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 post massage soreness can be possible after the treatment. Plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that are released from the deep tissue during the session.
Due to the time it takes to properly ready the tissue for therapeutically deeper work, a 60 minute session will be spent on the specific areas of the body that need it. A 90 or 120 minute session is long enough to receive a full body massage and localized therapeutic deep work.
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.
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body known as meridian lines, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind, and spirit. A traditional shiatsu session is performed with the client remaining fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing, on a cushioned mat on the floor.
Chair massage is a popular and convenient way of relieving stress and releasing tension. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic portable chair. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, chair massage is done over the clothing and therefore more accessible to public events and or more convenient to fit into your busy schedule. Chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it possible to work with multiple clients in less time. For only the cost of a dollar a minute, with session lengths of 15, 20 or 30 minutes long its convenient, efficient and affordable.

Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. It's also called Thai Yoga massage, because I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. Clients say Thai massage is like doing yoga without doing any of the work. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed during the session. A single Thai massage session will help you release stress and relieve pain, and help you function more effectively at work and home. A Thai massage session takes at least 90 minutes. Most Thai sessions are done in 2 hours for a complete session.
