Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.

It was originally drawn from Gary Young's experience with Native American wellness traditions and provides a revolutionary means of nurturing harmony—physically, mentally, and emotionally to rejuvenate the mind and balance the body.
This Technique uses a total of 9 essential oils and one carrier oil. Each one of these oils has been chosen to serve a specific purpose in the massage. One of the primary benefits of this technique is to help the body to detox.

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalances the entire body without using any deep tissue techniques. It does this by stretching the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work, however it uses indirect release methods of light pressure and gentle strokes; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain and adhesions.
