Services
Ashiatsu Massage
Ashiatsu barefoot massage utilizes therapist's feet to apply deep, broad pressure across all tissue layers. This technique effectively releases chronic muscle tension while activating the parasympathetic nervous system for complete relaxation. Ideal for athletes and individuals with dense muscle tissue seeking comprehensive pain relief and improved mobility.
Deep Tissue Massage
Combining neuromuscular therapy and myofascial release techniques, this treatment targets chronic pain and restricted movement. Therapists use focused pressure to break up muscle adhesions and scar tissue while incorporating heat therapy and stretching for enhanced mobility. Recommended for clients recovering from injuries or managing persistent musculoskeletal issues.
Stretch Therapy
Guided stretching sessions improve mobility through isometric exercises and resisted range of motion techniques. Therapists help clients develop balanced strength and flexibility while addressing hypermobility concerns. Particularly beneficial for active individuals seeking performance enhancement and injury prevention through improved muscular coordination.
Prenatal Massage
Certified therapists provide specialized care for expectant mothers using modified positioning for comfort and safety. Sessions focus on reducing swelling, relieving lower back pain, and preparing the body for labor through gentle scalp massage and strategic pressure points. Postnatal recovery support available with physician approval.
Couples Massage
Simultaneous treatments for two guests in a shared wellness space. Therapists customize individual sessions while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere. Ideal for romantic partners, friends, or family members seeking synchronized relaxation experiences with personalized therapeutic benefits tailored to each recipient's specific needs.

Questions
What makes Ashiatsu barefoot massage different from traditional techniques?
Ashiatsu uses the therapist's feet to apply broader, deeper pressure than hands can achieve. This technique treats all tissue layers simultaneously while creating a unique relaxation response through downward pressure that signals the nervous system to enter rest mode.
Can I receive massage therapy after surgery?
Yes, with physician approval. We recommend waiting at least two weeks post-surgery before scheduling. Therapists will modify techniques to accommodate healing tissues while promoting recovery through targeted circulation enhancement and scar tissue management.
How should I prepare for a therapeutic massage session?
Arrive relaxed and hydrated. Communicate any specific concerns during the initial consultation. For Ashiatsu or deep tissue sessions, avoid strenuous activity beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing for stretch therapy appointments and allow 15 minutes for post-massage reorientation.
What payment and cancellation policies apply?
Credit card required for booking. Cancellations within 24 hours incur 50% fee; no-shows charged 75%. Gift cards available for purchase but non-refundable. Insurance not accepted, but receipts provided for potential reimbursement.
Are there specialized options for athletes or active individuals?
Yes, we offer sports massage techniques focusing on major joints and muscle groups. Stretch therapy sessions improve mobility while deep tissue treatments address overuse injuries. Therapists customize approaches for pre-event preparation and post-activity recovery based on individual training demands.
How do I choose between therapeutic and Ashiatsu massage?
Therapeutic sessions use hands-on techniques with adjustable pressure levels. Ashiatsu employs foot-based pressure for deeper tissue work. Therapists will recommend appropriate modalities based on your comfort level, specific needs, and treatment goals during the initial consultation.
