Massage customized for you, every appointment.
Services
Every session begins with an intake to determine how you are feeling and any areas or issues you would like addressed. Assessments may be performed to determine which muscles to work on and which techniques might be most effective. Based on the information presented in the intake and your history, together we’ll create your treatment plan. Your massage will be a little different every visit, because your body and mind will be a little different every visit. Your massage will always be as unique as you are.

Therapeutic Massage
Hot Stone Massage
The warmth of the heated basalt stones penetrates deeply into the muscle tissue, and the gentle weight of the stones produces a calming effect on the nervous system. The stones can also be used in a more dynamic way, to help calm down any muscles that feel particularly sore. Hot Stone Massage is incredibly therapeutic, and feels positively luxurious.
TMJ Massage
Do you experience jaw pain, possibly with related headaches, or difficulty chewing? The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) might be the source of your pain. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) can be caused by arthritis or jaw injury, or by the types of habits people can sometimes develop when they are feeling stress, like clenching or grinding the teeth. During a TMJ massage treatment, a therapist may work externally on muscles of the head, neck, and scalp. Other muscles involved in the function of the TMJ are accessed from inside the mouth. Massage therapists who work on these muscles have taken specialized training to learn how to work intraorally. Your therapist will wear gloves and use light pressure of a single finger or thumb to help relax these tiny yet important muscles.
