Swedish Massage

This is the classic therapeutic massage and the basis for most other massages. The main focus is to facilitate general relaxation. A variety of techniques including long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping and vibration are used on the more superficial layers of muscles. It is beneficial in promoting improved circulation, enhancing mental clarity, support to the nervous system, reducing stress and relieving muscle tension, aiding greater flexibility. Receiving massage regularly will foster a maintained sense of wellbeing.

Deep Tissue Massage

This massage concentrates on specific areas you need worked on. The main focus is to release chronic restrictions and pain from deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue also known as facia. Two techniques used to achieve these goals are Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy. The benefits are increased flexibility and range of motion, increased circulation and the release of muscle tension and pain.  Receiving consecutive treatments can ensure a lasting change.

Reflexology

Today's Reflexology is based upon Physiotherapist Eunice D. Ingram's map of foot reflexes. These reflex points correspond to all the organs and systems of the body. A deep state of relaxation, facilitating the balancing of all the bodies' functions results from applying specific pressures to the reflex points. Reflexology also promotes improved circulation and detoxification via its stimulation to the nervous system and other energy systems such as acupuncture meridians. It is beneficial in managing stress induced and chronic conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, headaches/migraines, pms/menopause and other fertility issues, lower back pain, arthritis, digestive and circulatory issues and more.

Prenatal & Postnatal Massage

Childbearing comes with many accelerated changes to a women's body  physically, hormonally and emotionally. Massage during and after pregnancy is beneficial in facilitating stress reduction, pain relief, increased circulation, reduced swelling and improved sleep. It also promotes shorter and less painful labor, restoration of your pre-pregnancy shape and less postpartum depression. Receiving regular massage throughout pregnancy and postpartum recovery can ensure greater support for the nurturing of both mother and child.
