The purpose of a Wellness Massage is to promote relaxation and to return the body to homeostasis. It incorporates five basic strokes of varying pressure directed towards the heart with a goal of increasing blood and lymph circulation. This allows your muscles to receive important nutrients and oxygen as well as to remove waste products and toxins. The effects on the nervous system can be either stimulating or sedative depending on the length, pressure, and choice of strokes.
Our Therapeutic Massage is designed to incorporate a variety of techniques to enhance your overall well-being. It is ideal for those clients who have pain, discomfort, or tightness and want those areas of complaint addressed more specifically during their massage session. The techniques used may include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Craniosacral, Acupressure, and Myofascial. We tailor the massage to meet your needs. Wendy Pelton, BS, LMT (Owner)

For our Moms-to-be we
have a massage to meet their special needs. We start with a table
designed
to allow the expectant mom to comfortably
lie face down. The massage then addresses the dynamic changes in
a pregnant woman’s body and helps to relieve the discomforts
she may be feeling. The goal is to support her optimum health during
this exciting time.
Heated stones are used during this massage to promote relaxation and sooth tight, sore muscles. The therapist uses traditional Swedish strokes while holding the stones and/or they may place them on specific points along your spine, in the palm of your hands, or between your toes to improve energy flow in your body.
Thai Yoga Massage combines the practice of yoga with the benefits of massage. It is performed on a padded floor mat with both client and practitioner wearing loose, comfortable clothing. The practitioner assists the client into gentle yoga postures and applies rhythmic palming, thumbing and passive stretches to the body. In addition to relieving muscle tension and improving flexibility and posture, Thai Yoga Massage can balance the body energetically and induce a calm, mental state. No experience with yoga is necessary; stiff bodies are welcome! Yoga - Private 50-Minute Session $65 Yoga means union of body, mind and spirit and is sometimes described as an inward journey, a way of being present in each and every moment. The practice of Yoga has the power to release muscles from their habitual state of tension and return them to their resting length. It can increase the mobility of the joints, improving strength, flexibility, and balance. Each session includes asanas (postures) that meet your needs and ends with a relaxation period to quiet the mind and relax the body. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy, the energy that is all around us. As a therapy, the Reiki practitioner uses gentle touch and “near touch” to channel the energy into a client’s body. This activates a person’s natural healing abilities helping to bring about physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. Reiki can be used to help increase energy, reduce pain, and produce a general feeling of health through deep relaxation.
