Services may include:

Traditional & Swedish Massage

Swedish and traditional massage techniques to promote increased circulation and immune function; relief from muscular spasms and pain; relaxation; ease from headaches, back and neck pain; increased injury recovery time; and injury prevention.

yoga massage

Thai yoga massage, done on the massage table, incorporates rhythmic motion, acupressure, and gentle, yoga-like stretching—creating a slow, flowing ‘dance’. It balances the body’s energy flow while relieving muscular tension, calming the mind, and boosting the immune system. One of its unique guiding principles is that of ‘metta’—the Buddhist practice of loving kindness.   

Zen of body work

The Trager Approach is called the ‘zen of bodywork’. It uses gentle rocking motion, supporting the joints and weight of the body, to distill unhealthy tension patterns in the body and mind. The logo for Trager is a Chinese character that means ‘dancing cloud’ because of the lightness and joy one feels after a session! The Trager Approach has been reported to ease a wide range of conditions including:

• limited movement

• back pain

• depression

• sports and other injuries

• carpal tunnel syndrome

• back and neck pain

• everyday aches and pains

• muscle spasms

• headaches

• physical/emotional trauma

• cerebral palsy

• Parkinson’s disease

• fibromyalgia
