Therapeutic Massage
For a massage to be truly therapeutic, it needs be relaxing and productive and customized to your specific needs.
Your transition to relaxation begins as soon as you arrive for your appointment. A quick stroll from the parking area through a lovely garden courtyard brings you to our door. Your therapist will personally welcome you into our private lobby, where you begin an experience devoted solely to you and your well-being.
You will be guided to one of our beautiful treatment rooms, each a carefully crafted space designed to help all your senses further relax with calm music, serene lighting, subtle aromatherapy, and comfortable furnishings. Your therapist will ask you about your goals, preferences, any areas of concern, and will ensure clarity of expectations for the service before stepping out and offering you privacy to prepare for your service.
Nestled under a warm blanket on a cushioned table with pillows for support as needed, your body can now join your mind and senses in relax mode. Proper draping for comfort and modesty is ensured throughout your service. Your therapist will expertly perform your customized service, adjusting in the moment as needed, and always honoring best practices and keeping your highest good in mind.
Styles & Techniques
In all our Therapeutic Massage sessions, lotion is applied directly to the skin with gliding strokes, kneading motions, friction, and/or tapotement and a steady, rhythmic flow of movement. Pressure varies depending on your needs and preference, and may be applied with fingers, hands, palms, forearms, or elbows. Hot stones or towels may be used to warm and soften tissues, and additional aromatherapy may be included to stimulate calm or aid in breathing. Some sessions may include active or passive stretching, joint range of motion, and stimulation of specific pressure or trigger points. Sessions can be full body or targeted to specific problem areas only.
