Services

Therapeutic Massage

Our signature therapeutic massage combines multiple techniques tailored to individual needs. This service addresses chronic pain, injury recovery, and stress relief through customized sessions that may include deep tissue work, myofascial release, or craniosacral therapy. Ideal for clients seeking personalized treatment plans that evolve with their changing health goals.

Myofascial Release

Specialized myofascial release targets connective tissue restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. Using sustained pressure and stretching techniques, this therapy alleviates chronic tension patterns, improves posture, and restores natural movement. Particularly effective for clients with fibromyalgia, TMJ disorders, or post-surgical scar tissue complications.

Deep Tissue Massage

Focused deep tissue massage addresses chronic muscle tension and adhesions through targeted pressure techniques. This service breaks down scar tissue, improves circulation, and relieves persistent pain points in areas like the neck, back, and shoulders. Recommended for clients with repetitive strain injuries or chronic postural imbalances.

Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle craniosacral therapy uses light touch to release restrictions in the central nervous system's protective membranes. This subtle yet powerful technique reduces migraine frequency, alleviates stress-related disorders, and improves cerebrospinal fluid flow. Beneficial for clients with neurological conditions or trauma recovery needs.

Pregnancy Massage

Certified pregnancy massage supports expectant mothers through all trimesters with specialized positioning and technique adjustments. This service addresses common discomforts like back pain, swelling, and stress while promoting circulation and relaxation. Includes tailored prenatal consent protocols and safety considerations for maternal well-being.

Questions

What makes therapeutic massage different from relaxation massage?

Therapeutic massage focuses on specific musculoskeletal issues and pain management through targeted techniques, while relaxation massage primarily aims to reduce general stress without specific treatment goals.

How should I prepare for my first myofascial release session?

Consider your pain sources and timeline before arrival. We'll discuss your medical history and specific goals during an initial consultation to create your personalized treatment plan.

Are deep tissue massages always painful?

Effective deep tissue work should feel therapeutic, not painful. Our practitioners adjust pressure based on your tolerance and communicate throughout the session to ensure optimal comfort and results.

Can craniosacral therapy help with migraines?

Yes, our clients report significant reduction in migraine frequency and intensity through gentle craniosacral techniques that improve cerebrospinal fluid flow and nervous system function.

What prenatal massage precautions should I take?

All expectant mothers complete a prenatal consent form. We avoid certain techniques during high-risk pregnancies and modify positioning for comfort and safety in later trimesters.

How many lymphatic drainage sessions are typically needed?

Treatment plans vary, but most clients see improvement within 3-6 sessions. Chronic conditions may require ongoing maintenance while post-surgical clients often need 1-3 focused sessions.

I have always been very skeptical of massages. I've been to other places a few times and the results have been short-term, at best. My wife scheduled this for me so I went out of courtesy with low expectations. After just one session I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, literally. I'm shocked it made such a massive difference after only one session. I have already scheduled 3 more over the next few months. So worth it!

Felicia is a professional. I had some chronic issues and after years of regular massages, they would keep coming back. It was evident she was very knowledgeable in the first session and I felt better immediately. If you want results, this is the place.

Felicia is an amazingly knowledgeable massage therapist. She really takes the time to understand what your goals are and helps you reach them. The services she offers are top notch and offers some that are hard to find (manual lymphatic drainage and craniosacral therapy). Her website is extremely educating and breaks down each type of massage she offers so you can make an informed decision (Felicia will also help decide what would be most beneficial). I 100% recommend seeing her for not only relaxation, but for results! Thank you, Felicia!
