Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Warm bamboo massage uses solid bamboo sticks of different lengths and diameters to massage the body. The sticks are gently warmed and applied to give deep and long massage strokes to break down tension and stretch tight muscles. This treatment is especially effective for runners and cyclists experiencing tightness in their legs, feet and IT band. It is also of great benefit to anyone suffering from shortened muscles due to postural imbalances. Using bamboo is a wonderful and natural way to work even deeper within the body.
Gua Sha translates directly from Chinese as, "to scrape away fever." To "scrape" over, or run the edge of the bamboo over, a sore area promotes an increase in blood flow, thus lessening pain. This "scraping" is especially helpful to those in any profession with repetitive movement, someone who enjoys an intense workout or weightlifting session or who wants a visual of the metabolic waste becoming unbound within the muscles and fascia. For, both lactic and uric acid can get trapped underneath the skin or within a bound up muscle due to a lack of drainage caused by decreased blood flow.
Warm Bamboo and Gua Sha can be applied both lightly or deeply; a treatment is always to the clients comfort. You may receive one treatment without, or in conjunction with, the other.

A sea salt scrub benefits your skin by exfoliating and removing old skin cells, leaving you with hydrated, smooth, more lustrous skin.
Exfoliation: scrubbing the skin with an abrasive ingredient -- like sea salt -- buffs away the top layer of dead skin, leaving a polished appearance that feels silky smooth. Exfoliation not only improves skin tone, but it can relieve the symptoms of certain skin disorders, such as eczema and psoriasis. Because of the high concentration of magnesium in sea salt, both the National Eczema Association and the National Psoriasis Foundation recommend using a sea salt glow as a method to reduce the itching and inflammation caused by skin diseases.
Detoxifying: A sea salt scrub helps draw the toxins from the body and increases skin blood circulation, promoting the growth of new skin cells. According to the International Journal of Dermatology, the presence of magnesium sulfate in marine salts, especially those from the Dead Sea, stimulates the liver and adrenal glands to dump their toxins. By detoxifying, you assist your immune system in fighting infections and illness.
Mud wraps help to rid the body of toxins. When the product is applied to the body, it's called a body mask. You are then wrapped in plastic and covered with a blanket for about 20 minutes, which is the body wrap. The mud works by stimulating your circulation, drawing out impurities, and giving your body minerals it might be missing. Afterwards, the body mask is wiped off with warm washcloths and you will have body butter massaged into your skin.
