Complementary and alternative medicine are the terms for modalities that are not part of standard medical care and are not substitutes for medical advice or treatment from a qualified physician.

Services

Treatment times are of full duration instead of shortened “spa” hours or time limits placed by insurance companies on OT/PT visits.

Please leave all jewelry and other valuable items at home. Please remove necklaces and earrings for lymphatic work, as the neck, décolleté, and ears need to be accessible for this type of massage.

Please hydrate well prior your session, after the session, and on the following day, as this will help hydrate fascia, improve energy levels, and support the liver and kidneys in flushing out toxins. Please avoid caffeine and large meals before any session.

Massage

Clients disrobe to their level of comfort for massage sessions — clothing may be left on, underwear may be left on, or swimwear or athletic wear can be worn. Clients are covered with a sheet during the session and a blanket as needed. Privacy is always maintained.

Back and Foot Massage
30 Minutes — $50

This massage offers a quick way to relax and reset. A soothing back massage utilizes modalities such as myofascial release and Swedish strokes for a smooth, gentle treatment which helps to relieve muscular tension, increase circulation, reduce stress, and release tightness and pain in the myofascial tissues. Sessions close with modified Thai foot massage. Please hydrate well prior to your session.

Back and Foot Massage, with Foot Reflexology
60 Minutes — $85
90 Minutes — $105

These sessions blend back and foot massage with reflexology for holistic healing and are customized to your individual needs. This massage utilizes modalities such as myofascial release and Swedish strokes for a smooth, gentle treatment which helps to relieve muscular tension, increase circulation, reduce stress, and release tightness and pain in the myofascial tissues. A full foot reflexology protocol is then used to target any symptoms and support and increase the function of all body systems for greater optimal health. Reflexology should never be painful, and pressure is adjusted to your needs. Sessions close with modified Thai foot massage. Please hydrate well prior to your session.

Coming Soon! Abhyanga Massage
60 Minutes — $85

Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic massage using warm, herb-infused lotion to deeply nourish the skin, soothe the nervous system, and balance energy, often referred to as “loving hands” therapy. It is an ancient, rhythmic, and intentional self-care practice designed to enhance circulation and promote deep relaxation.

Lymphatic Drainage

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing in order to feel relaxed. Reflexology should never be painful, and pressure is adjusted to your needs.

Manual Lymph Drainage Massage
Upper Body, 30 Minutes — $50
Full Body, 60 Minutes — $85

MLD focuses on the lymphatic system — in the area between the skin and muscle. I utilize the Vodder technique and am certified through Klose Training. MLD involves a very light touch that should never be painful. MLD is effective for lipedema, lymphedema, preop, postop and cancer clients, for detoxing and general health, and is useful in healing from cosmetic surgery. Please hydrate well prior to your session.

This reflexology protocol stimulates reflex points in a unique sequence which aids the function of the lymphatic system. This method assists with lymphedema and lipedema. Unlike foot massage, reflexology does not knead muscles or use oils or lotions — firm but gentle pressure is applied directly onto the reflex points of the feet. Sessions are customized to your individual needs and close with modified Thai foot massage. Reflexology should never be painful, and pressure is adjusted to your comfort.

Lymphatic Taping
For those clients requiring it, lymphatic taping targets the dermis and superficial fascia to lift the skin in order to reduce swelling and inflammation. Taping improves circulation, including lymphatic flow, and enhances the body’s natural healing processes. I use Kinesio Tex Light Touch tape, which is gentle for all skin types (it is latex free and hypoallergenic).

Reflexology

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing in order to feel relaxed. Reflexology should never be painful, and pressure is adjusted to your needs.

Reflexology stimulates areas in the feet to increase the function of all body systems for greater optimal health.
