My specialized treatments
Treatments explained:
Deep tissue massage/ Heavy Pressure ~ targeted & intense
Targets chronic muscle tension and knots by accessing deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. This style is slow, deliberate and uses advanced techniques to and sustained pressure to release chronic tension and break down adhesions to restore functional movement. Ideal for clients who prefer firm results driven work, or those with persistent problems that are looking for "that good pain" to find relief and improvement.
Rapid therapy - A neuromuscular reset
RAPID NFR works by combining targeted pressure with specific movements. You actively move, while the therapist works with accurate pointed pressure. Because your muscles, nerves and brain are constantly communicating, when you get injured, overuse a muscle, or develop poor movement habits, that communication can get confused. This can cause tightness, pain, and limited movement. RAPID helps reset how the brain communicates with your body, and is like rebooting a glitchy system to everything runs smoothly again. It can be intense at times when the therapist is working directly on problem areas, but many people feel noticeable improvement in movement and pain reduction almost immediately. RAPID helps your body 'relearn' to move and feel better by mixing miscommunication between your brain and your moving tissue.
Jade Stone Massage
A luxurious treatment incorporating smooth, temperature controlled jade stones to enhance therapeutic results. The stones are placed in areas or drawn across the body to promote a strong amount of circulation ( approx 7 times stronger than hands) in turn reducing inflammation and easing muscle tension. The natural properties of jade offer a grounding, soothing experience that deeply relaxes both the body and the mind.
Pairs well with deep tissue and relaxation styles.
Lymphatic Drainage ** COMING SOON
A gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and support the body's natural detoxification processes. Using light, precise movements, this treatment encourages the movement of lymph fluid, helping reduce swelling, improve immune function, and promote healing, Ideal in post surgery situations for inflammation or for clients seeking a subtle yet powerful internal reset.
Pairs well with Tuning Forks
Red Light Therapy** COMING SOON
Swedish relaxation massage
A classic calming full-body massage using light to moderate pressure to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and relieve superficial muscle tension. This treatment uses long flowing strokes to promote relaxation and circulation. It is designed to quiet the nervous system, reduce stress leave the body feeling light and relaxed to support overall well being. Well paired with sound therapy and tuning forks.
Prenatal massage
A gentle and safe massage tailored to the needs of expectant mothers, helping to alleviate discomfort and reduce stress during pregnancy. Particularly aimed at low back and hip discomfort during pregnancy. No Pregnancy Pillow available at this time, this is a side Lying appointment.
Tuning Fork Therapy ** COMING SOON
Tuning forks give a fine vibration to deliver consistent, therapeutic frequencies directly into the body's tissues. The gentle mechanical vibrations travel through soft tissue and influence both the nervous system and local circulation. The subtle vibration can stimulate mechanoreceptors in the skin and fascia, and then encourage a shift toward the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting relaxation, decreased muscle guarding, and improved overall tissue responsiveness. Vibratory stimulus may also assist local blood flow and microcirculation, reduced perceived tension and sensitivity in target areas. Vibration supports gentle neuromuscular re-education without forceful pressure.
Because frequencies are precise and consistent, the body can respond in a more organized and efficient way compared to irregular manual stimulation alone. Clients typically experience a light, soothing calm yet subtly activation feeling making this an effective addition to both therapeutic or relaxation treatments or an entire stand alone treatment.
Graston Therapy ** COMING SOON
A specialized treatment using stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of soft tissue restriction and scar tissue. This technique allows for precise, targeted work to break down adhesions, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery from injury. Often used in rehabilitation and chronic pain, limited range of motion and soft tissue dysfunction.

about red light therapy applied packs coming soon
*$15.00 add to cost
Heat Therapy
Application of warm packs to specific areas to relax muscles, increase blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the tissue to alleviate discomfort.
Cold Therapy
Application of cold packs reduces inflammation, numb sore areas, drives blood deeper into the tissue and can aid in acute injury recovery, or diminish stagnant flow areas.
Inclusive Tools
Some times tissues are found to be very locked into chronic tension, guarding, highly sensitive, in acute injury or significantly inflamed making it useful to incorporate tools, or temperatures to approach areas with assistance. I prefer to utilize these options when areas deem it helpful to both the client and myself. There is no additional cost when heat, cold, or tools are included at moments of the therapist discretion.
