Swedish Massage

The goal of Swedish style massage is to acknowledge the full body, and calm the nervous system. Great for relieving stress and quieting anxiety, as well as encouraging blood and energy flow around the body.


Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue is a focused modality with the aim of addressing stuck areas, and working to unwind and unstick those blockages.


Cupping

The Cupping modality uses silicone, plastic, or glass cups to create suction against the skin. This helps to separate layers of muscle and fascial tissue, and bring sediments or waste closer to the surface of the skin for washing away in the blood stream. It typically creates red, purple, or brown marks that can take several days to fade. Cups are generally a great addition to the goals of a De... Read More

Table Thai

The focus of this modality is deep compression and deep stretching. While traditional Thai massage is performed on a floor mat, with the client clothed, on the table we have the opportunity to incorporate deep tissue elements as well. The client has the option to be clothed or not, as we have the benefit of the drapes for coverage.


Tuina

Another name for Chinese Medical Massage, "Tui na" translates to "push grasp," a description of the modality's main techniques of kneading muscle tissue. The aim of Tuina, is to free blockages in the body by addressing the energetic channels. Similar to acupressure, Tuina does use point work, but also steps back to broader pressures, via techniques such as: kneading, rubbing, beating, jostling,... Read More

Sports Massage

Sports massage is great for when you are training for an event or sport. Not intended to change the body's structure in any large way like Deep Tissue, Sports massage aims to manage the body and keep it running smoothly while training. It seeks to iron out cramped muscles, and in general keep blood and energy flowing throughout the body.


Low Income Option

It is important for me to make the benefits of massage therapy accessible to as many humans as possible. I would prefer to help for a lower rate, than to have anyone struggling with their body because of financial struggle as well.


Top Surgery Balancing

For our friends in the LGBTQ community, this offering serves to help open any stuck tissue in the chest, and side body post recovery from Top Surgery. By focusing in this region, we can increase range of motion in the arms, and address scar tissue.


Biodynamic Craniosacral

Deep listening. The goals of this modality are to strengthen and magnify the body's inherent abilities to heal itself. Through holds, and deep quiet, we seek to amplify those moments of homeostasis and regeneration.
