RELAXATION MASSAGE
STRESS has become a normal part of life, easily caused by: lots of pressure either from home and/or work; stress caused by life changes or situations; worries or overwhelming responsibilities. Managing your stress can make an immense difference to your health, that’s where RELAXATION MASSAGE comes in. It focuses on providing a soothing and calming experience for both the body and mind. During a relaxation massage session, gentle techniques and flowing stokes are used to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and induce a sense of tranquility to help reduce stress, alleviate muscle tension, and enhance overall well-being.
CUPPING MASSAGE
Cupping is an alternative technique in which instead of applying pressure to the muscles, designed cups are used to create suction on the skin. The cups are applied to specific areas of the body, creating a vacuum-like effect that draws the skin and underlying tissues upward. This gentle pulling action helps increase blood flow, loosen tight muscles, and release fascial restrictions. The marks that may appear on the skin after a cupping massage are a normal and temporary side effect of the treatment and typically fade within a few days. Cupping can be highly effective in reducing muscle pain, scars and rigid tissues. This treatment is combined with Deep Tissue Massage.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massage is specifically designed to address the unique needs of expectant mothers. This gentle and nurturing form of massage provides relaxation and relief during pregnancy. This treatment involves accommodations with special cushioning systems made to allow you lie on your side during the massage depending on your growing belly. Regular prenatal massages can help alleviate joint pain, neck and back pain, reduce stress, swelling, anxiety and overall muscle tension.
*Not recommended during the first trimester.
HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic treatment that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. During the session, the heated stones are held in the therapist’s hand to apply gently pressure and soothing strokes on areas of the body. The warmth from the heated stones helps to relax muscles, ease tension, reduce pain and stress and improve circulation. Allow the warmth of the stones to melt away tension, promote deep relaxation, and restore balance to your mind and body. Experience the therapeutic benefits of this ancient practice and emerge feeling revitalized and renewed.
