CURATED MASSAGES MAY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
Acupressure is based on one of the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, firm pressure is directly applied to these "points" on the body, which relieves muscle tension and improves circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to be very effective in treating headaches, backaches, mental stresses, and even insomnia.
Oncology Massage is a special type of massage developed specifically for cancer patients. Cancer patients have unique needs which must be addressed to make sure that a massage is beneficial to their health. Attention is focused on creating a nurturing environment that is conducive to providing the client access into a gateway of great relaxation.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress. This treatment consists of techniques that are utilized to optimize the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. It is a non-manipulative hands on method that restores balance in the nervous system. It helps to release emotional energy of past traumas that have been retained, suppressed, and isolated within the body to improve self regulation.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. This type of massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Soreness is common after treatment, and drinking sufficient amounts of water is suggested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the treatment during the session.
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime one experiences emotional or physical illness, it indicates the life force has simply become imbalanced. Work is done with the energy field to restore balance and flow to the entire system. Once the energy field has been restored to full health, the body will follow.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from surgery, injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
The body stores stress related tension in specific areas called pressure points. These points are small painful pockets of energy that are located along a nerve pathway in the body. They inhibit electrical impulses causing a variety of discomforts, such as numbness, and illnesses. Treatment is done by applying pressure to these specific points to release blockages and restore the nerve pathways to optimal health and function.
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.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injury. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pain and swelling in the body, relax the mind, and increase flexibility. It is also highly effective in aiding rapid recovery by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing, therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines an array of strokes such as effleurage (smooth gliding strokes), rolling, and kneading. The benefits of this type of bodywork include relief from aches and pains, decreased levels of stress hormones, stimulation of the release of endorphins to improve mood, enhanced mental clarity, and improvement of flexibility by elongating muscles.
Chair massage, also known as seated or corporate massage, is a form of massage therapy that is performed while seated upright in a specialized ergonomic chair and fully clothed. For this reason, it is popular at trade shows, conventions, conferences, and other big events. Like table massage, chair massage offers numerous benefits such as reduced muscle tension, deeper breathing, stress reduction, and increased focus. It is a convenient way for employers to provide massage at work, and an ideal option for improving productivity or morale.
Infant Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically to promote healthy development in infants. Nurturing human touch is crucial for a healthy thriving baby, and the benefits of massaging an infant are potent and numerous. Infant massage has shown to improve growth and development of the brain and nervous system, improve the quality of a baby's sleep, and strengthen their immune system.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
This form of Khemetic Cupping Therapy, also known as “wet cupping”, is an ancient, wholistic method utilized for a variety of bodily disorders. This practice originated in ancient Khemet, later called Egypt, and can be found in one of the oldest medical text books in the world, the Ebers Papyrus. It describes how the ancient Khemetians utilized cupping therapy in 1550 BC. It is a safe, non-invasive therapeutic trauma that involves creating a controlled subcutaneous inflammation via means of myofascial decompression and scarification. This stimulates the body to increase its blood circulation with new red blood cells and boosts the immune system allowing the body to use its natural resources to heal itself.
This form of Khemetic Cupping Therapy, also known as “dry cupping”, is a form of therapy in which a local suction is created on the skin with the application of cups. The suction provides relief from tension of muscles and fascia, and promotes increased blood circulation and cell repair. This practice originated in ancient Khemet, later called Egypt, and can be found in one of the oldest medical text books in the world, the Ebers Papyrus. It describes how the ancient Khemetians utilized cupping therapy in 1550 BC.
Our specialty cupping therapy is a lifting technique. As suction is applied to the skin, the reverse pressure helps to break up cellulite while stimulating blood circulation. As a result, adipose and toxins are released and moved to the lymphatic drainage network, therefore, giving skin a more smooth texture.
Be Gone Prodrome
Migraine headaches are broken down into four phases. The first phase is called Prodrome. This is the premonitory phase that can begin hours or days prior to the actual headache phase. Our Be Gone Prodrome is designed to eliminate the stiffness and tension associated with the onset of a migraine headache. It also targets points in associated muscles groups that cause stimulation and/or pressure on nerves thereby reducing stress and improving blood flow.

Legs Renewer
This treatment is the choice of runners and weight trainers. It is formulated to reduce the onset of muscle tension and soreness, relieve sciatica, reduce lactic acid build up, and spread oxygenated blood and restorative chemicals to muscles which in turn helps the body recover from workouts faster. It also increases joint range of motion (ROM) and enhances muscle performance.

Back Works

It helps to alleviate pain in the shoulders, triceps, anterior forearms, hands, back, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and feet. And since all is in prone, it also allows for uninterrupted relaxation.
Feet Retreat
The "getaway" for feet. Our feet carry us throughout the day. This treatment was created to refresh and revive overworked, tired feet. It starts with a refreshing cleanse followed by an exfoliating scrub. Next we use reflexology and stimulating massage to boost circulation, increase nerve function, and induce relaxation. The final touch is an herbal mist with a foot spritzer for nourishing healthy feet.
Energy Work
Energy Work is a form of treatment that cleanses and balances the energy systems in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, work is done directly with the energy field to remove blockages, detoxify the system, and restore vital life force energy. Energy Work utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between client and worker. The benefits of Energy Work range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
Emotional Balancing
Our emotional balancing sessions include Swedish massage, the aromatherapy enhancement, energy work, and sound waves that trigger the release of "feel good" hormones. These sessions are ideal for clients seeking to balance or improve emotional states, or to simply maintain emotional well-being. They are conveniently available in 4- or 6-weeks packages.
Muscle Memory Renewer
These sessions are designed to reform muscle memory. When muscles maintain a contraction for extended periods of time, whether from over exertion or poor posture, they tend to memorize and sustain the contracted position. This in turn can lead to chronic and significant myofascial pain. Our muscle memory renewer sessions have shown and proven to reform muscle memory and are a remedy to alleviating severe pain. They are also available in 4- or 6-weeks packages.

These one-hour sessions are based on a program I've designed to assist the practitioner in achieving spiritual realization, emotional, and physical well-being by integrating spirit, mind, and body. These sessions may include educational lecture, qi gong, and guided meditation.
The lecture will touch on basic key points of the dynamics of spiritually cultivating. This is usually followed by a session of qi gong, and ends with a guided meditation practice. Qi gong is an ancient exercise and healing technique that involves meditation, controlled breathing, and movement exercises. It's main goal is to enable the practitioner to spontaneously respond with the right thoughts, right feelings, and right actions in any situation without premeditation or preparation.
