Our Customized Massage Therapy sessions are a blend of many of the modalities mentioned below. Our therapists will determine which modalities are best for you on any particular session. This may change from session to session. Keeping communication open with your therapist is an important part of getting the most out of your sessions.
Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage
As one of the most well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five types of strokes are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibration, percussive and tapping movements, with the application of lotion or oil, to reduce friction on the skin.
Some of the many benefits of Swedish massage include general relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
Deep Tissue adds more focused strokes including forearms and elbows. Swedish techniques are performed to warm and loosen the tissue before deeper strokes are added. For a broad area, such as the back, at least 30 minutes is devoted to that one area to get a more effective release of muscle tightness.

Myofascial Release
Myofascial release consists of very slow strokes to the connective tissue (fascia) throughout the body.
When fascia becomes tight in certain areas of the body. In addition, due to tightness to the fascia, bones or joints may even move out of alignment causing tension around nerves and discomfort.
The benefits of Myofascial Release include more freedom in movement as well as a better-aligned body which can help reduce aches and pains.
Myofascial release is generally performed in conjunction with Swedish and Deep Tissue therapies.

Thai Massage
Known as Nuad Bo’Rarn, Thai massage is the manual component of traditional Thai medicine. It is considered to be a meditative practice in which the practitioner uses stretching, palm and thumb pressing, and yoga poses to create
a therapeutic effect for the client. During the treatment, the practitioner focuses on energy lines known as sens, which can lead to shifts of energy and change within the client’s body. Thai massage is usually performed on the floor, and the client wears comfortable clothes that allow for movement.

Warm Stones Massage
By adding heated volcanic stones to our Customized Bodywork Sessions, the connective tissue and muscles are able to release even more adhesions, allowing knots to loosen and muscular pain to diminish. Stones are placed on specific areas of the body and are used during the strokes along your musculature. You will feel very relaxed and loose after a Warm Stones Session. A great time to take a nap or simply rest in the sanctuary of your home.

Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Prenatal Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
