Add On Treatments
Enhance your session with one or more of these massage add ons. They are the perfect treat to compliment your service.
Arnica Lotion
$5.00
Arnica is an herb that provides relief for injured muscles with inflammation and pain. Adding this lotion to your massage will help soothe especially sore muscles.
Hot Stones
$10.00
Hot stones can be incorporated into any table massage. They penetrate heat deep into muscles to help loosen the tissue and relieve tension. Adding hot stones to your massage takes it to the next level of relaxation and can have a very calming effect.
Therapeutic cupping and scraping
$10.00
Cupping is when cups are placed on the body and create a suction. It is used to help draw out toxins, soften tight muscles, loosen adhesions and increase blood flow. Scraping, also known as Gua Sha, involves taking a tool to repeatedly scrape (without breaking skin) an area to help break up scar tissue, decrease pain, and bring new blood. Both techniques can leave red splotches (called sha) that go away within a few days. Repeated sessions often bring up less sha. This gives us insight into the fact that something is being released and then cleared out from the area.
Aromatic Hot Towels
$10.00
Choose a favorite essential oil and get ready for a luxurious and comforting experience. Hot towels can help soften tight muscles, sooth irritated nerve endings, and increase circulation.
Dry skin brushing
$10.00
Enjoy full body skin brushing incorporated into your massage. Dry skin brushing is a technique that gently exfoliates dead skin cells, brings blood and oxygen to the surface of the skin, and helps in the detoxification process.
Type of Massages
About Thai Massage
Thai massage is an ancient healing art form that is often referred to as the "lazy person's yoga." You relax into the mat and do nothing while the practitioner moves you through stretches to improve range of motion. The use of deep compression techniques release tension and stagnation in your muscles. Stretches are done within your comfort level, making it suitable for all levels of flexibility. Because of the slow, rhythmic nature of this type of massage, it is best to book a 90 minute or two hour session. 60 minute sessions are great for spot treatments and specific pain relief.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is best used to relieve pain from old injuries and increase mobility. Using deep tissue techniques (which does not always mean deep pressure), we are able to loosen restrictions in muscles and fascia. The work is in the deeper tissues and there may be some discomfort at the time of massage. After the session you will experience pain relief and increased mobility. I tend to use a mix of myofascial release, Tui Na (Chinese massage), and Thai massage techniques modified for the table based on what I feel the tissue needs most. It is best for the client to choose one or two focus areas when choosing a deep tissue massage.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage (also known as Swedish massage) is one of the most well known types of massage. Oil or lotion is used with long, flowing strokes to put you in a state of "rest and digest." It increases circulation, helps rid your body of cellular waste, lowers blood pressure, increases digestion, and more. This massage is wonderful for those who want a full body massage that leaves you feeling balanced and rejuvenated.
