​
Therapeutic massage utilizes Swedish massage techniques along with trigger point therapy, deep tissue therapy and fascial release in varying depths of applied pressure to alleviate restrictions, pain and discomfort of the body's soft tissue and joints, to increase circulation and lymphatic flow.
​
We believe that all therapeutic treatments can be relaxing and all relaxing treatments are therapeutic.

Each cupping session incorporates static and dynamic vacuum cupping into a therapeutic massage treatment.
​
Cupping massage utilizes plastic and medical grade silicone vacuum cups to draw tissue, with varying amounts of suction, up and away from underlaying tissues.
​
This reverse pressure will help draw blood, oxygen and nutrients directly into that area while drawing stagnant circulation closer to the lymphatic system to more easily be cleaned out of the body.
​
The suction created, along with movement techniques, helps to break down adhesions and restrictions within tissue or between different layers of tissues.

Reiki Therapy

Reiki is a form of “energy medicine” that has been practiced for around 2500 years and aims to help the flow of Universal Energy or “chi” and to remove blocks in this energy, in a similar way to Traditional Chinese Acupuncture.
Improving the flow of energy in the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed the body’s natural healing processes and reduce other symptoms of illness and pain.
