Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly. It helps to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and also increase range of motion. If you are elderly, geriatric massage can help you maintain and improve your overall health, as well as regain certain physical functions that have been reduced due to aging. In addition, since the elderly don't typically receive enough physical touch, this massage can also help alleviate symptoms of loneliness or depression.
Cupping is a traditional Chinese technique that relies on negative pressure creating suction on the skin. This negative pressure brings hydration and blood flow to the body's tissues and promotes self healing in injured areas.
Cupping therapy helps relieve aching muscles, releases joint stiffness, loosens adhesions and may reduce inflammation for a variety of acute and chronic conditions.
During your session once the tissue has been warmed up with massage I will then place plastic suction cups over specific treatment areas, producing a vacuum effect. This technique can be done static (non moving) or dynamic (moving the cups) depending on the area and over a period of 4-10 mins.
A couples massage is a great way to carve out time to spend together. Prioritizing time with your spouse or partner shows them that they are important to you. I offer 30-60 mins Swedish mobile massage. I will create a relaxing atmosphere in the comfort of your home with aromatherapy, relaxing music and hot towels. Since I am a single practitioner I will work on one person at a time. It is a perfect date night idea after a long day at work. I offer this service monday- thursday 6pm.
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
