Massage Techniques
European/Swedish The most common type of relaxation or stress reduction massage. Helps to reduce stress, circulate blood and lymph flow, and remove toxins from muscle tissue. Deep Tissue Used to help repair damaged parts of muscle connections due to physical or emotional stress. It does so by manipulating the trigger point to increase blood circulation and release it of toxins. Addresses the musculature and elastic components of body tissue, helping to realign and free the fascia. In doing so also helps to release memories of past trauma stored in the tissue. Reflexology An art and science that is based on the principle that there are reflex points and areas in the ears, hands, and especially, the feet that correspond to every gland, organ, and part of the body. By skillful stimulation of these areas and points with hand, finger and thumb techniques, the body systems are facilitated to greater balance. Pregnancy Massage Comforts and relieves a pregnant woman's body (sciatica, edema, and back pain, to name but a few symptoms aided by massage). Special pregnancy tables allow the woman to lie face down. Medical & Auto Accident Recovery Working by prescription, the medical massage therapist works with pathologies, pain or recovery from injury. Have you been injured in a car accident?

Healing is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Energy work treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. Shiatsu
Shiatsu is an ancient Oriental healing therapy using the acupuncture meridian system. It treats the person by balancing the flow of Qi/Chi (life energy). It is performed on a mat, on the floor with the therapist applying pressure to the meridians. A lot of meridian stretching is done to restore flexibility and energy flow. Shiatsu treats the whole being, as well as specific ailments. Be sure to wear comfortable, stretchy clothes!
