Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Also available:$60/30 minutes; $110/90 minutes

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing chronic neck/back pain, headaches, migraines, anxiety, learning/behavioral disorders/digestive problems, speech and swallowing difficulties, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and emotional trauma/depression  (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.

*CST can be incorporated into any massage session or can be done as a session on its own. Discuss what would be best for you with Alix.

 

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness  may occur after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule. Offered in 5-minute increments up to 30 minutes. A wonderful option for office holiday parties, wedding parties, or any stressful time of year!

Essential oils are mixed with a carrier oil (jojoba oil is used in my practice) to enhance the massage experience. Different oils offer different benefits to the body, and we will decide together which oil(s) to use for your personalized session.

Given its name because the practitioner uses a hollow waxed cloth candle, this home remedy assists in the removal of earwax and may improve the following conditions: sinus problems, sore throats, allergies, headaches, hearing difficulty, and swimmer's ear. Surprisingly a very relaxing therapy!

A modified version of Cupping Therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The benefits of Cupping are: draining of excess fluid and toxins, loosening of adhesions and lifting of connective tissue, releasing "knots", stimulating the peripheral nervous system. Wonderful for fibromyalgia, anxiety, insomnia, post-injury trauma, and chronic pain. Generally I incorporate cupping into the massage session as an add on service.
