Swedish Massage
Ideal Swedish Massage Candidates:
Nearly everyone who wants to relax, become re-acquainted with the whole of their body from head-to-toe, and possibly have a nap.
Swedish Massage Overview:
Swedish Massage is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oil and lotion with an array of strokes with common results of circulation and lymphatic function improvement. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, and greater flexibility. Swedish massage can be incorporated with slow stretches to improve flexibility and mobility of joints. It can also be utilized in focused areas and is especially helpful on the abdomen to assist in digestive discomfort and on the sinuses to improve drainage. This type of massage is great for nearly everyone, and has been highly effective for previous clients with PTSD, Trisomy-23, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. In addition, sometimes we just want to be touched kindly, so if that's your need, Swedish is for you!

Deep Tissue Massage
Ideal Deep Tissue Candidates:
Bodyworkers, Medical Professionals, Athletes, PE Teachers, Personal Trainers, Contractors, Linemen, and others with occupational or hobby associated repetitive motions, heavy lifting, or intense physical activity.
Deep Tissue Massage Overview:
Deep Tissue techniques aim to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is critical to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. You may also be asked to participate in more active stretches or movements in order to best access deeper layers of tissue which need attention. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that some individuals may experience bruising or petechiae.

Pregnancy Massage overview:
Pregnancy Massage (Prenatal Massage for expecting mothers or Postnatal Massage for new mothers post-partum) is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women and women who have recently given birth. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy or lingering effects postpartum. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation. This type of massage requires special protocols, such as extra propping and blankets, as well as avoiding certain areas of the hands, wrists, abdomen, ankles, and feet, in order to avoid blood flow issues and initiating preterm labor. As such, if you are currently pregnant, you will only be considered for a Prenatal massage.

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?:
The practice involves lots of stillness and silence, with the therapist using very minimal and elongated hand contact 'holds' in specific areas of the body. The goal is to feel for then allow your cerebral spinal fluid to guide your body through healing. This technique is done on a massage table, fully clothed, covered and propped comfortably. The space is very calm, without music or other external distractions. Your therapist would compare the experience of this technique to relaxing into 'The Force' within a person, and facilitating a caring and safe place for the client's body and mind to feel encouraged in healing themselves naturally. It's a really great opportunity to go within yourself and grow, with someone nearby who is there with no other purpose than to support you without any discrimination or judgment.
"Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle non-invasive, hands-on session for the whole body. Performed on a massage table, the client is fully clothed and the practitioner touch is light and still. The session focus is to support the inherent health of the whole being, especially the nervous system (NS). The NS dictates all of the body’s functioning, constantly sending and receiving information.
BCST practitioners understand how an optimally functioning healthy nervous system performs. We are trained for years on how to use acute perception skills to perceive subtle physiological changes. We also are aware of the energetic map that underlies one‘s basic health and symptomology. We believe that health is never lost no matter what the ailment. We use our ability to identify the parts of the nervous system that are not functioning optimally and our awareness of the “always available health” in the body to assist the system in bringing itself back into balance. This supports greater ease and helps the body decrease symptoms."
