Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is best used to relieve pain from old injuries and increase mobility. Using deep tissue techniques (which does not always mean deep pressure), we are able to loosen restrictions in muscles and fascia. The work is in the deeper tissues and there may be some discomfort at the time of massage. After the session you will experience pain relief and increased mobility. I tend to use a mix of myofascial release, Tui Na (Chinese massage), and Thai massage techniques modified for the table based on what I feel the tissue needs most. It is best for the client to choose one or two focus areas when choosing a deep tissue massage.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage (also known as Swedish massage) is one of the most well known types of massage. Oil or lotion is used with long, flowing strokes to put you in a state of “rest and digest.” It increases circulation, helps rid your body of cellular waste, lowers blood pressure, increases digestion, and more. This massage is wonderful for those who want a full body massage that leaves you feeling balanced and rejuvenated.

Thai Massage
Thai massage is an ancient healing art form that is often referred to as the "lazy person's yoga.” You relax into the mat and do nothing while the practitioner moves you through stretches to improve range of motion. The use of deep compression techniques release tension and stagnation in your muscles. Stretches are done within your comfort level, making it suitable for all levels of flexibility. Because of the slow, rhythmic nature of this type of massage, it is best to book a 90 minute or two hour session. 60 minute sessions are great for spot treatments and specific pain relief.
