Massage Descriptions:
Swedish Massage consists mainly of long strokes over oiled skin, working on the outer layers of muscle tissue to reduce stress and soothe sore joints and muscles. This type of massage relaxes the nervous system, aids circulation and helps with detoxification.
Deep Tissue Massage targets your muscles, tendons and ligaments while striving to release tension in overstressed areas. The many benefits of this massage include the alleviation of minor aches and pain, reduced body stiffness, decreased anxiety, and restful sleep.
Holistic Massage is a form of health therapy using traditional massage techniques aimed at treating the whole person; physical, energetic and emotional, not just part or parts of the body in which symptoms occur. This massage strives to create harmony and wholeness by restoring the balance between the inner self and the environment and re-establishing the flow of energy to the body. Each person is unique and therefore each treatment is suited to the needs of the "whole person."
Prenatal Massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes leading up to childbirth. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue. Touch is vital to the mother's physical and emotional well-being as she adapts to her new body image, and it nurtures the new life that grows within her. Pregnant women may lie on their sides or on their bellies. We have a specifically designed pillow which makes it possible to be face down in comfort. For the side-lying position, body pillows are especially effective. Prenatal massage relieves:
Sciatic nerve pain
Muscles and joints
Headaches
Leg cramping and swelling
Stress and anxiety
Constipation, gas and heartburn
Reflexology foot treatments have been customary in China for thousands of years. The long historic Chinese medical culture has proven that feet have thousands of nerve endings and acupuncture points which access the entire body. Healthy feet will lead to a happy life. Foot reflexology is a method of stimulating reflex points of the feet that relaxes and rejuvenates each and every part of the body, including the glands and organs. Massaging the pressure points in the feet passes through the nerve network to boost the immune system, improving the mental and physical body.
* Reflexology sessions are 60 and 90 minutes only.
