Services
Oncology Massage
Oncology Massage adapts techniques to safely address cancer treatment effects, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. It alleviates fatigue, lymphedema, and scar tissue discomfort while supporting emotional well-being. Clients receive personalized care tailored to their treatment stage and medical history.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage uses manual techniques to reduce swelling and improve fluid circulation, ideal for post-surgical recovery or weight management. Certified in Vodder techniques, the therapist targets edema and supports healing with non-invasive, rhythmic movements.
Ayurvedic Chakra Balancing Massage
This full-body massage integrates warm herbal oils and chakra energy work to restore balance and vitality. Scalp and abdominal treatments enhance relaxation, while personalized dosha assessments guide the use of oils for physical and emotional harmony.
Myo-fascial Release
Myo-fascial Release gently alleviates adhesions and tightness in connective tissue, improving mobility and reducing pain. It is particularly effective for post-surgical scars, chronic tension, and restricted movement, offering immediate relief through sustained pressure.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal Massage eases discomfort during pregnancy, focusing on shoulders, back, and legs. Performed from the second trimester onward, it requires physician clearance and addresses swelling, posture strain, and stress with gentle, supportive techniques.
