Massage Therapy

The pressure and technique will vary depending on the individual, but the goal is resolution of the issue.

It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff neck, back and shoulders, TMJ, Sciatica, Tendonitis, and other overuse injuries. The treatment can be uncomfortable, so communicate with your therapist during the treatment and to report any lasting discomfort post-treatment.

Stress relief/relaxation treatments and pre/post natal massages are all classified as Therapeutic massage. Just don't choose Therapeutic Deep!


Craniosacral Therapy

The Craniosacral system is made up of the cranium (skull), the spinal cord, and the sacrum (tailbone), and the membrane that envelops the brain and the spinal cord (the dura). It is a hydraulic system, with the bones of the skull expanding and contracting to maintain a consistent flow of cerebrospinal fluid and to prevent pressure from building within the system.

The Craniosacral system is made up of the cranium (skull), the spinal cord, and the sacrum (tailbone), and the membrane that envelops the brain and the spinal cord (the dura). It is a hydraulic system, with the bones of the skull expanding and contracting to maintain a consistent flow of cerebrospinal fluid and to prevent pressure from building within the system. Since this system influences the development and functioning of the brain and spinal cord, an imbalance or restriction in it could cause various sensory, motor or neurological disabilities.

This very gentle osteopathic technique involves mobilization of the cranial bones, the dural membrane, as well as the deep layers of myofascial connective tissue of the body where restrictions are held. The therapist uses a very light touch which allows the body to self-correct and restore balance thereby relieving pain and increasing mobility. It is a very effective treatment for headaches/migraines as well as long standing pain syndromes.


Lymph Drainage Therapy

The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymph nodes and vessels that carry and remove lymph fluids throughout the body. Lymph nodes filter bacteria and foreign matter from the bloodstream, which is why they are sometimes called the "garbage collectors" of the body. Movement of the lymph fluid is essential to prevent swelling in the extremities leading to Lymphedema or to improve immunit... Read More

The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymph nodes and vessels that carry and remove lymph fluids throughout the body. Lymph nodes filter bacteria and foreign matter from the bloodstream, which is why they are sometimes called the "garbage collectors" of the body.

Movement of the lymph fluid is essential to prevent swelling in the extremities leading to Lymphedema or to improve immunity and remove toxins from the body naturally. Lymphatic Drainage Therapy helps the lymph system perform its usual function. It is beneficial for both healthy individuals and persons with a compromised lymphatics system.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is not a massage treatment but, is a gentle and rhythmic technique. It is often the only technique a palliative patient can tolerate as it is also very analgesic. Most people experience lymphatic drainage therapy as deeply relaxing and even rejuvenating. Despite the light technique it is very effective in its intentions to awaken the lymphatic system and create pathways for the lymph fluid to flow and be removed from the body naturally.

Reflexology aims to improve your health by reducing tension and increasing circulation, by applying pressure on specific reflex points to stimulate the corresponding organs or glands to promote the natural function of the r...

Ayurveda is a timeless ancient healing system that originated alongside yoga in India about 5000 years ago. It is a holistic, individualized, and preventative medicine, re-attuning us to nature’s rhythms and wisdom. Ayurveda aims to minimize today’s stressors, such as anxiety, grief, depression, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, digestive and sleep issues, by moving a person into a natural state of balance and harmony. Ayurveda focuses on healthy digestion, routine, and self-care through the implementation of healthy lifestyle habits, proper diet, strong digestion, restful sleep, regular exercise and stress management as ways to maintain energetic balance, prevent disease, preserve vibrant health and promote longevity. Each individual is unique and thus needs a personalized diet, movement, bodywork and herbal formulas based on their individual constitution, current state of balance/imbalance, and climate/season. By adopting an ayurvedic lifestyle, you will be equipped with invaluable self-knowledge into your own body and how your external environment affects your internal environment and vice versa.
