Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing art used to increase blood flow and kick-start the body's natural healing response. It involves the use of concentrated suction to draw layers of muscle and connective tissue away from the body, creating a luxurious stretch similar to myofascial release. Our practitioners are trained to incorporate both stationary and sliding cupping for a unique and effective bodywork experience.

Deep Tissue Massage

Is a soft tissue massage not enough? Our deep tissue or sports massage includes deeper pressure, a wide range of stretches, and massage to the target muscles. It's perfect for those who need to get to the bottom of deeper tensions.

Neck, Shoulder & Back Massage

Treat yourself to a full 30 minutes of attention to those terrible sore spots! Specify the areas of concern and have them focused on for the entire massage.

Prenatal Massage

Extremely beneficial for a Mommy-to-Be or brand-new Mom! This type of massage is special attention just for your specific needs. Most pregnant women can safely receive massage during all stages of pregnancy, but it's always best to check with your doctor beforehand.

Reflexology

This massage focuses on pressure points in the hands and feet, which correspond to all the organs in the body. It's a therapeutic and relaxing experience for the entire body.

Relaxation Massage

Our relaxation massage includes gliding, kneading, tapping, and stretching techniques, all designed to return blood and oxygen to the heart by improving circulation and relieving tension. It's perfect for everyone looking to unwind and rejuvenate.
