Lomi Lomi
Lomi Lomi is the Hawaiian word for "massage", and it is part of a larger native Hawaiian tradition of healing and natural body care. According to Hawaiian tradition, all living beings are seeking a state of balance and love in the world. During a Lomi Lomi session, therefore, I focus on not only relaxing your body through gentle touch and deep work, but also reviving your spirit and filling your body with the energy of love.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are "painted" 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. Swedish and Lomi Lomi techniques are incorporated with this therapy service.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy of Pure Grade A Essential oils would be used throughout the massage. I tend to incorporate Swedish and deep tissue work with this service. Please see Swedish and deep tissue for more specific details.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It is usually given with a lighter pressure to provide circulation throughout the body. 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
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. Please be aware ahead of time that deep tissue aims to relieve tension, in doing so, the work is slow and can be concentrated to specific sections of the body per session.
Myofascial Massage
Myofascial massage is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial massage differs from other types of massage in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level. While other forms of massage can overlook the fascia, myofascial massage focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Chair Massage
Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.
Corporate Massage
Let's boost productivity at the work place. No matter what the duties are of employees, deadlines, presentations, meetings and big projects can cause backache, neck and shoulders to stiffen up. Corporate massage can be tailored to each employee through clothes and provide a safe and relaxing environment for both client and therapist. Massages are primarily on the shorter side (15 minutes sessions) per client to provide enough relaxation, creativity and innovative thinking to continue through their work day.
Just the paws (Hands & Feet)
Just have time for hands and feet! No problem. I offer a service for just hands and feet. Our hands and feet work hard everyday and don't get enough love. I provide a 30 or 60 minute service for just your hands and feet or if you just want hands OR feet, then we can definitely do that too.
