Services
Craniosacral Therapy
This gentle, fully-clothed treatment uses light touch to release tension in the nervous system. Clients experience relief from chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions. Our therapists employ Upledger Institute-certified techniques to improve joint mobility and alleviate symptoms of old injuries through subtle cranial adjustments.
Massage Therapy
Customized sessions using organic jojoba oil address individual needs through varied pressure techniques. Treatments range from relaxing to deep-tissue work, targeting muscle tension and improving circulation. Our therapists adapt methods to each client's comfort level, promoting relaxation while addressing specific physical complaints.
Foot Reflexology
Targeted pressure on 7,800 foot nerve endings promotes whole-body relaxation and improved sleep. This therapy addresses physical discomfort through nerve stimulation patterns. Our certified practitioners use Kripalu-trained techniques to relieve stress and enhance nervous system function through focused foot and lower leg treatment.

Masterful. Effective. I was in town for an event and was suffering from terrible insomnia and a sore foot. After one session with Chris, I slept 11 hours and my foot felt pain-free. I went back the second day just to experience more of this powerful modality. I had vivid memories of a hip injury I had not thought about for 25 years. I feel like he released its effects from my body. This is good stuff. Highly recommend if you are on a healing path.

Seriously one of the best experiences I've ever had (and I've had a lot of massage). Chris was incredible, and I had just had back surgery in October. My back and legs (some nerves were inflamed in my legs) have not felt this good in over a year. THANK YOU!

I got in for a last minute massage because of neck spasms I was experiencing. Chris took his time listening to my symptoms and we discussed the type of massage that would best address my concerns. Chris' massage helped ease my muscles which were in a state of emergency into a place of calm. He finished the session with craniosacral work and I fell asleep I was so relaxed at that point. Massage Vermont has it all- calming environment (the SOFTEST massage table!) and professional bodyworkers who really care about your wellbeing. Highly recommended!

I have been getting massages for well over 20 years for a variety of reasons. I have to say, hands down this was one of the best experiences and massages I have ever had. Sheryl was professional, empathic, and skillful. I highly recommend without reservation.
