Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of Swedish massage are wide-ranging while exceptional beneficial. A Swedish massage is excellent for increasing the oxygen level in the blood, releasing toxins from muscles, relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Personalized Ayurveda Treatments
Ayurveda is a natural healing system that strives to balance the body, mind and spirit.
It is a total system of life skills to promote good health.
Ayurvedic massages are deeply relaxing. These treatments bring nourishment to tissues, cells and each body system. Your individually planned massage is a true healing therapy. I use only handcrafted organic oils.
I offer Abhyanga (full body with herbal oil for your constitution) and Shirodhara (scalp massage with a stream of oil poured onto the forehead ). All treatments calm the nervous system, help to reduce stress and relieve body aches.
These treatments are most luxurious. Indulge yourself.....
Energy Work / Reiki
Reiki in Japanese means 'universal life energy'.
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force" and that the body needs to sustain its energy balance for optimum health.
Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force/energy is simply low and/or unbalanced. I will work with you to restore balance and flow to your entire system. These practices encourage the body to achieve stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing.
Once your energy has been balanced your entire body and mind will function better. Supporting a more joyfilled life.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are used on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a type of massage that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet, hands and head. Unlike other massages that intend to mostly relieve tension, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet, hands and head. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
YOGA - Somatic Movement
Somatic movement and yoga use a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. The conscious awareness of the alignment and movement of the body within space while standing, sitting, walking and at rest inevitably leads to a stronger connection between your mind and body. This knowledge enables us to create a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people and the world.
