Massage Therapy

Therapeutic Massage

Using a combination of different techniques, this session will be specifically tailored to address your areas of concern.  Pressure is applied based on preference and focused on releasing tension areas.  This is a full body experience that will help your body ease into the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and restore), ease tensions and pain, and welcome relaxation and connection to body and mind. 

Pre and Postnatal Massage

Prenatal massage is specifically customized to assist a mother during her pregnancy.  This safe and nurturing session can alleviate many ailments that come with this special time, bringing relief to a sore lower back, releasing tension in the upper body, and increasing the flow of nutrients that nourish the placenta. The emotional and physical relaxation that is created during a prenatal massage is not only beneficial to the mother but also to the unborn child.  A postnatal session is essential for the continuing care and well-being of a new mom.  This massage is one way to begin the healing process after giving birth.  The release of serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin can ease postnatal anxiety, stress, and assist in processing trauma many women experience during labor.  Receiving a postnatal massage will sooth and rejuvenate the new mother!

Chi Nei Tsang

Chi Nei Tsang is an ancient Taoist modality that means to “work the energy of the internal organs” which will detoxify, remove blockages, and strengthen the body. The treatment is performed on the abdomen and works to stimulate and remove stagnation from the internal organs so they can function more efficiently. This can help clear the elimination and drainage pathways for the lymphatics and circulatory system, help release unprocessed emotions that cause illness, and help correct deep structural misalignments that cause chronic pain. This practice is wonderful for those trying to conceive and who may struggle with chronic or acute digestive issues.

Medi-Cupping

This practice is rooted in the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine art of utilizing cups to draw out pathogens, release the muscle layer of the body, and break up adhesions. This powerful modality takes it up a notch. The cups are attached by tubes to a machine that has multiple settings for intensity of suction as well as varying types of suction and pulsing. It is wonderfully healing for ailments such as plantar fascitis, tendonitis, and stubborn muscle tension anywhere on the body. The machine also has a gentle setting for lymphatic work.
