Restorative Massage

Restorative Massages vary from relaxation to deep tissue depending on the request of the client and are good for recovery after any type of workout. Our Massage Therapists will tailor your massage to your specific needs and concerns. You may choose to have a full body massage or focus intensely on a few key areas. This type of therapeutic massage can reduce stress, increase relaxation, reduce pain and muscular soreness and tension, improve circulation, energy, and alertness, and help decrease blood pressure and heart rate.

Spa Specialties

Cupping

Cupping can be used almost anywhere on the body to boost circulation and enhance tissue flexibility. Great for improving mobility and relieving pain, these cups are used to apply a gentle suction and create negative pressure on the skin. The massage therapist then moves the cups with the use of massage oils in gliding motions, causing the layers of connective tissue beneath to lift and separate from each other. Muscles and fascia are pulled and stretched, as well as being massaged, bringing relief to compressed tissue.

Facial Cupping

A 25-minute session using small glass or silicone cups on the face and neck to gently lift the tissue and stimulate blood flow, leaving skin looking tighter and brighter.

Himalayan Salt Stone

Himalayan salt has long been used for its profound wellness benefits for the body and soul. During a Himalayan salt massage, pink salt stones are heated to allow the minerals to absorb into the body, maximizing the salt’s many benefits, such as exfoliation and improved circulation. The benefits of massage therapy combined with the added benefits of the Himalayan salt stones create a deep sense of relaxation and well-being noticeable for weeks following the treatment.

Hot Stone Massage

A hot stone massage is a type of therapy that uses smooth, heated stones, usually made of basalt, to provide warmth and relax the muscles. During the treatment, the therapist uses the stones as an extension of their hands, applying gentle pressure and gliding the stones along your muscles; this combination of heat and pressure helps to ease muscle stiffness, improve circulation, and calm the mind.

Lomi Lomi

First of all, what does “lomi lomi” mean? In Hawaiian, ‘lomi lomi’ translates to ‘rub rub’ – and this is exactly what a lomi lomi massage involves. Using long, deep strokes, the massage therapist will use their hands and forearms to relax your muscles and promote blood circulation throughout your body.

Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage massage uses light pressure, without oils or creams, to support the lymphatic system and has been used to treat conditions like lymphedema and swelling from injury, pregnancy, and other conditions. Other benefits of lymphatic drainage massage include enhanced immune system function and relaxation and stress relief.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release therapy is a massage technique that focuses on relieving pain in your myofascial tissues. These are the thick connective tissues that support your muscles. Your therapist will use their hands, or other tools and techniques, to massage and stretch your myofascial tissue and eliminate knots. You may feel sore immediately following a myofascial massage, but the results often include an increased range of motion and less pain and stiffness.

Prenatal Massage

A prenatal massage is a full body massage performed by a certified prenatal massage therapist that is similar to a Swedish massage except for a few modifications with body positioning that can ensure the safety and comfort for both mother and baby. It aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. You can get a prenatal massage at any point in pregnancy, as long as you have your doctor or midwife’s approval.

Polarity

Polarity therapy utilizes pressure points, reflexology, joint mobilization and spinal work to help release pain, fatigue and stress that are related to imbalances found in our energetic and emotional system. This energy work is beneficial in facilitating and easing the release of unnecessary patterns, healing old wounds, and creating greater harmony and balance throughout the body.

Reflexology

Reflexology uses specific techniques of massage and manipulation of the hands or feet to stimulate the body’s natural healing responses and to promote a sense of general wellbeing. It is believed that there are specific reflex points in the hands and feet which correspond to all organs, glands, and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflex areas frees nerve blockages and improves blood circulation to leave you feeling physically relaxed and re-energized. Reflexology treatments also calm and relax the mind thereby reducing stress and anxiety.

Reiki

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Sports Massage

A sports massage is a great way to relieve your sore and aching muscles and improve your overall performance. Sports massage can be done before, during or after exercise. It can help prevent injury and help you recover from physical activity. What is involved in your sport massage depends on the training you are doing, and any problems you are dealing with.

Theragun

For an enhanced deep tissue or specialized massage, our Massage Therapists offer a Theragun add-ons to their treatments to relieve sore muscles, stress and tension while increasing blood flow and range of motion.
