Which Type of Massage Is Best for Me?

Swedish Massage
​​Swedish massage is the most common style of massage in the West. If you don't get massaged often, it is a great place to start. Swedish massage finds an ideal balance between releasing muscle pain and promoting relaxation. Our Swedish Massage is done with a therapeutic approach allowing our therapists to work on different acute or chronic issues or pains you may be experiencing.

Deep Tissue
If you have muscle pain and like a strong massage with deep pressure, this is for you. Deep Tissue Massage is designed to alleviate chronic muscle tensions, Deep Tissue massage involves slow strokes and direct pressure that penetrate to the deeper layers of the muscles.

Californian Massage
The Californian relaxation massage is a gentle and intuitive approach that seeks to raise bodily awareness through touch and breathing. It is an oil massage, with long fluid strokes. The massage aims first to reach the person via deep relaxation which allows for physical and emotional healing to take place.

Couple's Massage
Couple's massages are for 2 people who want to be massaged by two therapists in the same room. Ideal for Deep Tissue, Swedish or Californian massages.

Esalen Flow
​This intuitive approach is given with long fluid strokes over the whole body that help release the stresses of everyday life, leaving the receiver feeling whole, integrated and deeply relaxed, in a natural state of well-being. With its nurturing contact and detailed attention to the whole body, this massage provides a state of deep relaxation and healing. Practitioners are dedicated to connecting deeply with each client. Practitioners combine a full-hearted presence with slow deep muscle work to release everyday tensions and to still the mind.

Fascia Therapy
​Fascia therapy relieves soft tissue restrictions that cause pain. Pain is caused by myofascial tightness can play a significant role in creating malfunction in the structure of the spine, extremities and organs. Fascia Therapy is a type of safe, low load stretch that releases tightness and pain throughout the body caused by myofascial pain syndrome, which describes chronic muscle pain that is worse in certain areas known as trigger points.

Hot Stone Massage
​Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.
Duration: 90 minutes

Lomi Lomi from Hawaii
Originating from the Hawaiian Islands, Lomi Lomi massage is a form of full body massage using long flowing strokes, mainly using forearms, that go from head to toe in a continuous, rhythmic movement massaging both the top and the undersides of your body.

Lymphatic Drainage
A lymphatic drainage massage primarily focuses on specific lymph nodes and points of the body, as well as the natural flow of the lymphatic system. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, lymph nodes may become swollen. Further, the system fails to remove the body’s toxins. Lymphatic drainage is believed to help the circulatory, respiratory, muscular and endocrine systems. It's also believed that lymphatic drainage therapy can also reduce allergies, menstrual cramps, colds and other viruses.

Prenatal Massage
​Our Swedish or Californian massages can be adapted for pregnancy. Lying on the side, with proper support, pregnancy massage is used to reduce stress, decrease swelling, relieve aches and pains, and reduce anxiety. The massage is customized to a woman's individual needs.
Duration: 60 minutes

Reflexology
Reflexology is more than simple foot massage. Reflexology involves applying pressure to certain points on the foot that correspond to organs and systems in the body. Reflexology is very relaxing, especially for people who stand on their feet all day or just have tired, achy feet.
Duration: 60 minutes

Reiki
​Reiki is a form of energy work that aims to remove blockages found in the subtle astral body. 
​Duration: 60 minutes​

Shiatsu from Japan
Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic bodywork from Japan. It uses kneading, pressing, soothing, tapping, and stretching techniques and is performed on a floor mat, without oils through light, comfortable clothing. One of the fundamental concepts of Asian medicine is Qi or Prana; the subtle life force energy. Qi flows in specific pathways called meridians. The Shiatsu therapist accesses the Qi through points along the meridians. Health is present when there is abundant Qi in the meridians and the flow is unobstructed. When the Qi becomes deficient or out of balance, or the flow is obstructed, symptoms arise. Seemingly minor signs emerge, such as regular colds, headaches, chronic fatigue, muscular pain, or anxiety are indications of the imbalance of Qi. Shiatsu stimulates and harmonizes the flow of Qi throughout the body.
​Duration: 75 or 90 minutes​
​
Sports Massage
​Sports massage therapy helps alleviate the tension which builds up in the body's soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. The massage will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, draining away fatigue, relieving swelling, reducing muscle tension, promoting flexibility and preventing injuries. 

Osteopathy 
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that aims to restore mobility to the various structures of the body, considering it in its entirety. Restrictions on mobility of the joints, muscles, tendons and internal organs can cause an imbalance in the health and well-being. The objective of the osteopath is to discover restricted areas by palpation and various tests and realign the body by various manual techniques that restore the harmony of body mechanics. Osteopathy is the preferred choice for postural correction, structural realignment, and increased range of motion.

Marma Points
Ayurvedic Acupressure
​This 2-part massage begins with a Polarity treatment designed to balance the subtle body and open up the energetic pathways. It then continues with Marma Point Therapy, a healing art originating in the Ayurvedic traditions of ancient India. There are 108 Marma points throughout the body. Each point has its own intelligence and consciousness, which co-ordinate with the mind and body. This ancient form of treatment dating back to between 1500 — 1200 BC involves using the fingers to stimulate the Marma points thereby promoting physical and mental rehabilitation. As with Acupuncture, these points correspond to internal organs and systems of the body which react to manual stimulation. Marma Chikitsa balances the flow of energy that circulates through the body in specific channels called Nadis.
Possibility of 3 ayurvedic marmas in 3 consecutive days for cumulative effect and complete restoration.
Indications: Marma has a calming effect on the nervous system. It is particularly effective for people suffering from commotions, migraines, recent operations, jetlag, insomnia, anxiety and stress. 
Contraindications: Not recommended during a menstrual cycle, refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine 24 hours prior to the treatment.

Yoga Massage is a deeply relaxing yet dynamic form of bodywork throughout which the massage therapist moves in a rhythmical dance manner around the receiver who lies on a padded mat on the floor.Ayurveda is the science of health originating in India and developed over the last 5,000 years.
