SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage is a type of therapeutic massage that is designed to relax the entire body. It uses long, flowing strokes to increase circulation and reduce muscle tension. Swedish massage is one of the most common types of massage, and is incorporated into most of our massages.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that is designed to reach the deeper layers of the muscles and connective tissue. It is often used to help alleviate chronic muscle pain and tension, and to improve range of motion and flexibility. The therapist will use slow, deep strokes and firm pressure to reach the deeper layers of the muscles and connective tissue. This type of massage can be somewhat intense, so it is important to communicate with the therapist about your comfort level and any areas that you want them to avoid. Deep tissue massage is typically done with the person lying on a massage table, and the therapist will use oil or lotion to help reduce friction on the skin.
PAIN RELIEF
Massage can help relieve pain by relaxing the muscles and reducing tension in the body. It can also increase circulation, which can help to speed up the healing process. Massage can also stimulate the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Endorphins can help to reduce pain and improve mood. Massage can be particularly helpful for people who experience chronic pain, such as back pain or headaches. In addition to relieving pain, massage can also help to improve range of motion and flexibility, and can reduce stress and promote relaxation.
CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction can help to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Cupping therapy is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle pain, inflammation, and respiratory disorders. The cups used in cupping therapy are typically made of glass, plastic, or silicone, and are placed on the skin using either heat or suction. The suction created by the cups can help to lift the skin and underlying tissues, which can improve circulation and promote healing. Cupping therapy can be incorporated into any of our massages.
HOT STONES
Hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The stones are typically made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat well. The therapist will place the heated stones on specific points on the body, such as the back, hands, or feet. The heat from the stones can help to relax the muscles and improve circulation. The therapist may also use the stones as part of the massage, by holding them in their hands and using them to apply pressure to the body. Hot stone massage is thought to be particularly beneficial for people who have muscle tension or pain. The heat from the stones can help to loosen the muscles and reduce pain and stiffness.
THERAPEUTIC CREAMS
Therapeutic creams are commonly used in massage to reduce friction between the skin and the massage therapist's hands, allowing for a smoother and more comfortable massage. They can also have other benefits, such as providing moisturization to the skin and helping to relax the muscles. Some therapeutic creams may also contain ingredients that have additional therapeutic benefits, such as pain relief or muscle relaxation. Overall, the use of therapeutic creams in massage can help to enhance the overall experience and effectiveness of the massage.
ESSENTIAL OILS
In the context of massage therapy, essential oils are often used to enhance the relaxation and therapeutic effects of the massage. They are typically added to a carrier oil, such as almond oil or jojoba oil, and then applied to the skin during the massage. The aroma of the essential oils can help to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere, which can help to promote relaxation and reduce stress. The oils can also be absorbed into the skin, where they may provide additional benefits such as pain relief or muscle relaxation. Additionally, some essential oils are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce swelling and inflammation in the muscles and joints. Overall, the use of essential oils in massage therapy can help to enhance the overall therapeutic effects of the massage.
PRENATAL MASSAGE / PREGNANCY MASSAGE

We use pregnancy pillows or sidelying techniques to ensure comfort during each session.
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT MASSAGE
Massage therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and depression, as well as other mental health conditions. Massage can help to promote relaxation and reduce stress, which can have a positive effect on mental health. Additionally, massage can increase levels of feel-good hormones in the body, such as serotonin and dopamine, which can help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Massage can also help to improve sleep, which is often disrupted in people with anxiety and depression. Getting enough restful sleep is essential for good mental health, and massage can help to promote sleep by relaxing the mind and body.
Furthermore, massage can help to reduce physical symptoms that are often associated with anxiety and depression, such as muscle tension and headaches. By relieving these symptoms, massage can help to improve overall well-being and reduce the severity of anxiety and depression symptoms.
Overall, massage therapy can be an effective complementary treatment for anxiety and depression, and can help to support overall mental health and well-being.
Each massage from us is a combination of techniques determined by you and your therapist to meet your specific needs.
