Services
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage uses long strokes and kneading techniques to promote relaxation and improve circulation. This therapy reduces muscle tension and stress while enhancing joint mobility through stretching. Ideal for first-time clients seeking general wellness benefits, our therapists customize pressure levels to individual comfort preferences.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeting deeper muscle layers, this therapy addresses chronic pain and postural imbalances. Therapists use sustained pressure to release fascial restrictions and break down scar tissue. Recommended for clients with specific musculoskeletal concerns, it promotes long-term pain relief and improved mobility through focused myofascial techniques.
Pregnancy Massage
Specially adapted for expectant mothers, this massage reduces pregnancy-related discomforts. Therapists use side-lying positioning and gentle techniques to alleviate back pain, swelling, and stress. Sessions focus on enhancing circulation and preparing the body for labor while ensuring safety during the second and third trimesters.
Craniosacral Therapy
This gentle technique addresses craniosacral system imbalances through subtle manipulations. Therapists use light touch to release restrictions in the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the central nervous system. Beneficial for migraine relief, stress reduction, and neurological conditions, it promotes self-correction through non-invasive energy balancing.
Thai Massage
Combining acupressure and assisted yoga postures, this therapy improves flexibility and energy flow. Practitioners use their hands, knees, and feet to stretch and compress muscle tissue while stimulating energy lines. Sessions enhance range of motion and balance the body's energy systems through traditional Eastern healing techniques.

Did not go. They do sound like a good company on paper but you have to buy a package deal and right now that doesn't work for me.

Emily is amazing! She definitely knows what she is doing and focuses on areas that need more help. The environment and atmosphere is relaxing right when you walk in to Body Wisdom. I absolutely love all of the purple as well I will be returning and returning.

Body Wisdom is great! Everything from booking, the massage, to checkout. Very nice people. I got the BEST massage ever from Jen. She was clearly very knowledgeable and helped my painful areas feel so much better and my body in whole feel great and refreshed. I definitely won't be going anywhere else.

Amanda was amazing. She is very consistant with pressure for the swedish massage. Rythmic and what was very wonderful is she is quiet. Being a relaxation massage she only engaged when spoken to and to me this is very important and relaxing. The room was wonderfully warm and the music was perfect and reflective. I have had many massages and I was so impressed I booked the next four massages. The reception is very welcoming and the $10 price reduction benefit of booking same day for the next massage is very generous.
