Self care is not an expense; it is an investment
Massage Treatments
Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork
I offer massage treatments that are tailored to your body by incorporating several techniques aiming to relieve chronic pain, muscle tension and to bring about whole body well-being.
The same massage is never done twice!
My preference for deep tissue massages is a targeted approach during your session, that way I am able to take my time and focus on reaching deeper layers of muscle at a slower pace. Deep tissue is beneficial to break down congestion in the muscles and to help relieve the tension you are experiencing. Anytime you receive a deeper tissue massage you will likely feel sore within 24 -48 hours. Firm pressure, is NOT deep tissue, there is a difference. Let's talk! After we have discussed what your body needs, we can determine a plan just for you!
(treatments often incorporate; elbows, forearms, knuckles, closed fist, palm heal, trigger point therapy, stretching, traction, tapotement, various massage strokes, cupping and IASTM which is instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization) pressure of massage discussed during treatment.

Aromatherapies
Essential oils are an intricate part of the massage treatments I design.
Essential oils promote a myriad of health benefits that I believe in, and to enhance your experience in a personal way.
I have done extensive research that has lead me to purchasing organic essential oils and carrier oils primarily from France.
There are times I cannot acquire these oils but will always use high quality trusted oils from NON-MLM companies.
If this does not suit you, you are welcome to bring your own essential oils.
Cupping Massage
Cupping uses suction and negative pressure that can loosen muscles, help inflammation, reduce pain, improve blood flow, provides relaxation by sedating the nervous system, pulls out toxins lingering about in your muscle tissue and can be incorporated into ant treatment
Fact: 5 minutes of cupping equals a half hour of traditional deep tissue massage.
*Cupping does not always leaves marks on the body. If left on for 5 minutes or more, the marks will occur. The markings left on the body are indicative of stagnation and toxins. Marks on the body fade away 5 or more days after treatment depending on the stagnation level.
*Please discuss this with your therapist. Copies of skin toxins and stagnation colors are provided
