Relaxation, Tension Relief and Balance

My Services

  • Ideal for relaxation and stress relief, Swedish massage combines long, flowing strokes with gentle kneading to improve circulation, ease tension, and enhance well-being.

  • Deep tissue massage targets deep muscle layers to relieve chronic pain, stiffness, and tension.

  • Sports massage uses stretching, compression, and targeted techniques to boost performance, prevent injury, and speed recovery.

  • Specially tailored for expectant mothers, prenatal massage provides gentle relief from the physical discomforts of pregnancy.

  • Targeting specific areas of muscle tightness (trigger points), this therapy helps relieve referred pain and chronic discomfort.

  • Aromatherapy massage blends soothing touch with essential oils to relax, uplift, and restore well-being.

  • This gentle, rhythmic massage supports lymph flow, reduces swelling, detoxifies, and boosts immunity.

  • Shiatsu, a Japanese massage rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, uses rhythmic pressure along energy meridians to restore balance, relieve tension, and promote deep relaxation.

  • Vedic Thai Bodywork blends Thai massage, yoga, and Ayurveda to enhance flexibility, release tension, and restore balance. Using rhythmic compressions, gentle rocking, and passive stretches, this meditative practice promotes alignment, relaxation, and energy flow.

  • Cupping therapy uses suction to boost circulation, release tension, and support detoxification. By lifting the tissue, it relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation. Ideal for chronic pain, stress, and recovery, it may leave temporary marks as a sign of healing.

  • Also known as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (ASTM), is a technique used to relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and break up adhesions in the fascia—a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs.
