Services
Massage
Integrative
Uses more specific strokes than Swedish and tends to be slower and deeper. This type of massage is directed specifically to the client’s needs with the ability to be more precise and address specific areas of muscles when needed.
Swedish
The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
Trigger Point
Uses concentrated finger pressure which is applied to painful irritated areas in muscles to break the pain/spasm cycle and promote normal function.
Hot Stone
Hot Stone Massage is paired with massage. Stones are heated and used with oils to sooth, warm, and massage your muscles. This allows your body to relax and release tension and stress.
Pregnancy
Designed specifically for the pregnant woman’s needs. Benefits of this massage include aiding the body in eliminating waste products which help to combat fatigue and increase energy. The pregnancy massage eases muscular cramping, tightness and tension, increases flexibility by relaxing the muscle. It also soothes anxiety related to the child birth experience.
Ashiatsu
Ashiatsu means “foot pressure”. It is an ancient art of massage from Asia. For Ashiatsu, the therapist will use clean, soft feet to apply deep, flowing strokes to the body. This massage is great for people that love a deep tissue massage. It can also be modified to accommodate the lightest of pressure.
Cupping (silicone cups)
Massage Cupping is a technique used to soften muscles, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues and help open the lymphatic pathways. Cupping therapy is incredibly versatile and the basic movements can easily be customized to accomplish a wide variety of techniques.
Cupping is NOT for individuals with: liver or kidney disorders, blood clotting disorders or on any blood thinning medication, are at risk of heart attack or stroke. We also will NOT provide cupping if you are currently dealing with an infection, have broken bones or torn ligaments, have had surgery less than 6 weeks prior or if you are undergoing active cancer treatments. Cupping during pregnancy will only be done if you have been receiving regular cupping treatments prior to becoming pregnant and it is not a high-risk pregnancy. In the above cases, we can usually safely provide massage without cupping!

I have worked with special needs clients; traveling to see these clients in their homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities and memory care facilities when individuals are not able to get transportation to my office (with an additional charge for the travel time and mileage.) I have worked around feeding tubes, ventilators, tracheotomies, colostomies and a variety of medical equipment. I perform massages with clients on massage tables, hospital beds, recliners and wheel chairs. Clients can be fully clothed to receive massage in hopes of decreasing the stress involved for clients who have a hard time dressing and undressing.
My intent is to help you become more aware of your body and gain better mobility.
