Swedish:
A relaxing full body massage. Client is unclothed on a table, covered by a sheet and massaged with oil.
Your session consists of long fluid strokes, pressing, kneading and rubbing your muscles. This modality is
excellent for alleviating aches and pains, releasing toxins and improving your circulation. When you feel the need to
be pampered, Swedish Massage is the best choice for you.
Shiatsu: A Japanese full body massage on the floor.
I incorporate this style massage on a table. Client is unclothed, covered with a sheet and massaged with oil. Your
session consists of gentle stretching and joint mobility using thumb and fist pressure to release muscle tightness
to increase your range of motion. This holistic modality promotes self healing by balancing your body's energy,
heightening your awareness and creating an overall sense of well being.
Deep Tissue: A deeper, more clinical type of full body massage.
Client is unclothed on a table, covered with a sheet and massaged with oil. This
method is designed to target knots and tension.
In addition to my hands, I use forearms and elbows for extra pressure. Your
session consists of pinning, separating and realigning muscle groups with slow focused penetrating strokes. It is more intense than other styles of massage, but I never go beyond your
threshold of pain. Soreness is common the following day.
Tissue Density Restoration (TDR): A clinical massage based upon the
theory that every pain in the musculoskeletal system is closely related to the elevation of tissue density. Client is
unclothed on a table, covered with a sheet and massaged with oil. This style massage is based on seven principles
that target specific areas of tension to help loosen and soften your muscles back to its normal density
therefore relieving pain. Note: This massage is designed for problematic areas. It is not a full body massage.
Sports
Massage: A vigorous athletic full body massage. Client is unclothed on a table, covered with a sheet
and massaged with oil. This faster paced massage is usually done before, during or after a vigorous activity to help
heal minor injuries and prevent further ones. Your session consists of jostling, beating, compressing and stretching
your muscles to maximize their performance. This modality drains away fatigue, pain, swelling and relieves
muscle cramps. If you play sports or are active at the gym, Sports Massage is the one for you.
Accupressure Massage:
An alternative medical massage based on the same principals of Chinese accupuncture to promote relaxation, wellness and
treat disease. No needles are used. Instead, pressure is applied to areas of tension with the palms and knots are targeted
with the thumbs. Hot towels may be used as a compress. Client may receive this work clothed, however unclothed on
a table, covered with a sheet and massaged with oil is more effective.
Reflexology
(foot massage): An alternative medicine involving pressure to the feet with the thumbs. It is based
on a ancient Egyptian theory that the body is divided into a system of zones which are reflected on the soles of the feet,
with the premise that massaging these specific points will detect and correct imbalances within the body. It is a
shorter session performed on your bare feet while lying fully clothed on your back on a massage table; little or no
oil is required. $20 for 20 minutes.
