Services
Deep Tissue Massage
Our deep tissue massage targets chronic muscle tension through slow, deliberate strokes and focused pressure on deeper muscle layers. This technique helps break up scar tissue and relieve persistent aches in areas like shoulders, neck, and back. Therapists combine myofascial release and trigger point therapy to address specific pain points while maintaining client comfort throughout the session.
Prenatal Massage
Specially adapted for expectant mothers, our prenatal massage uses side-lying positioning and specialized pillows to ensure comfort and safety during all trimesters. This service addresses common pregnancy discomforts like lower back pain, swollen ankles, and circulation issues while promoting relaxation through gentle, nurturing touch techniques tailored to each stage of pregnancy.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy focuses on releasing tight muscle knots that cause referred pain through precise pressure application and sustained compression. Our therapists use orthopedic assessments to identify pain sources, combining myofascial release and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to improve muscle-nervous system communication and provide lasting relief from chronic tension patterns.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot stone therapy uses heated basalt stones placed strategically on the body to relax muscles and enhance circulation before targeted massage work. The stones' consistent warmth allows deeper tissue access while maintaining client comfort, making this treatment particularly effective for stress relief and muscle tension release in a relaxing, spa-like experience.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy creates gentle suction using glass or silicone cups to lift and separate muscle tissue, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation. Our therapists use both traditional and modern techniques to address specific areas of concern or provide full-body treatment, often combining cupping with regular massage for enhanced pain relief and muscle relaxation.

You must avoid kristi at all costs. She is a toxic human and has no care for others. You will be much better served by anyone else besides her. I highly recommend you stay away from her. Far from healing, she needlessly causes more pain and suffering with those she encounters.

I had an excellent 90-minute massage with Jessie. I'd had a headache for several days from neck pain and tense shoulders, and I woke up this morning, and my headache is gone! I highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Great massage today by Jessie. Really loosened up my shoulders. Have been to Kendra too and others in the past. Never had a bad massage. Nice facility. Very clean and well maintained with good equipment.
