Acupressure | 60 Min. Session - $70
Dating back 5000 years, acupressure is part of traditional Chinese medicine and is often described as "acupuncture without the needles."As a non-intrusive precursor of acupuncture, acupressure uses deep finger pressure applied at certain points located along an invisible system of energy channels within the body called meridians. Because these points directly relate to organs and glands of the body, constrictions in the flow of energy at these points causes disease and discomfort. Acupressure stimulates these points to remove blockages, to increase the energy flow, to reduce stress, and to promote health and harmony in the body.

Craniosacral Therapy | 40 Min. Session - $50
Within the craniosacral system is the cerebrospinal fluid that moves in a slight but perceptible tide-like manner. Craniosacral therapists assist in facilitating change in areas of restriction where this tide-like motion is limited, confined, and immobilized. By using a gentle light touch, this fluid becomes more rhythmic and balanced, and the central nervous system is restored. Craniosacral therapy is helpful to those with nervous disorders,motor-coordination impairments, attention deficit disorders, insomnia, and other problems. Craniosacral therapy was originally developed in the early 1900's byan osteopath named William G. Sutherland and later refined and promoted by Dr. John Upledger.

Deep Tissue Massage | 60 Min. Session - $70
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuseson the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. The term "deep tissue” is often misused to identify a massage that is performed with sustained deeppressure. Deep tissue massage is a separate category of massage therapy, used to treat particular musculoskeletal disorders and complaints and employs a dedicated set of techniques and strokes to achieve a measure of relief. It should not be confused with "deep pressure” massage, which is one that is performed with sustained strong, occasionally intense pressure throughout an entire full-body session. Deep tissue massage is applied to both the superficial and deep layers of muscles, fascia, and other structures.

Myofascial Release Therapy | 60 Min. Session - $70
All muscles, arteries, bones, organs, etc. are held together by a Saran wrap kind of tissue called fascia. Developed in the late 1960's by John Barnes, Myofascial Release works by the manipulation of the fascia that connects and surrounds muscles. Because the fascia is body-wide, a tension or trauma in one part of the body can affect another part. The fascia responds to the trained touch to release the adverse effects of inflammation, tensions and trauma.

Swedish Massage | 60 Min. Session - $60
Swedish massage is now known as "traditional" massage.

Swedish massage includes long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and shaking motions. It is effective for most ailments, because massaging the skin, the body's largest organ, setsup a chain reaction that produces a positive effect on all layers and systems of the body. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, and promoteshealth and wellbeing. Swedish massage is now known as "traditional" massage.
