Are you feeling the stress of the holiday season? Whether it's work, family, or other obligations, stress tends to accumulate in our muscles, leaving us feeling tired and sore. It can be difficult to find time to really care for our minds and bodies but total wellness is important to overall health and our professional massage therapists are here to help! Read on to learn more about a variety of massage treatments to help you relax and destress going into 2020.

Aveda Aroma Massages. Through a thorough consultation with one of our professional massage therapists, a personalized combination of Aveda aromas are used along with massage therapies and warm Mother Earth pillows for a totally relaxing and pampering experience!

Swedish. Swedish therapy is one of the most common types of massage therapy and for good reason! This style of massage releases muscle tension through soft, kneading movements, rhythmic tapping strokes, and joint movements, leaving you feeling relaxed and reenergized!

Deep Tissue. While the Swedish massage focuses on more superficial layers of the muscles, this style targets deeper in the muscles and soft tissues. Your massage therapist will use direct pressure to relax the outermost muscle tissue before working their way deeper, helping alleviate chronic aches and pain.

Specialty Massages

Pregnancy Massage. Women's bodies go through a tremendous change throughout pregnancy and this specialty massage helps ease many symptoms that accompany those changes. Customized techniques increase energy, improve circulation, and reduce joint stress from pregnancy weight from 12-weeks of gestation on for those without a high-risk pregnancy.

Tandem Massage. Enjoy the ultimate relaxation experience as two massage therapists work in tandem, blending massage techniques in rhythmic synchronicity. Tandem massages can be experienced in the Lomi Lomi or traditional Hawaiian style, too!

Lastone Thermotherapy. Heated, oiled stones are used with the Swedish technique to massage deeply into muscles and tissues while cooled marble stones revitalize and improve circulation. Lastone Thermotherapy is a massage experience unlike any other!
