True Deep Tissue
While many massage therapists say they do deep tissue work, it’s very hard to find someone with the subtlety of technique that is detailed enough to offer real results. Pressure must be finely controlled for maximum benefit without creating new injury. (We’ve all had that massage before, right?) 🎯
No rushing policy
I don’t “stack” clients like spas do 🎳 - meaning we have plenty of time to talk before + after your session, as I value our intake conversation and any insights you may want to share afterwards. If you’re running a few minutes late, I still offer clients the full time for each session. The person who’s running late probably needs their massage the most!
Theragun therapy
Theragun therapy delivers rapid, repetitive pulses of pressure to the muscles + stimulates blood circulation in the targeted area. 🥁 These pulses from the device dilate blood vessels, which allows more oxygen and nutrients to reach the muscle fibers.
Organic oil
Organic sesame oil leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated, without any of the petrochemicals found in lotions. The consistency of organic sesame oil allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin, promoting better absorption of nutrients and facilitating the release of tension and toxins from the body.
Organic cotton sheets
All of my sheets have recently been upgraded to Organic Cotton from The Company Store.
Eucalyptus essential oil
Inhalation of eucalyptus essential oil vapors during your massage opens up the airways, promotes easier breathing, + provides relief from congestion and sinus-related issues. 👃Eucalyptus essential oil has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, + antibacterial properties, which relieve muscle pain/soreness and prevents infections or skin irritations during a massage. (It can be particularly beneficial for athletes or those with repetitive strain!)
Your best self
Witness how touch enables you to forge a deeper connection with yourself, fostering a heightened awareness of physical sensations. As you cultivate a stronger mind-body connection, your intuition blooms, empowering you to make informed decisions regarding your health + well-being.
Free reiki + mini sound bath
Experience the extraordinary stress-reducing power of free reiki, as it gently guides you away from the constant chatter of your mind and invites you to revel in a serene, tranquil, liminal space. End your massage with the gentle tones of Tibetan singing bowls, balancing and harmonizing the energy flow in the body.
Free nap
Add on a free 5 minute nap - let all the juicy goodness of the deep tissue massage really sink in before you have to leave, just like shavasana after yoga. 😴
