Treatments
Rates and bookings are based off of duration of the treatment rather than a specific modality unless otherwise noted on scheduler.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most widely recognized form of massage therapy, known for promoting relaxation and easing everyday stress. This technique blends a variety of gliding strokes, rhythmic movements, and gentle to moderate pressure to calm the nervous system and restore balance. Benefits may include improved circulation, lymphatic support, reduced muscle tension, and relief from pain and fatigue , helping both body and mind settle into a state of ease.
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper tissues of the body, and is used to relieve chronic muscular and postural problems. While sometimes Deep Tissue may require a deeper sustained pressure, it is not synonymous with deep pressure. Techniques are generally slow and specific, with a goal of releasing restrictions in muscles, tendons and fascia to allow more freedom of movement and less pain. While some of these techniques include intense, localized pressure, deep tissue massage can also be subtle and gentle.
Myofascial Release
Our fascia is a web of connective tissue that wraps around the entire body, enveloping muscles, bones, and organs. Over time, injuries, repetitive movement, dehydration, or poor posture can create adhesions — areas where the tissue becomes tight or stuck to surrounding structures — limiting mobility and contributing to pain or dysfunction.
Myofascial release works to gently unwind these restrictions and restore elasticity within the connective tissue. By improving fascial glide and balance, this approach can help relieve tension, support healthy posture, and ease both acute and chronic discomfort.
Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage
*Coming soon! Bars are not up yet at the new studio.
Ashiatsu is a modality in which the therapist uses their feet to apply massage techniques, supported by overhead bars for balance and control. The word Ashiatsu comes from Japanese—Ashi meaning “foot” and Atsu meaning “pressure.”
This approach uses the broad surface of the foot to deliver slow, gliding strokes and deep, even pressure. Because the contact area is larger than the hand, Ashiatsu can reach deeper layers of tissue in a way that feels grounding rather than sharp. Many people who enjoy steady, sustained pressure or work on larger muscle groups find this style especially effective for releasing fascial tension and restoring balance.
Due to its deeply compressive nature, Ashiatsu may not be suitable for everyone. Some health conditions that are safe for traditional hands-on massage may be contraindicated for this work. Your therapist will review your health history and discuss whether Ashiatsu is an appropriate option for you.
Prenatal Massage
Massage therapy can be a wonderful way to support your body throughout pregnancy. As your baby grows, your connective tissues, muscles, and ligaments stretch to accommodate new patterns of movement and balance — which can sometimes lead to areas of compensation or discomfort.
Prenatal massage can help ease these aches and pains, encourage circulation and lymph flow, support balance through the pelvis, and offer time to rest, breathe, and reconnect with your changing body. Sessions are always adjusted for comfort, with positioning options that include side-lying, semi-reclined with wedge support, or face down using a pregnancy-specific bolstering system. Unless otherwise noted, sessions can incorporate a gentle blend of modalities to best meet your needs in each stage of pregnancy.
Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage and Hot Stone Massage are contraindicated during pregnancy. Cupping Therapy may also be contraindicated depending on the individual.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive approach that uses light touch—typically no more than the weight of a nickel—to help release restrictions in the connective tissues and ease tension within the nervous system.
This subtle work supports the body’s natural rhythm by encouraging balance in the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Techniques often involve static, sustained holds at the head, sacrum, and other key areas that are influenced by the pumping of the cerebrospinal fluid from sacrum to cranium that bathes the spinal cord.
CST can be deeply relaxing, often engaging the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response. It can be especially supportive for concerns such as headaches and migraines, jaw tension or TMJD, whiplash, chronic pain, anxiety, and stress. Craniosacral techniques can incorporated into a massage session to complement other forms of bodywork.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique that uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape over lubricated skin, helping release tension in the muscles and connective tissue. This modality focuses on improving glide between layers of fascia, which can support greater range of motion, ease discomfort, reduce muscle tension, and encourage healthy circulation.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gua Sha was historically used to move “Sha,” or stagnant energy, to the surface of the skin. In a massage setting, the technique is applied with the goal of soft-tissue release and improving mobility.
It’s common for Gua Sha to bring temporary redness or light marks to the skin, known as petechiae. The marking is caused by interstitial cellular fluid or serum leaking into superficial blood vessels and although they may appear dramatic, these marks are painless, harmless, and comparable to a hickey mark. Gua sha markings, if any, typically resolve within a couple of days.
Because of its focused nature, Gua Sha is usually integrated into a massage session for 5–10 minutes per area at most. It can be particularly helpful for issues such as limited mobility, repetitive strain, headaches, or localized muscle tension. If appropriate, your therapist can incorporate Gua Sha as part of a customized bodywork session to support your treatment goals.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic modality with roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, now widely used to support soft-tissue health and circulation. In massage therapy, flexible silicone cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This lifting effect helps separate layers of tissue, encouraging movement where things may feel tight or stagnant.
Think of cupping as a “reverse massage”—rather than pressing down, it lifts the tissue to increase space, glide, and flow. This process brings fresh, oxygenated blood to the area while helping move lymph, interstitial fluid, and cellular waste through the body’s natural systems of circulation and detoxification.
Cups can be used statically or dynamically by slowly moving them across the skin for a massage-like effect. Cupping can support relaxation, reduce muscular tension, ease pain, and improve range of motion. It pairs beautifully with other forms of bodywork and can be seamlessly integrated into a regular session.
It’s common for cupping to leave temporary red or purple circular marks—known as petechiae that are painless and harmless, similar to a hickey. Petechiae are caused by drawing serum or interstitial fluid up into the superficial blood vessels from suction. These marks typically fade within a few days to a week.
Hot Stone Massage
*not currently offered
In this modality, the therapist uses smooth, heated stones and warm oil to promote deep relaxation and release muscular tension. The session resembles a Swedish-style massage, but the stones are also used as an extension of the therapist’s hands to deliver soothing, continuous pressure and warmth.
The heat from the stones helps soften tight muscles, increase circulation, and encourage the body to unwind more fully. This creates a deeply grounding and restorative experience.
