Massages
Deep Tissue
Reaching deeper layers of muscle, a deep tissue massage is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This type of massage is especially beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension through slow and firm strokes. A main reason for opting for a deep tissue massage is pain relief.
Swedish
The focus of this technique is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. It is especially therapeutic and focuses on decreasing muscle toxins, increasing oxygen levels in the blood, and improving flexibility in the body. Your muscles will be massaged through long strokes and circular movements.
Neuromuscular
This technique utilizes a lighter touch, while still working deep into the muscles. It is beneficial for healing tender, damaged tissue. I went to school at The South Eastern School of Neuromuscular Massage, which is now gone, so neuromuscular work is harder to find.
Energy Work
The Reiki technique is designed to help aid your body's natural healing processes. The goal is also to increase emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Deep Lymphatic Drainage
Deep lymphatic drainage is different from the lymphatic work practiced for plastic surgery recovery. Deep work covers the main hubs of the lymph system and cleans out the toxins and debris that settle into the nodes. It is a very specialized form of massage, with in-depth training.
Prenatal
I am happy to accommodate expecting mothers! A prenatal massage is an excellent gift to yourself or your the mommy-to-be in your life. We have special pregnancy pillows, designed to keep mother and baby comfortable. In order to be eligible for a prenatal massage, clients must be past the first trimester.
