Swedish Massage

After first warming the muscles, the massage therapist uses slow, deep strokes, along with other massage techniques, to release tension from deep muscle groups and help you feel taller, lighter and looser.

Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete health care system with a written history of 2,500 years. It can effectively treat acute and chronic conditions, including muscular, gastro-intestinal, gynecological and respiratory disorders. TCM can also be used in conjunction with modern Western medicine in order to enhance the effects of Western medical treatment or to alleviate the side effects of medications.

TCM includes the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and moxibustion. Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points that have been determined to have beneficial
effects. Chinese herbal medicines may be used internally or applied externally. Moxibustion is a form of "fire heat treatment" that stimulates specific acupuncture points of the body.

The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), established in 1982 as a non-profit organization currently operates under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. The mission of the NCCAOM is to establish, assess, and promote recognized standards of competence and safety in acupuncture and Oriental medicine for the protection and benefit of the public.

Raindrop Therapy
Raindrop was developed by D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils. Nine essential oils are used in raindrop: 7 single oils and 2 therapeutic blends. The oils are gently massaged in the feet and on the back. The treatment is deeply relaxing and allows for the benefits of essential oils of oregano, thyme, basil, cypress, wintergreen, marjoram, and peppermint to be absorbed into the body.

Massage for Pregnant Women and New Mothers
Prenatal massage caters to the special needs of pregnant mothers. Specific techniques can reduce discomforts and concerns, and also enhance the physiological and emotional well-being of both mother and baby. Tailor-made cushions are used so that the mother-to-be can lie on her stomach comfortably through most of her pregnancy. In the postpartum period, specialized techniques rebalance a new mother’s emotions and body, helping her take better care of herself and bond with her baby more deeply. We also offer private lessons to fathers or birth coaches in massaging birthing mothers during labor.

Seated Massage
Chair massage can be done at our location or yours, with a special massage chair. These massages focus mostly on the neck, shoulders, arms and the back while you remain fully clothed.
