Couples Massage and Hydrotherapy

Experience the pleasure of a one hour massage and one hour of hydrotherapy and relaxation. While I am working on one client, the other person is soaking in the jacuzzi tub, sitting in the herbal steam cabinet (personalized herbs for each individual's constitution) or relaxing on a comfortable futon. Then, after an hour, each client switches places. Treat yourself, and your loved one or friend, to two hours each of pure bliss.

Deep Tissue

Various techniques are used to penetrate to the deeper tissue structure of the muscles. Ideal if you have found that other massages have only scratched the surface. Usually combined with Swedish massage. You choose the specific areas that need deep tissue work.

Sports

The goal is to rid the muscles of lactic acid, alleviate muscle pain, shorten injury recovery time and, ultimately, enhance your performance. A combination of compression, stretching, cross fiber friction, trigger point and deep tissue work will be tailored to each athlete's expectations and goals. This is not a full body massage so that specific areas can be focused on. However, it can be combined with the Swedish massage.

Reflexology for the feet

An ancient cousin to acupuncture, this chinese-based treatment uses a combination of pressure and massage on specific areas of the foot to release toxins, blockages, and balance energy in corresponding areas of the body. This treatment begins with a cleansing foot soak in a blend of sea salts and essential oils. Then your body's own healing powers are activated with a soothing, yet invigorating, foot massage.

Thai

Nuad Bo 'Rarn - Ancient or sacred techniques handed down from generation to generation.

This ancient Asian bodywork utilizes pressure points, yogic stretches and rhythmic manipulation to balance the body's energy. A rhythmic rocking motion and compression along the body's sen lines are used to restore energy, calm the mind and relieve tension. As has been the custom for over 2500 years, this bodywork is performed on a mat on the floor over loose clothing.

Recommended for those who prefer a firm massage and don't mind being stretched, pulled and twisted. You will feel relaxed yet energized afterwards.

Full body Thai massage lasts approximately 2 hours/ $150

an abreviated one hour session / $80

Thai therapeutic bodywork, including herbal steams, herbal and essential oil lotions and hot herbal compresses tailored to your particular constitution are also offered.

Hot Stone Massage

The ancient healing of the hot stone massage has been used for thousands of years worldwide by healers, the Tibetan monks and the Native American Indians to name a few. Hot stones are placed in specific areas, allowing the radiating heat to penetrate deep tissue layers and muscles. At the same time, another hot stone is used to gently massage another part of the body using Swedish based techniques.

One hour treatment / $90.
