Services
Massage Therapy
Customized massage sessions tailored to individual needs, combining multiple techniques for optimal pain relief and stress reduction. Our therapists use hands-on manipulation of soft tissues to improve circulation, alleviate muscle tension, and promote deep relaxation. Ideal for addressing chronic pain, postural imbalances, and general wellness maintenance through personalized treatment plans.
Tuina Therapy
Traditional Chinese Medicine-based therapy using acupressure and hand techniques to clear energy blockages and restore qi flow. This modality targets specific meridians to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve joint mobility through rhythmic compressions and stretching movements. Particularly effective for musculoskeletal conditions and internal organ imbalances when combined with other TCM practices.
Thai Massage
Floor-based session incorporating yoga-like stretches and acupressure along energy lines called Sen. Practiced fully clothed with no oils, this dynamic therapy improves flexibility, releases muscle tension, and balances energy flow through assisted stretching and rhythmic pressure. Enhances physical vitality while promoting mental clarity through its meditative movement patterns.
Prenatal Massage
Specialized oil massage designed for expectant mothers, offering side-lying positioning alternatives to traditional face-down positions. Targets pregnancy-related discomforts like edema, back pain, and circulatory issues through gentle yet effective techniques. Promotes relaxation and prepares the body for labor while maintaining safety and comfort throughout all trimesters.
Cupping Therapy
Ancient technique using silicone cups to create suction that lifts fascia and improves circulation. Releases deep tissue tension, removes metabolic waste, and reduces inflammation by creating negative pressure on specific trigger points. Leaves visible temporary marks indicating toxin release while providing immediate relief from chronic muscle tightness and restricted movement.

I had a session with Kaitlyn today and I was completely blown away. I have never felt such a release of tension before. She really paid attention to the tight spots in my body and even found some i was unaware of. Of all the massages I've had this one is most beneficial. I feel like she actually worked to relieve and reset my aches rather just a typical massage where they give you a nice back rub. Thank you Kaitlyn will recommend everyone i know to come see you!

I highly recommend somasense and Stef. I have been going to Stef for 25years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. She is phenomenal at deep tissue and even after this many years she did a new style similar to a shiatsu massage and it was magnificent. My shoulders and hips fee more aligned now than ever. Thanks Stef. See you next week and every week for as long as I can.

Sergey is the best! I have a lot of issues with lower back/hip and Sergey is a magician when it comes to releasing tension in problem areas and always customizes massage to your needs. He really knows what he is doing. Highly recommend!
