Services
Relaxation Massage
This full-body treatment uses light to medium pressure to relieve stress and promote mental tranquility. Ideal for general wellness, it improves circulation while reducing muscle tension through long, flowing strokes. Clients benefit from a calming experience that lowers cortisol levels and enhances overall well-being through therapeutic touch.
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeting chronic muscle tension and pain, this technique employs deeper pressure on specific problem areas. Therapists work through layers of muscle and connective tissue to alleviate persistent discomfort from injuries or overuse. The treatment improves mobility and accelerates recovery while maintaining client comfort through adjustable pressure levels.
Hot Stone Massage
Combining traditional massage with heated basalt stones, this service melts away muscle tightness using therapeutic heat. The stones' warmth increases blood flow and relaxes tissues, making it particularly effective for stress-related tension and circulation issues. Clients experience profound relaxation as heat penetrates deep into muscle layers.
Prenatal Massage
Specifically designed for second and third trimester needs, this treatment addresses pregnancy-related discomforts using specialized positioning. Therapists alleviate back pain, swelling, and joint stress while promoting circulation for both mother and baby. The service supports emotional well-being through stress reduction during pregnancy.
Craniosacral Therapy
This gentle, hands-on approach focuses on the central nervous system's fluids and membranes. Therapists use light touch to release restrictions in the craniosacral system, addressing headaches, TMJ issues, and chronic pain. The non-invasive technique promotes self-correction of neurological imbalances and enhances overall body function.

Booked massages while on vacation and I can honestly say we both felt that we had one of the best massages we've had. Michael and Elise were both great. The facility is super clean and everyone was friendly. I'm just sad we don't live closer!

The experience was so so. We found the receptionist to be a bit curt. Although my masseuse was sweet and the massage was okay, we were asked to leave the waiting area and sit in our car for our third party to finish. There was nobody in the waiting area, and nobody even went in after us. Being asked to leave the building and wait in the car was the weirdest part. Especially because we were wearing masks (per their own requirements)

I came in last week for a sports massage for a back injury and what a wonderful experience I had! They were super helpful on the phone getting me scheduled as a new client, and check in was very smooth and COVID friendly. The massage itself was wonderful and I am feeling back to normal! Overall, a really great experience!
