), stretching, and deep work as needed. Warm basalt stones can also be incorporated into this session for further muscle relaxation. This modality is not limited to the athlete as similar techniques are used for repetitive strain injuries and rehabilitation from other injuries.

Pregnancy Massage >
A great way to allow the body to be comfortable with this beautiful transition of life. It is geared to make the expectant mother as comfortable as possible with alternative body positioning and techniques. It eases the stress on the body and is very effective for relieving back and leg pains in a more natural way. It can be experienced during any stage of pregnancy unless there are complications. Post-partum massage is also an excellent way to soothe the body after giving birth and tone the muscles that were stretched. Always check with your doctor to make sure this is right for you!
