We offer a few types of customized massages so that you can get the type of massage that you want and need. To make it easy to pick what you are looking for we have added what can actually be achieved during your Therapeutic pain relief session.
Daydream Massage
Also known as the Anti-Anxiety/ Anti-Stress Massage Session.
This Massage is pure relaxation, flow and restoration for your nerves and anxiety. This massage is not the "fixy" or medical kind of session but is purely and divinely relaxing and well needed if your brain is overflowing and too much detailed massage is just TOO MUCH. So if you are looking for pain relief please book a Therapeutic Massage.
And before you think relaxation is just a luxury, know that this style massage is like a balm for your overworked brain and all over body tension. Your body knows how to heal itself, and easing the nervous system is a great first step.
Massage reduces adrenaline in your system which is the hormone responsible for your racing thoughts. More racing thoughts equal a body filled with tension. A body filled with tension equals more pain which causes more anxiety and stress. It is a constant loop that can be stopped with this light to medium pressure massage geared towards overall body restoration.
What makes our anti-anxiety, stress relieving session different from every other massage place?
- Soothing hot towels for your feet and back.
- Soothing Touch Calming Massage Cream with powerful, relaxing qualities of lavender, valerian, kava kava and St. John's Wort make this healing cream wonderful for relieving stress and tension.
- Calming head and scalp massage to help reduce your tension headaches.
- Relaxing warmed eye pack to reduce eye tension.
Don't like scents? Just let us know when you come in for your massage and we can use unscented lotion.
For extra relief, add on a guided mediation or CBD oil. guided meditation helps with letting go your day or anything else that is bothering you and causing anxiety. CBD oil enhances your feelings of relaxation and ease. Our CBD does not contain THC and will not make you feel high. Nor is it detectable in your blood stream.

Your customized massage session is created for you at the time of your appointment based on your needs.We work with the body with different modalities to give you the highest quality session. We do not believe in "massage routines" that treat everyone the same. Nor do we believe in making you choose Swedish Massage or Deep Tissue. Your body is different than anyone else's, so why treat it that way?
Chronic pain causes extreme damaging stress and can drain your energy. Don't let these issues take a toll on you anymore.
Your session can include the use of various massage therapy modalities such as:
Cupping- Depending on your pain issues stationary vacuum cupping or medicupping can be used. How can it help you?
- Decrease or relieve pain and inflammation from injury or chronic conditions.
- Relieve deep muscular issues and reduces muscle spasms.
- Release and soften scar tissue and loosen post-surgery adhesions.
- Lift and stretch soft tissue to separate fascia and restrictions.
- Increase range of movement and flexibility in joints.
- Promote healthy circulation and open the energy flow of the body.
- Move stagnation and enable normal lymphatic flow.
Medical Massage- Addressing a specific injury or area of pain.
Please call if you have an issue you would like to discuss and to see if massage can be helpful for you. If you have a doctors or physical therapist referral please call first so that we can make sure that we can have the proper paperwork ready for you at your appointment time. Although we do not take insurance we are happy to email you a receipt with the proper coding and tax information so that you can be reimbursed.
Deep Tissue- For the tighter areas that need extra attention. Deep work does not have to painful. Extra care is taken to insure your comfort.
Neuromuscular Therapy-To release the trigger points that can form due to postural and overuse issues.
Muscle Energy Techniques-Active participation from the client may be required to help improve musculoskeletal function and improve pain.
Positional Release-A non-invasive and comfortable way to ease trigger points and stubborn tight muscles.
Abdominal Massage- Light abdominal work that can help with digestion issues or that 'knot in your gut' sensation that is triggered by stress. Abdominal work is not for everyone. We can talk about your symptoms and medical history and see if this treatment is a good option for you. Please mention that you are interested in abdominal massage at the time of your appointment.
Hot Stones- Warmed stones are sometimes used to loosen deeper layers of tissue, and get the body ready for deeper work.
Cold Marble- Cooled marble can reduce inflammation in different areas of the body. These are great for reducing allergy and sinus issues.
Hot Towels- They just feel great! Plus they add relaxing finish to any massage session.
What can massage do for me?
- It will reduce your feelings of stress, anxiety and depression and promote relaxation and may help decrease feelings of anger.
- Massage increases the hormone levels of dopamine and serotonin which are your "Happy and Feel Good" hormones.
- It will help to ease your insomnia, chronic fatigue and pain.
- Eases your neck, shoulder and upper back tension. These can be the cause of chronic headaches.
- Increases your range of motion in your chronically tightened joints.
- Releases adhesions, scar tissue and nerve compressions you may have from chronic tense and tightened muscles caused by stress.
- Decreases your cortisol levels that inhibit your immune system from functioning properly. Massage will strengthen your immune system by increasing white blood cell count.
- Relief of muscular tension, soreness and fatigue as well as reducing other aches and pains.
- Abdominal massage can help with the 'knot in your gut' feeling that stress and anxiety can cause. It can also help relieve constipation, muscle spasms and tone underlying muscles. Heartburn is a common symptom of stress related disorders and may be caused by trigger points in the abdominal muscles.

This session is medical massage focused solely on the upper back, neck and head. Neck work here gets it's own name because this is super detailed and focused work and it takes time to really do a thorough job the way we do it here. Although this session can be relaxing in it's own way, we are getting to the root of your issues and this takes participation from you. Especially when releasing trigger points and determining deep tissue pressure particularly in the neck area. This work cannot be rushed as areas can be incredibly tender.
If you want focus work on this area, but want to include the rest of the body please choose the Therapeutic Massage. Please note that we could work on your neck for an hour so please make sure to book a longer session to accommodate general massage for the rest of the body.
Please make sure that you wear your hair in a comfortable hairdo, there is usually a lot of head and scalp work to be done. If you do not want your hair messy, please let me know in advance or book at a time when it won't matter.
Reflexology Foot Massage
Start with a foot scrub to ease dry soles followed by a foot and lower leg massage working the reflex points that correspond to different areas and organs in your body.
This is a wonderful treatment for you if you can't tolerate massage on the rest of your body due to chronic illness or medical issues deterring you.
Deeply relaxing. Ease tired feet and tight lower legs, hydrate thirsty heels, give your mind a well needed break.
Walk better, sleep better and feel better!
