Services
Facial Rejuvenation
Our Facial Rejuvenation service combines Bo Jin, Gua Sha, and Korean contouring techniques to restore skin vitality. Using hand-distilled botanical elixirs and warmed herbal poultices, this non-invasive treatment improves circulation, reduces puffiness, and relieves facial tension. Ideal for those seeking natural alternatives to cosmetic procedures, it addresses TMJ pain, sinus congestion, and stress-related facial fatigue through customized manual therapy.
Thai Massage
Traditional Thai Massage uses passive stretching and acupressure along energy lines to improve flexibility and balance energy flow. Performed on a comfortable mat, this 60-120 minute session combines deep tissue work with gentle stretching to release muscle tension. Enhanced with aromatic oils, it promotes circulation and lymphatic movement while maintaining proper draping for comfort throughout the treatment.
Herbal Poultice
This signature herbal poultice therapy features steamed compresses filled with in-house blended medicinal herbs. Applied during massage sessions, the warm poultices deliver anti-inflammatory benefits to deep tissues while aromatic properties promote mental clarity. The treatment combines heat therapy with acupressure to target specific areas of tension and improve microcirculation for lasting muscle relaxation.
Gua Sha Therapy
Certified Gua Sha treatments use specialized tools to improve microcirculation and release fascial restrictions. This traditional technique moves stagnant Qi and lymphatic fluid to reduce inflammation and muscle tightness. Available as a standalone service or facial treatment add-on, it enhances skin elasticity while addressing chronic pain patterns through controlled petechiae formation that resolves within days.
Aromatherapy
Custom-blended aromatherapy treatments utilize therapeutic-grade essential oils for emotional and physical benefits. Integrated into massage sessions, these botanical extracts target specific wellness goals through olfactory stimulation and transdermal absorption. Our formulations address stress, inflammation, and skin health while creating a multi-sensory experience that supports the body's natural healing processes.
