Descriptions of Massage Therapy
Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of specific essential oils to stimulate neuro-receptors, eliciting a healing response. In an aromatherapy session, a specific blend is designed for you and applied to your skin. You are then wrapped in flannel while the oils are allowed to permeate the skin as you repose in stillness. This restorative therapy produces a feeling of serenity.

LaStone Therapy

Experience LaStone Therapy for a completely relaxing massage. This powerful technique incorporates the use of hot and cool stones, creating an enhanced sense of balance, relaxation and relief to painful muscles. Muscles liquefy under the heat of the basalt stones, contrasting with the cool temperatures of the marble stones. Mind and body connect as you float in and out of different levels of awareness.

By using the stones in combination with traditional massage techniques, we are able to work at deeper levels than in a regular massage.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is characterized by long strokes, kneading and friction techniques which enhance vascular circulation and facilitate the release of toxins. It is the technique upon which most other styles of massage therapy are based.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy focuses on tender points on the body, usually found in tight bands of muscle, that radiate pain to other areas of the body. Deep, sustained pressure is used to release the affected areas.
