ayurvedic massage 60 minutes

The Abhyanga massage is part of the ancient Ayurvedic healing system from India.

The rhythm, warmth of the oils, and the patterned strokes provide a renewed and deep sense of calm and balance.

cranio-sacral therapy* 60 minutes

Cranio-Sacral therapy is a gentle hands-on method of releasing restrictions in the cranial sacral structure and system that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Correcting these imbalances can help alleviate a full range of sensory, motor or neurological restrictions, calming and balancing the entire body. Performed with clothing on.

Recommended if you are seeking a more gentle bodywork approach.

neuromuscular therapy (NMT)* 30, 60 or 90 Minutes

shiatsu 75 minutes

Shiatsu (pronounced shi-áht-zu) is one of the oldest traditional Chinese healing arts. A firm, gentle pressure is used on acupuncture points along the meridians, supporting your body's return to balance. Stretching, gentle rocking, and an energetic coaxing are used to relieve pain, assist and support the body's systems, and increase the flow of "qi" (pronounced "chi", meaning life energy). One of the most effective complementary medicine techniques. Please wear loose and comfortable clothing for these sessions.

reflexology 30 or 60 minutes

Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, reflexology can relax and balance your entire body by massaging the feet. Using the knowledge of the meridians and the "map" to the body the feet provide, the therapist applies firm pressure, noting any tension and releasing it, relaxing the entire body.

auriculotherapy 30 minutes

Auriculotherapy is the practice of using the reflex points of the ear (similar to foot and hand reflexology) that correspond to various organs and energy systems of the body. Used for weight control, smoking cessation, headaches, depression, and many other conditions.
