Having a massage does more than just relax your body and mind, as there are specific physiological and psychological changes that occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a preventive, frequent therapy. Massage addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which experts believe is the pre-curser for 80%-90% of all disease.

The emphasis here is about building relationships and understanding what techniques would best benefit your mind and body – not the revolving door and one-size-fits-all approach that comes standard with so many spas and clinics. You can trust that your massage will be completely customized to your unique issues and specific goals.

Your body will feel refreshed, your mind free of worry and your soul nurtured. Take a really deep breath, give in and just let go…

Back, Neck and Shoulders Tonic
One of my most popular massages, this treatment is just what your body craves if your Back, Neck and Shoulders feel constricted and tense. Using therapeutic techniques that are slower and more concentrated, this results-oriented massage will unravel those core muscles along the spine that get so tight. You'll decrease your discomfort and increase your flexibility, leaving your entire body feeling oh-so-wonderful. But please, go easy on the drooling.

Carpal Tunnel Antidote
Aching, burning or numbness in those hands and arms? Perhaps you've moved on to the tingling “pins-and-needles” sensation? Not to worry, you've got a healthy option! This treatment is focused on detailing those smaller muscles of the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and neck to get serious benefits. Using concentrated techniques to relax and lengthen all of the soft tissue of your upper body, you will feel results after just one session. Dedicate yourself to a few sessions and the results will be profoundly impressive, if not completely diminished!

Maternal Instincts
Muscular tensions and pressures due to the normal changes of your body during pregnancy will be alleviated during this massage. Nurturing and soothing techniques are used in conjunction with a special pressure-relieving body support system. This pre- or post- natal treatment addresses specific pregnancy discomforts such as low back pain, swelling and headaches while bringing comfort and relaxation. Massage is also beneficial for your baby, who will share the same calming effects within the womb. (Massage during pregnancy should be enjoyed after your first trimester.)

Ancient Healing Stones
This is one experience that is truly luxurious as it is therapeutic. Heated desert stones are strategically placed onto your body, bringing comfort and warmth. Next, relax as smooth, hot stones are oiled and massaged into your specific areas of stress and tension, releasing their heat while providing deep relief to tired and sore muscles. This treatment is very calming and centering – perfect for those feeling out of balance. These unique stones have evolved in the hot Southwestern sun for thousands and thousands of years…perfect for a beautifully unique, healing massage.

The Celestial Sole™
The crème de la crème and best of the best. This is not only my signature massage, but also my most popular...perfect for those who desire the most luxurious and therapeutic treatment available. A hypnotic dance of three Eastern styles of barefoot massage are interwoven with advanced methods by hand, gracefully loosening and relaxing the larger muscles of your body, while finessing your smaller muscles that need the refinement of traditional techniques. This massage is excellent for everyone, all shapes and sizes, and is completely about achieving the results you crave. Known as the ultimate experience, it is the perfect blend between therapy and relaxation.

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy®
Are you ready to leave massage by hand in your distant past? Ashiatsu is an ancient form of barefoot massage from Asia with a truly Western flare. Parallel bars are suspended from the ceiling, which I use for control and balance. Soft, clean feet and crème are used to produce a deeply smooth, therapeutic massage. This treatment is optimal for physically fit individuals, larger clients and those who can never get enough pressure in a massage. Having a direct apprenticeship with the Founder of this therapy, I am certified in all levels of advanced techniques that are necessary for an extraordinary experience.

Deeperwork™
Calling all of you ‘hurt so good' lovers out there! Deeperwork™ is a barefoot technique focused on the release of myofascial trigger points, the hypersensitive knots in muscle that are tight and painful. This gravity-assisted massage is typically performed with minimal oil or crème. It utilizes slow, deep compression in combination with acupressure to effectively treat chronic pain, restrictions and hypertonic muscles. This massage is usually reserved for athletes or those who are very physically fit – people with a greater understanding of the body and an expectation for work that not only feels good in the moment, but also relieves ongoing tension.
