All Encompassing Tailored Massage
If I’ve learned anything from talking with my clients over the years, it’s that each day is different. Our mind, body and soul shift from day to day, sometimes moment to moment. It could be that achy shoulder that feels great but the day before the massage you injure it, or the weather suddenly changes and the body feels it, or life has just been extra stressful lately and you need to relax. Whatever the situation might be, I’m here for you to facilitate what you need to be a better version of yourself. While you are in my care, we will chat briefly prior to your session about what you need that day. All of my knowledge, intuition and awareness will be yours for the time you have reserved for yourself.
Offered in 30 mins, 60 mins, 90 mins, or 120 mins
Prenatal Massage
This prenatal massage aims to help momma feel relaxed and decrease stress. Studies have indicated that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, decrease symptoms of depression, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Massage is safe and very beneficial for mom and baby if done safely and correctly.
How does Prenatal Massage work?
My prenatal massage includes techniques that will relax the muscles and mind, encourage movement of trapped fluid, and relieve areas of tension in the neck, low back, hips and legs. With all the changes happening during pregnancy, a massage could be just what you need.
Prenatal massage focuses 110% on making mom feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. My massage table is wider than the average massage table, providing a solid and wide base to lay on. I offer a pregnancy pillow that is specifically made so that Mom can lay face down and not harm baby. I also offer side lying positions if that’s more comfortable.
My #1 goal is making momma comfortable, so if you have a personal reasonable requests to make this happen, please let me know! (scents, sounds, etc)
Cupping
Tension within our tissue inhibits exchange of healthy fluids, which starves the tissue of vital nutrients. With this ancient technique, I use suction on the skin, fascia and muscle to encourage movement for fresh, healthy, healing blood to enter the tissue. The heat provided by the increase in blood flow warms the tissue, and in turn, creates a "melting" and softening of the tissue. This allows for muscle and bone restrictions to ease, and delivers an overall sensation of relaxation and ease.
The negative pressure draws out stuck, old, dead blood cells and toxins from the tissue in the process of replacing it with healthy blood. With this process, there is potential for a "Cup Kiss" to be left on the skin. Although this appears to be a bruise, it is in fact old blood brought to the surface where it can be filtered by the lymphatic system. A bruise is caused by trauma to the tissue and rupturing of blood vessels. Because of the "cup kisses", it is important to drink lots of water after cupping treatments. By doing this, you’re assisting in flushing the system and healing the tissue.

IntraOral (buccal) Massage
This session focuses on the muscles of the head, neck and jaw. From the neck up, you will receive top tier TLC including massage of the scalp, face, neck, upper shoulders and upper chest. A gloved hand will access the jaw muscles inside the mouth for the most beneficial outcome.
I will apply light pressure to the muscles of the jaw, while also giving the inner cheek some gentle stretching and tissue work. Allow me to help ease pain and tension, as well as increase range of motion in a relaxing and comforting setting. If you suffer from jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction, restricted jaw movement, or just want some extra attention to this area, then this is the massage for you.

Infant/Child Massage
No matter what age, massage can be necessary and beneficial to our bodies. Children and infants experience discomfort from childbirth, growing and simple falls while figuring out how to use their bodies. Massage on children can encourage muscle growth, tone and awareness. These sessions are geared towards children from infancy to and beyond. Parents are encouraged to join these sessions.
