Services
Swedish Massage
This foundational technique uses long strokes and kneading to improve circulation while promoting deep relaxation. Ideal for stress relief, it addresses muscle tension through rhythmic movements that warm soft tissues. Clients benefit from enhanced flexibility and reduced mental fatigue in our tranquil environment with optional hot tub access.
Deep Tissue Therapy
Targeting deeper muscle layers, this therapy releases chronic tension through focused pressure. Slow strokes break up adhesions causing pain, particularly effective for posture-related issues. Sessions incorporate postural analysis to address root causes, with many clients reporting lasting relief from conditions like fibromyalgia after consistent treatment.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Specialized pressure application alleviates trigger points causing referred pain. This science-based approach identifies muscular imbalances contributing to headaches, sciatica, and joint discomfort. Therapists use precise finger pressure to reset muscle memory, often providing immediate relief for acute pain patterns identified during initial assessments.
Myofascial Release
Gentle sustained pressure dissolves fascial restrictions limiting mobility. This technique addresses scar tissue and chronic inflammation through slow, deliberate movements that restore tissue elasticity. Clients recovering from injuries often experience improved range of motion and reduced pain levels after integrating this therapy into their treatment plans.
Reflexology
Foot and hand pressure points stimulate corresponding body systems through nerve pathways. This non-invasive technique promotes organ function and stress reduction by targeting specific reflex areas. Sessions often complement other therapies, enhancing overall wellness through improved circulation and nervous system regulation.

Diane is thorough and effective at relieving whole body tension and pain. She provides a relaxing environment and her cats are an added bonus! There are also chickens in the back

Diane is a very talented and professional masseuse. I came in, as a first-time client, after a back injury, with a lot of soreness. After discussing my pain issues with her, she did her magic, working my muscles right where it was needed. She regularly checked with me to make sure the pressure wasn't too much. I was a bit concerned that the soreness would get worse, but instead my sore back feels the best it's felt in a week and the rest of me is relaxed. She is definitely one of the best massagers I have ever gone to. Highly recommended.

Went to see Diane yesterday as a first-time client and will be back! I had the deep tissue massage and it was amazing. I was in quite a bit of discomfort from overdoing it on a hike and after this massage, I felt fantastic! A wonderful environment and very relaxing, thanks Diane!
