THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
Therapeutic massage is a focused, personalized approach to bodywork that supports your body’s natural ability to heal. It goes beyond simple relaxation to address areas of pain, tension, or limited mobility—but can also be deeply soothing when rest and stress relief are what your body needs most.
Each session is tailored specifically to you. After a thoughtful intake and discussion, your massage may include techniques like deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching, or gentle Swedish-style strokes. Pressure and focus areas are adjusted based on how you’re feeling that day, making every session unique and effective.
Therapeutic massage can:
-
Relieve chronic pain and muscle tightness
-
Support injury recovery and rehabilitation
-
Improve mobility, circulation, and posture
-
Ease stress, anxiety, and emotional tension

PRENATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massage is a gentle, supportive form of bodywork designed specifically for the unique needs of pregnancy. It helps ease the physical and emotional changes that come with each trimester, offering a safe space for rest, relief, and connection with your growing body and baby.
Using side-lying positioning and supportive cushions, sessions are tailored to ensure your comfort and safety while addressing the common discomforts of pregnancy—such as lower back pain, hip tension, swollen feet, and fatigue.

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a therapeutic technique that focuses on applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet—areas that correspond to different organs and systems of the body. Rooted in the belief that these reflex points are connected to your overall health, reflexology promotes balance, relaxation, and natural healing throughout the body.
Sessions are deeply calming, while also working to stimulate circulation, release tension, and support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Whether you're dealing with stress, chronic discomfort, or simply seeking to feel more grounded and aligned, reflexology offers a non-invasive, holistic way to support your well-being.
Benefits of Reflexology may include:
-
Reduced stress and anxiety
-
Improved circulation and energy flow

Relief from headaches, tension, and fatigue
-
Enhanced digestion and hormonal balance

Overall sense of grounding and wellness
Reflexology is a beautiful way to reconnect with your body and bring it back into balance—one step at a time.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle, rhythmic therapy designed to stimulate the lymphatic system—your body’s natural detox and immune support network. Using light, flowing strokes and soft pressure, this technique encourages the movement of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling, clear congestion, and support your body’s natural healing processes.
While it's especially helpful for those recovering from illness, surgery, or injury, lymphatic massage can benefit anyone. Whether you're feeling sluggish, experiencing water retention, or simply want to support your immune system and overall wellness, this deeply soothing treatment helps your body feel lighter, clearer, and more balanced.
Benefits may include:
-
Reduced swelling and puffiness
-
Improved circulation and detoxification
-
Boosted immune function
-
Relief from sinus pressure or congestion
-
