75 and 90 minute massages customized to target precisely what issues your unique body is experiencing at the moment using a variety of modalities including Deep Tissue Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Hot Stones, Reiki, Swedish Massage, and Reflexology. I build in a 5 minute check in at the beginning of each appointment so we can come up with a treatment plan together for how best to approach the session.
Why is there no 60 minute option? I find it really hard to get through a whole body with as much attention as I would prefer in only one hour, and so I chose to not do that, I'm certainly willing to schedule a 60 minute massage if you have a limited amount of time but please be aware that if you want any focused work we may have to skimp elsewhere.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant people. Pregnancy is a time when the body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting parent, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. Pregnancy massage also avoids working on contraindicated points that could potentially induce labor too early, however, with your doctor or midwife's support I am more than happy to use them to encourage the start of the birthing process for birthing parents who have passed their due date.

This is a targeted massage for busy folks who don't need a full body massage but are looking for relief in one particular area.
I deeply believe that massage is an essential piece of wellness for everyone, not just a luxury for those who can afford it, and so it has always been important to me to make sure that my practice remain financially accessible to people who need it. If the lower end of my sliding scale still feels unattainable please don't hesitate to contact me and we can figure out something that works for you.
This is a 60 minute Deep Tissue or Swedish massage with some focused targeted work on problem areas.
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
I am also always happy to bring reiki into any massage treatment at no extra charge.
Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.
Add an additional 15 minutes of reflexology to any other treatment!

Chair massage is a popular way of relieving stress and releasing tension right in your home or workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Also, chair massage sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
