SWEDISH MASSAGE

This is the basis for all western massage. It involves a combination of strokes which move stagnant bodily fluids, tonify the tissues, and facilitate improved range of motion. It is the most common bodywork for general relaxation. There are a number of variations of this modality, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and sports massage.

ACUPRESSURE

This technique of Chinese origin promotes a balance of the energy forces of the body using the Meridian System. Specific pressure points are stimulated on the surface of the skin to produce a desired outcome of a bodily function.  

REFLEXOLOGY

This form of massage focuses on the feet and utilizes a "zone system" in which stimulation applied to certain areas of the feet and hands correspond to specific systems of the body. This modality also has roots in the Chinese Meridian system.

GERIATRIC MASSAGE

A unique protocol that was created by a gerentologist to address the health issues related to aging, and to facilitate more efficient bodily functions in the elderly population. Components of this modality are also useful in addressing symptoms found in younger age groups.                    

AROMATHERAPY

The use of essential oils as therapeutic agents are only now being fully realized in this culture. Each botanical has distinct properties that are used to promote specific responses.  Clients must always express any known sensitivities to prevent reactions.

After assessing the client's health history and discussing the expressed preferences, a session will be tailored to address the goals of the individual incorporating any combination of the above therapies.
