We combine traditional Swedish massage techniques with modalities such as acupressure, assisted stretching, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage and myofascial release. This allows us to effectively attend to your needs without sacrificing a relaxing experience. We find gentle coaxing is superior to aggressive conquering of muscular tension. Unless requested otherwise, we use a locally produced natural lavender and sweet orange lotion. Your massage begins when the therapist enters the room.
We provide in-home or in-facility gentle and soothing massage for the elderly and for individuals who are ill or transitioning. Whereas it's not uncommon for the elderly to be touch deprived, touch received by those who have health challenges or are transitioning tends to be clinical or provided by overly stressed caregivers. We consider it an honor to provide compassionate touch to individuals compromised by aging and illness.
Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle therapy that balances the central nervous system. It involves the manipulation and release of connective tissue that impinges on underlying structures through a series of gentle holds and movements. This will support your body's innate ability to engage in self correction. Some recipients have an emotional catharsis through laughter and/or tears. Should this happen during your session, we recommend you "go with it." The overall experience is truly liberating.

The lymphatic system is an integral component of our immune system. It transports fluids, eliminates toxins and produces antibodies that fight infection. When the lymphatic system is disrupted, swelling may occur, pain may increase and immune functions may be compromised. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) improves the flow of lymph throughout the body thereby facilitating detoxification, healing and effective immune functioning.
Perfect for allergy and migraine sufferers, MLD reduces inflammation and facial puffiness. Until 2015, it was believed that the brain did not have lymphatic vessels. Now it is speculated that several cognitive disorders may be linked to compromised lymphatics. MLD of the head, neck and scalp also facilitates the flow of lymph in the brain.

Full body MLD is the perfect complement to systemic cleansing practices because of its ability to eliminate toxins in the body. It is an exceptional therapy to receive pre-surgery as many who receive MLD beforehand notice that post-procedure healing is accelerated and inflammation is reduced.

Local MLD addresses swelling in specific areas of the body by directing fluids toward major lymphatic vessels and facilitating drainage. It has been proven to accelerate healing and decrease the likelihood of forming scar tissue. Recommended for reducing inflammation due to injury and surgery and for minimizing symptoms associated with mild lymphedema stages 0 and 1.
