Deep Tissue Massage
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 hydration and recovery.
Swedish Massage
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 Swedish Blend
Just like it sounds, the Deep Swedish Blend incorporates the best of both modalities, and can also include Cupping and Trigger Point Therapy and passive and active stretching.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is integrated into any Deep Tissue and Sports Massage treatment as needed.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
Chair Massage
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 or performed in my office. 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.
Cupping
Cupping can be integrated into Swedish, Deep Tissue and Sport Massage treatments as needed for no additional fee.
Traditional cupping has been around for over 5000 years and has been practiced the world over. Taoist, alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong (281-341 AD) is responsible for the earliest written use of cupping in his book, "A Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergencies". Early cupping techniques were performed using animal horns and fire!
Modern Massage Cupping is based on Western or Allopathic medicine and is used to help alleviate muscle pain, fascial and myofascial adhesions, to move lymph, reduce joint pain and to help increase collagen in targeted areas by tightening skin and to help with healing.
Facial Cupping
Facial Cupping stimulates collagen production which aids in lifting and plumping the skin, and aids in visual wrinkle reduction. Facial Cupping can also help to minimize pores, brighten skin and drain lymph congestion. The treatment process can also be incredibly relaxing!
