SWEDISH (TRADITIONAL) MASSAGE
This classical European massage technique conmbines three basic strokes to the skin: long firm strokes, kneading strokes, and small circles.  A gentle but firm manipulation of the muscle tissue that melt away the pain of stress and tension, leaving you very calm and relaxed.

SKIN RENEWING MASSAGE
Essential oils enhanced with vitamins and minerals is stroked deep in to the skin to help combat the damaging effects of sun, water, chemicals and age, leaving you with well nourished skin and feeling very pampered.  This is an excellent massage for anyone with health issues that prevent a more vigorous massage.

PRENATAL & POSTNATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massage has the same goals of regular massage but is tailored to the specific needs of pregnant women with their changing bodies.  A pregnant womans body is challenged, changed and stressed in many ways and massage gives special attention to the mother-to-be, which in turn nurtures the new life that grows within her.  Careful positioning for support and comfort is required as well as a massage therapist who has been trained to adjust techniques accordingly.
Postnatal massage is focused on the fact that new moms are just plain tired.  The aim of the massage is to give nurturing support and help alleviate the muscle strain of labor and childbirth.

HEADACHE RELIEF MASSAGE
The use of massage therapy can relax and stretch  muscles that are involved in many headaches.  It can relieve tight muscles, improve range of motion, and alter pain sensations.  It can also increase circulation to muscles that have reduced local circulation.  Massage during a tension headache should be smooth and easy with very controlled pressure, slow release, stretching, and end with heat applied to relieve over-work pain.  With regular treatment that nagging head pain may just become an unpleasant memory.

ISSUE FOCUSED (MEDICAL) MASSAGE
This is a result oriented treatment that is specifically directed to resolve conditions that have been diagnosed by a physician or chriopractor.  The therapist may use a variety of modalities or procedures that will focus only on the areas of the body related to the diagnosis.

CHEMO-COMFORT MASSAGE
People recovering from cancer need to be touched with calm, confident, and loving hands.  Gentle bodywork can help modify or alleviate fatigue and nausea thus helping the person to complete their treatment.  Gentle Swedish Massage or Theraputic Touch is usually the recomended course.  Always ask the treating oncologist before scheduling a massage.

ELDER CARE MASSAGE
The techniques used in this type of massage must keep in mind that an aging body and skin require a little extra tender loving care.  Trained massage therapist are aware that an elderly body must be very carefully positioned and once positioned, a senior will rarely be asked to move as is typical in other types of massage.  More time is spent on the hands and feet to promote healthy circulation, especially if the client isn't very mobile.  Careful massage can help provide the elderly with symptomatic relief and enable seniors to extend the vitality in their lives.  Many seniors are uncomfortable with disrobing so this massage can be done in loose comfortable clothing.  Lotion is used on the forearms, hands, lower legs, ankles and feet.  A typical senior massage includes head, neck and shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet.  The back may be added if the person is comfortable removing shirt.  This type of massage can be done in a bed, recliner or wheelchair.

SOUND / VIBRATION THERAPY - BIOSONIC TUNING FORKS
Vibration is an energy-based non-invasive treatment that is similar to acupuncture.  Precision calibrated tuning forks are applied to specific acupressure points to access the bodys meridian and chakra energy systems. The tuning forks rich resonant vibrations connects with and supports the bodys natural frequencies.  The sound waves of the forks travel deep in to the body along energy pathways, affecting human physiology and reaching places not easily accessed by traditional therapies.  Applying the forks stimulates and balances the bodys physical and subtle energy field to promote healing and inner harmony.  Listening to the forks speaks to us deeply by connecting with our vestibular system, within the inner ear canal, accessing our sense of motion, balance, space, memory and healing.  Please call or email to find if this fits for your issues.
