Services
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular therapy addresses chronic pain through targeted soft tissue manipulation. This technique balances nervous system function while releasing trigger points causing referred pain. Sessions focus on improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and restoring proper muscle function through precise pressure application.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage therapy uses gentle wave-like movements to stimulate fluid circulation. This light-touch technique reduces swelling, accelerates post-surgical healing, and enhances immune function by promoting toxin elimination through the lymphatic system.
Prenatal Massage
Specially adapted prenatal massage addresses pregnancy-related discomforts. This therapy reduces swelling, alleviates back pain, and improves circulation for expectant mothers while promoting relaxation and emotional well-being through safe, position-appropriate techniques.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release targets connective tissue restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. Using sustained pressure, this technique restores fascial elasticity, improves posture alignment, and relieves chronic tension patterns throughout the body's interconnected tissue network.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage combines kneading, rolling, and tapping techniques to promote general relaxation. This foundational therapy improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and enhances overall well-being through rhythmic, full-body strokes using therapeutic oils.

Report
I am so greatfull to Janice for taking care of me over the years. I had been to many massage therapists before her, and most would "work it out" by applying tremendous pressure. When you have to learn to breath through the pain with these people you think that is how it has to be. NOT SO- Janice knows how to apply just the correct pressure to get the job done, and I do not wince from pain. I usually wait to long to go see her, and am always amazed that I am walking tall when I leave. You will not find a better therapist out there for both your body and your mind. Thank You Janice!
