Therapeutic Massage aka "Deep Tissue Massage"
The art of "deep tissue" isn't just about the amount of pressure a massage therapist applies to the tissue, "deep tissue" is accessing the deeper layers of muscle, fascia, and soft tissue to release pain and tension, to restore mobility and function. We do not believe that massage should be painful, and we do not apply extreme levels of pressure, you should never be sore or bruised after a session with us. We work with the nervous system and slowly release the tension layer by layer. This can take time and not always achieved in one session. There is a level of therapeutic discomfort one can expect, but if it goes beyond that, we can actually do damage and negate the entire process of trying to help release the stuck tissue. We have found that being able to release the deeper layers can help create dramatic changes to achieve the goals set that day.
Cupping Massage
The amount of profound work that can be achieved with a little suction cup is mind blowing! Yes, cupping can leave round red or purple marks on your body, these are not bruises, a bruise is an injury, it can be painful and inflamed. A cupping mark is stagnated blood, lymph, and other fluids that have been pulled to the surface. The negative pressure achieved with suction, lifts and separates the individual muscle fibers and fascia and can achieve superior results, especially for those areas of chronic pain and tension like the upper back. It's our go to for self care as well! We often incorporate cupping into every session, but you an always request that it be added, we do not charge extra for cupping.
Intra-Oral Massage
Kim offers intra-oral (inside the mouth) massage which can be very beneficial to those dealing with chronic TMJD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and headaches. This type of bodywork can be incredibly powerful and can be incorporated into a session. This is the only “add-on” that we charge extra for because we need to add 15 minutes onto your session. It includes a full face and scalp massage.
Prenatal Massage
We love working with prenatal clients! Kim went through Doula training so she could have a better understanding of pregnancy and everything the human body endures during those nine months. Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a persons life, but it can also be very difficult and quite uncomfortable for some. Massage can help ease the aches and pains of pregnancy throughout the entire 40+ weeks. When appropriate, we use the full body pregnancy cushions that allow you to lay face down for the treatment. This is not only a nice break from all the side-lying you’re doing, but also allows us to work more effectively on the back and hips which are often a huge source of discomfort.
