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!
hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a way of exercising the imagination in order for people to change the way they see themselves and the world.
It is a way of communicating with the subconscious (or inner self/higher self) to effect positive change in waking normal life, in your normal conscious state.
Hypnosis is a powerful tool to overcome limiting beliefs and facilitate healing in the body. Because all learning, behavior, and change ultimately take place at the unconscious level, it’s imperative to learn how to make changes consciously in the unconscious mind.
Guided inner-visioning.
Healing with the mind's eye.
Immersing your inner senses in the movie of the life you actually want.
There are many ways to describe it.

Mind - body - spirit recuperation from the daily stressors of life.
Therapeutic relaxation at its best!
We address tension caused by work or any other stressful activities including sports injuries and repetitive injuries.
The stress on the body from sitting too long, driving too long, travel in general, working at a computer or desk, standing for long hours can accumulate, cause tense muscle and postural problems.
Injuries from sports and other activities can linger and become a chronic problem.
Let us help you out. We want you to feel your best, take care of yourself, and go an a healing journey.
Bonus, when we feel great everyone around us can feel it too. We have more energy and can simply enjoy everything in life with more ease.
When the body is in alignment and relatively stress free, we are more likely to not get ill, feel run down, or get injured.
Wellness is the state of being in good health, as a pursued goal. It’s a lifestyle.
How it works
We provide on-site services for small groups.
One hour $100 to $120

50% of total bill is due upon booking. The remainder will be charged 48 hours prior to your scheduled service.
Between two and eight
There will always be at least 2 service providers at each booking, so there needs to be at least two clients receiving services. We can usually accommodate groups of up to 8 depending on therapist’s availability.
Depending on availability we can accommodate a variety of wellness services. See list below.
Requirements
For your location there needs to be enough space for 2 massage tables and room for the therapist to move around the table. At least 6x10 feet of space per table.
Convenient outlet near the treatment area for heating towels and hot stones.
There needs to be easy parking available for the therapist as well.
Suggestion for families and groups:
Because we may be working in a common area, a good idea is to have all clients wear a bathing suit. This makes getting everyone on and off the tables a breeze without the need for privacy.
