Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils & lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. I work head to toe unless, of course, there are any points you don't want addressed (i.e. feet, hair, face, etc). Treat yourself!
Before the first treatment we'll create a session tailored for you based on your overall health, history, and goals of the massage.
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 more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body; it's not meant to cure any ailments, but complements any treatment you might be going through. 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.
Your session starts with a 20 minute epson salt foot bath with organic essential oils such as tea tree oil, lavendar, peppermint, and/or lemon. During this bath, I work on the reflex points in your hands while giving a little arm massage. Next, I'll wrap your foot in a warm wool sock while I address your foot and lower leg before switching to the other side. Finally, your session ends with a neck/head massage where I will, of course, address the reflex points in your ears.
Come try it out & treat yourself!

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. I work head to toe unless, of course, there are any points you don't want addressed (i.e. feet, hair, face, etc). This type of massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, I will check in with you at the beginning of the session (& as needed) to make sure that I'm delivering the right pressure at the right points. Not only will I use tapping, kneading, and cupping, I will also use my elbows in order to get to a deeper layer of your muscles. You might feel sore after the initial treatment and it's important that you stay especially hydrated after to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
