Services
Therapeutic Massage
Targeting chronic or acute pain through customized techniques, this service addresses muscle tension, injuries, and stress-related discomfort. Therapists adapt pressure and methods to individual needs, promoting mobility and reducing inflammation. Ideal for clients seeking long-term symptom management and physical recovery.
Prenatal Massage
Specially designed for expectant mothers, this service alleviates pregnancy-related discomforts like back pain and swelling. Using side-lying positioning and gentle pressure, it improves circulation and reduces stress hormones. Sessions are tailored to each trimester's unique requirements for maternal well-being.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
This gentle rhythmic technique stimulates fluid movement in the lymphatic system, reducing swelling and enhancing immune function. Particularly beneficial post-surgery or for chronic conditions like lymphedema, it requires specialized training to optimize detoxification and tissue regeneration processes.
CBD Add-On
Integrating CBD-infused lotion into massage sessions, this service targets inflammation, nerve pain, and anxiety without psychoactive effects. The topical application allows localized relief while maintaining compliance with legal THC regulations, enhancing traditional massage benefits through cannabinoid properties.
Acupuncture
Offered three days weekly by a licensed practitioner, acupuncture addresses pain management, digestive issues, and emotional wellness through strategic needle placement. Based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, it restores energy flow and stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms for systemic improvement.

Would you like to feel so relaxed that your hair looks better AFTER your massage than before? Because I have the solution for you: Heather. I scheduled an hour massage with Heather (from a gift card) and I've had massages for years so I had a general expectation. We did the meet and greet, I filled out paper work. She asked what I needed and since I live in my body every day - I don't always have the beat on what's off.
It's just. how I am. Do I have pain? Or is this just how my shoulders feel? She starts and almost immediately offers a suggestion: she could rush through a few things and get to the whole body (as I had requested) or she could work on my back to get things where they need to be. Reader, I am telling you: it was the best massage I've ever had. So I went back, this time for 90 minutes so she could still focus on problem areas but also have enough time to get to everything and it was sublime.
There are no other words. I sleep the best sleep of my life after a massage from Heather. I feel so blissed out and "right". She is a boss and a master at her craft. Don't take my word for it: try for yourself. You will not regret it.

Tammy is a talented massage therapist, also a genuine and wonderful person. Her massage has the perfect combination of therapeutic and relaxation components to it. She spent extra time on the area that needed attention. I felt light and relax afterwards. Will definitely be back.
