Deep Tissue Massage

This type of massage is designed to relieve pain and muscle tension. Deep tissue is extremely beneficial because it reaches the deepest layer of muscles, fascia (connective tissue surrounding the joints) and tendons. The goal is to breakdown adhesions (tense areas) in the muscle, which cause pain, inflammation and limit motion of the muscles and joint. Includes aromatherapy, hot stones to back and shoulders, and cupping.

This is a safe, effective way to reduce stress due to pregnancy. Many women experience some discomfort and pain as their body adapts to changes during pregnancy. Massage helps alleviate pains such as backaches, stiffness, headaches, swelling and leg cramps.

Hot Stone

This is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated basalt stones as an extension of their hands, placing them on the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply.
