Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage is more than a mix of techniques — it’s a custom-built session crafted through 15+ years of hands-on experience. Every treatment draws from the best of Swedish relaxation and Deep Tissue work, layered with other tools like Thai-inspired stretching, table-based stretches, and cross-fiber friction.
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is the classic go-to for relaxation — smooth, flowing, and designed to calm the nervous system while easing tension throughout the body. This technique uses long gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and rhythmic tapping to improve circulation, support lymphatic flow, and bring the whole system into a state of calm.
- Improved circulation and lymph flow
- Reduced stress-related tension
- Enhanced sleep quality
- Nervous system regulation
- A lighter, more nurturing touch experience
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is designed to go beyond surface-level relaxation and target the deeper layers of muscle and fascia where chronic tension and structural imbalances live. It’s not about “just going deep” — it’s about being precise, intentional, and in sync with how your body responds.
- Relief from chronic muscle tension and pain
- Improved posture and movement efficiency
- Increased flexibility and range of motion
- Recovery support for injuries and scar tissue remodeling
- Better balance and alignment through deep structural work
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is performance-focused bodywork for active people — whether you're training hard, working a physical job, or just trying to stay mobile and pain-free. These sessions are more clinical than spa-like, typically performed through loose-fitting athletic clothing with little to no lotion.
- Muscle-specific work to improve range of motion and relieve tightness
- Table-based stretching to increase flexibility and joint mobility
- Pin-and-stretch techniques to release muscle adhesions during movement
- Myofascial release to reduce tension and improve tissue glide
- Percussive therapy for quick muscle activation or recovery
