Massage is more than just relaxation.

Massage can help ease muscle tension and soreness, improve mobility, support circulation, and give your body and mind a chance to slow down and reset.

But massage doesn’t have to feel like just another appointment on your calendar. I believe taking care of yourself should feel like an experience.

My goal is to provide personalized therapeutic care in a comfortable, relaxing environment where you can step away from the demands of everyday life and simply enjoy being taken care of.

You probably know our bodies are not well suited for many of our modern professions.
But did you know that the repetitive movements or stagnant positions that make up many jobs can lead to tight fascia and musculature that can restrict blood flow, compress nerves, and pull our spine out of alignment?
What are we to do when our very lively hoods sacrifice our daily comfort?
Stop trying to stretch your neck out while wondering if you're helping or hurting the situation.

I can help you.

Routine massage combined with myofascial release techniques can restore those locked up and aching muscles. It can give you back your range of motion and help you move your body without pain.

Routine massage is also never been more affordable. With new frequent flyer discount where I automatically give you 20% OFF if I've worked with you in the past 2 months!

(Just to let you know. You could pay for a 20 minute Chair massage then, every massage ((20,30,60,75,90 minutes)) after that is 20% off as long as it is with in 2 months of your last massage!!! 20% off makes my hour massage $80! Thats cheaper than chain places and I'm WAY better.)

Not sure which of my services fits you best?

A chair massage is best for head/neck/arm ailments. Shoulders can be helped in a chair massage but it's tricky and often incomplete. Chair massage can often be a quick relaxation experience without un******ng.

Swedish massage (60,75min) is great for a relaxing/treat-yourself experience. It can be tricky to treat specific ailments in a 60 minute time frame while giving the client a head-toe treatment.
However, if a client would only like their upper body worked 60 minutes is the perfect time frame.

Therapeutic Massage (75,90) Specific pains and ailments require myofascial release for proper treatment. These longer time frames allow for this time consuming treatment while also providing head- toe massage.

TMD/MIGRAINE treatments aim to release the muscles of the head/neck/face. Clients with specific complaints of Jaw Pain can expect my facial release treatments to the affected musculature.

Still not sure? Interested in injectable therapies?
Call/text me anytime!
