Thai inspired energy work and passive stretching
Therapeutic relaxation at its best!
therapeutic massage
This custom massage is tailored to meet your wellness goals. I will use a combination of techniques which may include flowing moves for relaxation, therapeutic techniques for specific areas that need attention, and deep tissue techniques for chronic discomfort. We will chat at the beginning of your session to make sure you receive exactly what you need to feel your best.
foot reflexology
When I treat the feet, I use a combination of traditional reflexology, aromatherapy and Thai Foot Massage to help create harmony, deep rejuvenation, improved sleep, less discomfort in chronically tense areas of the body, overall health, well-being and mind-body connection.
Thai yoga massage
Thai yoga massage, part of the ancient holistic healing system of Thailand, provides the release of long held tension with passive stretching and gentle pressure applied along the body’s energy meridian lines.
This type of bodywork is wonderful for athletes as well as people who sit or stand too much.
Typically the work is done clothed with the client wearing loose comfortable clothing. Many clients fall asleep even though they are being passively stretched throughout the session.
Clients say they feel extremely relaxed, less sore and tight. Some clients even say they feel taller after a Thai yoga massage session, because they feel their posture improve, less tension, and more ease in their body.
herbal compress massage
Thai Herbal Compresses have been used for thousands of years alone or in combination with massage treatments to bring balance to mind, body and spirit. As part of traditional Thai medicine the herbs in the compress are combined to alleviate blockages in the body’s energy, stress, fatigue, joint stiffness, strained muscles and tendons, and inflammation. In addition blood circulation and relaxation are increased. The compress holds heat from steam to activate the herbs, opening the skin’s pores and blood vessels. This results in nourishing the body’s tissues. The aromas are absolutely wonderful including ginger, turmeric, lemon grass, camphor, Kaffir lime and tamarind. The best smelling massage therapy session you will ever receive!

We will incorporate some aromatherapy and some hands on yoga assists as well.
aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils extracted from plants to enhance well-being.
Only the best most pure oils and blends are chosen for your session.
Let us know if you would like to invigorate, relax, or uplift and we will pick just the right oils for you.
guided breath
This is a mindful and intentional way of breathing that can help you to de-stress, focus, boost energy, relax more, and improve sleep.
We will use this technique as part of your massage or yoga session, or by itself to assist you with your relaxation and putting more stress-management tools in your toolbox.
