SERVICES & Modalities:

You won't be disappointed. Treat yourself or a friend to an hour or more of pampering in a peaceful, relaxing environment. Soothing, rejuvenating energy awaits!

• Therapeutic Massage – A little more intense than a pure relaxation massage, similar to deep tissue massage with pressure and cross-fiber friction to release muscle tightness.
• Facial Massage – Cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the face to promote clear, well-hydrated skin.
• Reflexology  – Applies pressure to areas in the hands and feet called “reflex zones”, which can aid in reducing stress and promotes overall relaxation.
• Light Therapy  – Phototherapy or heliotherapy can expedite healing when it exposes specific areas of the skin to treat certain disorders. Special light-emitting diodes also emit full-spectrum light and deep, penetrating pulsating light to relax and relieve seasonal and non-seasonal mood disorders.

BENEFITS of Massage:

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation.
• Reduced fatigue.

FAQS:

1. What parts of my body will be massaged?
   A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders.
2. What will the massage or bodywork feel like?
   A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.
3. Are there different kinds of massage and bodywork?
   There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.

Late Arrivals

Depending upon how late you arrive, your therapist will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start a treatment.
