Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage is a form of communication; a silent speech of the hands of the therapist that is transferred to the body of the client. It is a gentle signal to tell the body that it is okay to relax its muscles and tendons, and to release stress from its body and mind.
Massage is an integral part of stress management. Clinical tests show that during massage, endorphins are released from the skin into the body. This rush of endorphins strengthens the lymph and immune system and normalizes blood pressure. Some of the many benefits of massage are to improve muscle tone, alleviate pain in the joints and muscles, and to relax tight muscles caused by mental, emotional and physical stress. Massage calms and soothes the emotions and promotes a feeling of inner peace.
Swedish Massage:
Swedish massage is soothing and medicinal; long strokes toward the heart encourage blood flow and increase oxygenation of the blood. It also balances the body's hormones and increases endorphin levels in the brain.

Deep Tissue Massage:
This type of massage is a combination of kneading, stretching, and releasing of muscles. This is not a painful massage; the pressure is firm throughout with deep work in specific areas to facilitate release of the muscles and to return them to a balanced state. Other modalities, such as neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy and myofascial release may be used, depending on the needs of the client.

Japanese Treatments
Shiatsu:
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage that literally means "finger pressure". It is a unique system designed to strengthen the immune system, stimulate the lymphatic system, and increase blood circulation, thereby aiding the cleansing and detoxification of tissue. Shiatsu enhances digestion, assimilation and elimination, and is especially beneficial for chronic and acute illnesses. It relaxes and vitalizes the entire body. During shiatsu, the client remains fully clothed and is lying on a Shiatsu mat on the treatment room floor during the entire session. This is followed by a short rest, and hot herbal tea is served.
90-minute treatment: $120.00
Reiki:
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning "Universal life energy".
During a Reiki treatment, the practitioner's hands are lightly placed on or above the client's clothed body to administer a gentle, but effective treatment. The healing energy is gentle and non-invasive and helps stimulate the client's own inner energy flow. Its beneficial effects include reduction of stress, release of pain or discomfort, relaxation, and awareness. Reiki can be a treatment that stands alone, or you may combine it with a massage of your choice.
$50.00 per treatment
Foot Reflexology:
Reflexology is the study and practice of gently pressing reflex points on the feet with specific hand and finger techniques to relax corresponding parts of the body. The body can then return to a state of equilibrium or homeostasis, where circulation flows unimpeded and organs function normally. Reflexology is wonderful for people who are contraindicated for massage or other forms of bodywork. Many of my reflexology clients are diabetic or have some other form of circulation problems. It is very effective for tight or cramped feet and legs.
Our foot reflexology treatment involves a combination of reflexology and moisture balance for the feet. You can customize your aromatherapy fragrance if you wish, or you can use our selection.
$40.00 per treatment
