    What a difference ten extra minutes makes! While many spa's "hour" massages are in fact only 50 minutes, we spend a Full 60 minutes "Hands on" so that we are not rushing through the session, we can spend more time on your issues, your body can fully relax and we can give you the Best Value. If you don't want the full 60 minutes, you can get a 45 minute session and only pay $55. Please expect that you'll spend 15 minutes or so in the studio in addition to your "Hands-on" session when planning your time.

     Also, there is No Extra Charge for Deep Tissue, so we can integrate different techniques freely as necessary and you won't have to worry about whether you're having to pay more just to get the pressure or work that you need.

  • Integrated Deep Tissue Therapy


          Our signature massage is a blend of art and science created just for you from a wonderful alliance of methods. We target your problems and connected areas to relieve pain and tension, treating their causes effectively and naturally. You'll feel the difference.

          Deep tissue massage works the deeper muscles to release tension in the body, usually chronic tension. This is done with slow strokes, concentrated pressure on the tense areas and stretches to loosen muscles and fascia.

         Some people may experience temporary mild soreness for a period in the day following the massage. This should abate, and relief from the original pain and more comfortable mobility will follow.

  • Swedish Relaxation Massage

      
         Our flowing, soothing massage with aromatic oils helps you unwind, relieves tension, feels amazing and is always a favorite.

         Swedish massage relaxes muscles through pressure applied to the muscles and joints with soothing strokes returning blood to the heart. This increases oxygen flow and releases toxins built up in the muscles.

  • Hot Stone Therapy


         A marvelous, grounding massage with heated stones eases tired muscles, melting tension and stress. The stones are usually volcanic basalt because of their ability to absorb and retain heat well. The therapist places stones around your body and uses oiled, hot stones as well as their hands to massage you.

    1 Hour~$90   1½ Hour~$120

  • Thai Massage

          Thai massage is an ancient Ayurvedic form of bodywork. The work is performed on a floor mat, and the client wears comfortable clothing, like that suitable for yoga. It uses stretching in combination with pressure point massage to relieve stress and relax muscles. This invigorating ancient routine will leave you feeling loose, energized and balanced.
    Thai massage is not recommended if you have acute herniated discs or back injuries.

         Recommended session time is 1 to 2 hours.

  • Prenatal Massage

          Caring therapy for Moms-to-be. Special positioning and mindful techniques help to naturally ease the pains and stresses of pregnancy.

         Close to the end of the term, specific pressure points can also be worked to help stimulate labor. 

  • Reflexology

  • Paraffin Dips for Hands or Feet

       Add a wonderful, soothing dip for hands and/or feet. Let the heated wax and massage soften and sooth dry skin, tired feet and painful hands.

    $10 Hands or Feet


     

  • TSpheres


     

       We also have and use t-spheres, massage & aromatherapy in one portable product!
    T spheres are innovative and unique self-massage tools born from over 15 years of research and development by Licensed Massage Therapist Stephanie Whittier, CST. This natural way to relieve pain from the body uses the two most scientifically researched alternative methods for stress relief. The infusion of aromatherapy essential oils into purified, perfectly weighted organic rubber compound has never been accomplished before, making t spheres the only massage ball with both beneficial attributes. We incorporate them into massages and can show you how to use them at home and on the go. Each set comes with a spray-top re-infuser and simple ‘how to use’ pictorial instructions in a travel bag.
