A soothing and relaxing massage. Depending on your preference, you may receive deep or light pressure.

Prenatal

With a specially designed  massage cushion, we pay attention to the unique needs of the expectant woman. We use soothing hands for those aches in the feet, low back, hips and almost everywhere else. Suitable for low risk pregnancy without a doctor’s referral. If you are a High Risk pregnancy, please provide a release from your OB.

Deep Tissue

Deep Tissue targets tendons and ligaments, scar tissue, and the release of specific adhesions. It often “hurts so good!”
