Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage 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.
This massage is a mixture of modalities. It's a combination of Swedish & deep tissue. this massage was created for those who like deep tissue on their back/upper body and Swedish on the legs or lower body. It's also created for those clients who only want their upper body or back massaged or their legs and feet massaged.
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body 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.

At the end of the treatment, you will be given the compresses used throughout your service. You can freeze them and reuse them for at home use or bring them back defrosted for another treatment but at a discounted rate.
Salt Foot Scrub is an add on service. I will use a salt or sugar scrub and apply to your feet to exfoliate dead skin cells. I will use heated wet towels to remove the scrub after the feet have been exfoliated. I will apply a foot balm or foot butter and give a comprehensive foot massage.
Deep Muscle is an add on service. Heated wet towels will be applied to the area that you would like this service. Typically, the back, neck, and shoulders is where this treatment is applied. A hot heated towel will be applied followed by compressions. I will use a warming oil during the massage to help get deeper into the muscles. This will be removed with another heated towel. A biofreeze product will be applied to finish up the area worked.
Aromatherapy is an add on service. You will select your massage medium (oil, cream, or lotion). You will select your essential oil and I will combine the massage medium and essential oil into a bottle. This will be your very own massage medium for the treatment. If there is any remainder product after the treatment is completed, you will be able to take it home with you and use as you desire.
Every essential oil has its benefits. You can find the benefits of each essential oil when you arrive for your appointment.
