Root To Rise Massage Therapy & Yoga

At Root to Rise Massage Therapy & Yoga, we believe in the transformative power of holistic healing. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the understanding that each individual's journey towards wellness is unique and requires a personalized approach. Our dedicated team, led by Chrissy Shea, a licensed massage therapist and yoga instructor, is committed to providing a range of services designed to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual balance.

Our Services

We offer a variety of specialty therapies tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. From the ancient healing art of Thai Yoga Massage to the relaxing and rejuvenating Healing Stone Massage, our services are designed to address your unique requirements. Our team is trained in a range of modalities including Deep Tissue, Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, and Private Yoga instruction.

Our signature service, Thai Yoga Massage, is an ancient healing art practiced in Thailand for over 25 centuries. This therapeutic practice combines rhythmic compression, energy pathway balancing, yoga-based stretches, and conscious breath to promote deep relaxation and realign the body. Performed on a supportive floor mat, this treatment can be modified for a table if necessary.

Deep Tissue Massage is another key service we offer. This customized massage is designed to address specific areas of tension and fatigue in the muscles. By using slow and deliberate techniques, we aim to improve flexibility and circulation, ease pain, and promote muscle recovery.

For those seeking a more spiritual and relaxing experience, we offer Traditional Reiki. This ancient healing practice from Japan involves the laying on of hands to channel universal life force healing energy. Reiki is an excellent stress reducer and can leave you feeling both relaxed and energized.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle healing technique that uses sensitive and exact pressure to encourage cerebrospinal fluid movement and release restrictions in the head, neck, and spinal column. This treatment is particularly beneficial for stress, chronic pain, headaches, and insomnia.

Our Healing Stone Massage combines reflexology, deep tissue, and Swedish massage techniques with the slow, rhythmic application of heated basalt stones. This unique treatment promotes absolute relaxation and brings both the physical and energetic systems back into balance.

We also offer Private Yoga instruction, which provides a safe and healthy environment for you to practice yoga at your own level. Our classes blend Kundalini, Vinyasa, and Restorative yoga with a focus on conscious breathing and meditation techniques.

Continuing Education and Trainings

At Root to Rise, we believe in ongoing education and training. We offer continuing education workshops and classes for both professionals and individuals interested in expanding their knowledge and skills in holistic healing. Our Partner Thai Yoga Classes are a fun way to connect with a friend, reduce stress, and enhance your sense of well-being. Participants guide each other through a series of yoga stretches, creating a harmonious and therapeutic "dance."
