Investing in massage is an investment in your health. Some feel that massage therapy is very costly, however, when a guest comes in to receive a treatment, they are not simply paying for the time they spend on the treatment table. Cost of treatments inlcludes many aspects. Some of the things covered are laundering the linens on the table, use of massage oils and other products, regular continuing education courses to keep your therapist up-to-date on current information to improve treatments, professional dues, license renewals...etc. In the case of this practice, the guest is also awarded the many years of experience of their therapist since she has been in practice since 2003. There are life and professional experiences learned over time that simply cannot be covered in massage school. As you can see, there is so much that goes into every treatment provided so that the guest receives the best treatment possible.
Many modalities are offered, so after reading through the following information, we can discuss which style would be most appropriate for current needs. Some treatments can be provided with the guest fully clothed while others require the guest to be undressed while securely draped under linens as to protect the modesty of the guest.

Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage in the United States. It involves light to medium pressure to manipulate the superficial layers of the tissue to improve mental and physical health. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of the massage. The benefits of Swedish massage include increased blood circulation, mental and physical relaxation, decreased stress and muscle tension, and improved range of motion.
Aromatherapy
This treatment is completely different from traditional Swedish Massage. A majority of the focus during the treatment is spent on the back along the spine. It is this area the body can most efficiently absorb essential oils directly into the nervous system. This is a highly choreographed treatment specifically designed to follow the nervous system as it stems out from the spinal cord to relax the body and mind. Carefully applied pressure stimulates the nervous system while swedish strokes relieve tension and encourage lymphatic drainage and healthy circulation.
Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy
This deeply relaxing treatment uses the therapists body weight to press, sweep, swirl and sooth the muscles. Many forms of barefoot massage have been brought to the United States from India, Japan, Thailand, China and the Philippines. The majority of them are provided on a mat on the floor with the guest's head turned to the side. Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy is provided on a massage table with the guest's head comfortably in a face cradle so the spine is straight and the guest is more comfortable. The therapist uses massage oil and their freshly pedicured feet to glide across the body while the guest is securely draped. The pressure can be light (similar to a Swedish massage) or the pressure can be deep (similar to a Deep Tissue and Neuromuscular Therapy Massage) which makes this a highly customizable treatment to fit the different needs of different guests.
Reflexology
Reflexology is based on the principle in oriental medicine that there are reflex points on the ears, hands and feet which correspond to every gland, organ and part of the body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexology helps to relieve tension, improve circulation and help promote the natural function of the related areas of the body. This treatment encourages deep relaxation and restores an overall sense of balance and well-being.
Thai Massage
This modality has it's roots in Thailand and was developed more than 2,000 years ago. If offers aspects of acupressure, massage and passive assisted stretching. The bodywork is purposeful and slow as you are guided through movements while your therapist will be ever respectful of your physical limitations. You are asked to wear clothing that does not restrict movement, such as yoga attire. This modality is provided while you are fully clothed, while you are on a matt on the floor or on the massage table.
