Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels. The Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a two-step process, clearing, which releases lymphatic fluid in your tissues and reabsorption, which moves your lymphatic fluid to your lymph nodes.

Aromatherapy

The use of essential oils (extracted from herbs, flowers, resin, woods, and roots) in body and skin care treatments is known as aromatherapy. Used as a healing technique for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, essential oils aid in relaxation, improve circulation, and help the healing of wounds. Aromatherapy diffusers are utilized to fill the massage room with the scent of the oils. Specific essential oils are blended by the Therapist and added to a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, to be used during the massage. Each oil has its own unique characteristics and benefits. Your Therapist will talk with you about your needs in order to create the perfect blend. DoTERRA and Young Living Oils are used.

Custom Blend Aromatherapy

I use only the highest quality essential oils. Options include Rose & Geranium, Frankincense & Myrrh, Lavender & Eucalyptus. I can also create a custom blend upon request.

My massage oils are all organic blends.

Bhakti Massage

A Bhakti Massage can be classified as holistic, spiritual, intuitive, relaxing, and soothing. The word Bhakti is Sanskrit for Devotion to or Love of God/Goddess. A therapist trained in this massage modality combines the relaxing techniques of a typical Swedish massage with energy work. This allows the practitioner to deeply penetrate the muscle and facilitate the release of any holding patterns in the tissue on a physical, emotional, and mental level. In this way, it restores the well-being of the patient, improves vitality, and calms the spirit.

Deep Tissue Massage

Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These techniques require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.

Prenatal/Pregnancy Massage

Performed by a trained Prenatal specialist, many methods of massage and somatic therapies are both effective and safe prenatally and during labor and postpartum periods of women’s pregnancies. Prenatally, specific techniques can reduce pregnancy discomforts and concerns and enhance the physiological and emotional well-being of both mother and fetus. Skilled, appropriate touch facilitates labor, shortening labor times and easing pain and anxiety. In the postpartum period, specialized techniques rebalance structure, physiology, and emotions of the new mother and may help her to bond with and care for her infant.

Swedish Massage

This is one of the most common styles of massage. The focus is on longer, more fluid strokes. It is a very relaxing massage and typically involves less pressure.

Wood Therapy

This is a type of massage that uses various wooden tools to break down fat and cellulite. It does that by releasing bound fascia.This modality also promotes blood circulation and pairs well with Lymphatic Drainage.
