Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that takes into account the mind, body and spirit through the use of pure essential oils of plants. Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin. Inhaling the aroma also allows the body to absorb the oil's essence through the lungs. From there the essence is disbursed through the blood stream benefiting the central nervous system and endocrine system which regulates hormonal balance. On the physical level, essential oils can be antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal which aid in supporting your immune system. At the same time, the aromas themselves work on your emotional and spiritual bodies providing harmony and balance to your being. Aromatherapy may be used as part of your primary massage session.

General
Relaxation
massage
is the classic form of Swedish massage that most people are familiar with. It
incorporates long, flowing strokes that achieves a deeply relaxing state of
consciousness while flushing and rejuvenating muscle tissue with fresh
oxygenated blood. Available in 2 hour, 1 1/2 hour and 1 hour session
lengths. 
Deep Tissue
is massage geared to enhancing peak athletic performance. For this
therapy, we combine the tools of myotherapy, with deep trigger point work, active
release techniques, myofacial release techniques, scar tissue removal and
proprioceptive stretching to help eliminate the by-products of exercise from muscle
tissue. While this therapy may seem to be geared to athletes, we have
found great results with these techniques on non-athletic clients who want a more invigorating session.
Available in 1 1/2 hour and 1 hour session lengths. 
Neuromuscular
Release is a gentle, non-invasive modality for relief of chronic or acute
pain due to injury, stress,
repetitive strain, postural distortion, and chronic neuromuscular conditions..
The client can choose to wear loose, comfortable clothing or be unclothed.
Combining the different techniques of the muscle energy technique
PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), strain/counterstrain,
positional therapy, myotherapy and trigger point technique, the therapy
passively releases tight, constricted muscles, allowing them to reset to their
neutral state thereby restoring range of motion and relieving pain. The results
are often dramatic and long lasting. Some conditions that often respond to
Neuromuscular Release include headaches/migraines, back and neck pain, carpal
tunnel syndrome, limited range of motion of joints, sports injuries, thoracic
outlet syndrome, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and tendonitis. Available in 1 hour and
1/2 hour session lengths.
