Swedish Massage: The Swedish Massage will relax and relieve stress to the whole body.  This technique is gentle and flowing and uses mild to moderate pressure and includes most of the body.  It enhances circulation of the lymphatic, circulatory and respiratory systems.  A gentle and caring touch is also emotionally and mentally nurturing and healing.

Myofacial Massage:  This involves working with the thin surface covering over all of the muscles, to relieve pain and restore muscle to specific areas of the body.  This technique is lighter and gentler, but can be very beneficial when there is a great deal of pain or tenderness in the muscle area.  At times muscles can be so tender and contracted and any direct or heavy pressure will only increase the trauma.  This massage is wonderful in releasing and restoring health to scar tissue as well.

Neuromuscular Massage:  Neuromuscular and deep tissue massage are much more specific to muscle tissue trauma or injury.  This therapy is very beneficial when clients have general or specific pain or tenderness, as well as decreased function in muscle groups.  Pain and irritation will often increase during certain times of the day and can interfere with work, sleep, or other activities.  Generally, these issues will be brought on by repetitive use, a strain or pull or a change in activities and often just by increased stress levels.  By using moderate to deep pressure, the therapist movements will be more specific to a muscle or group of muscles.  This can be painful ( a good pain), but when the pain recedes the trigger point is released.  This allows the blood flow, oxygen & nutrients to reach the areas of the muscles to restore health to the tissue.  Deep tissue, Neuromuscular and Trigger Release are helpful and promote increased circulation of the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which promotes muscle tone and flexibility.

Pre-natal Massage: Pre-natal massage is a wonderful relief for Mom's tired and swollen muscles, especially for the back, legs and feet.  This massage is gentle and attuned to the specific needs of the pregnancy.  Only olive oil is used for this massage, no essential oils.

Reflexology Massage:  The hands and feet have pressure points that correspond directly to the organs and glands of the body.  Specific massage and pressure to these areas and using essential oils enhances this massage for increase health and benefits.  The flow of energy in all life is very important.  Attention to the hands and feet are very important, they support and do so much for us.
