Swedish massage: (For those who need to unwind, de-stress, and relax). Swedish massage is the most common form of massage therapy. It entails applying light to medium pressure, using kneading, gentle and long strokes to the superficial muscles groups. Swedish massage is good for reducing stress, improving circulation, and calming the nervous system.

On-site/Chair massage: (Perfect for work environments, special events, conventions, and tradeshows). Chair Massage is an effective and quick way to relieve stress in the shoulders, neck, back, arms, and hands, in just 10 to 30 minutes. The session is administered in a special massage chair, with the individual being fully clothed. Chair massage is extremely popular in many corporate offices, at wedding events such as bridal showers, and at corporate conventions, conferences and tradeshows.

Deep tissue massage: (For those needing relief from chronic pain, and a little more than basic relaxation). Deep Tissue Massage is for those who suffer from chronic pain or muscle conditions, such as fibromyalgia. The strokes used are more direct, deep, and slow in nature, and address the deeper non-superficial muscle groups. Some stretching and joint movements are also a part of this massage therapy. Deep tissue massage is good for improving circulation, and reducing muscle spasms and pain.

Myofascial release massage: (For those needing relief from stiffness due to lack of, or too much exercise). Myo (is Muscle) and Fascia (is the web like connective tissue that surrounds the muscle). Sometimes it is difficult to massage the muscles due to the fascia being too stiff. The stokes used in myofascial release massage are usually medium to deep spreading strokes used to warm the fascia to relaxation, in order to work on the muscle tissue. Myofascial massage is great for increasing blood flow.

Trigger point massage: (For those needing relief from general muscle spasms or headaches). Trigger Point is a form of deep tissue massage; however, the therapist's fingers are the main instrument. There is usually no kneading or stroking of the muscles. Instead, direct pressure is applied to specific points in the contracted muscle to relieve spasms, tension, stiffness, and blockage of circulation.

Reiki therapy: (For those who cannot endure direct physical manipulation of the muscles). Reiki Therapy is a form of energy work which balances out the flow of energy or chi' throughout the body. The therapist's hands are gently placed on, and passed over, the client's body releasing any blocked energy. This therapy is good for releasing emotional and physical tension. Reiki is perfect for those with terminal illnesses, cancer, or those who just need an emotional healing. Reiki is administered with the client fully clothed.

Aromatherapy: (Enhances the experience of massage for everyone). Certain herbs and plants essential oils are known to have healing properties and address specific problems. For example, lavender is known to soothe and calm the muscles, and peppermint oil is known to soothe sinus pain and headaches. During the massage session, these oils are placed in a base oil or cream and applied to the body providing a therapeutic healing experience for the client. The oils are also used in other applications during the massage session.
