Services

Relaxation Massage

This therapeutic treatment smooths away tension, improves circulation, and relieves physical and emotional stress through customized pressure techniques. Clients communicate preferences beforehand while therapists use professional judgment to ensure optimal results. Sessions available in 30-120 minute durations.

Deep Tissue Massage

Designed for specific muscle areas, this deeper pressure technique combines Swedish relaxation methods with targeted work on problem areas. Longer sessions allow therapists to address chronic tension patterns while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness through blended modalities during 30-120 minute appointments.

Maya Abdominal Therapy

This specialized treatment corrects organ positioning to restore blood flow, lymph movement, and nerve energy patterns. It addresses digestive issues and reproductive system congestion through gentle manipulation techniques developed through Arvigo Institute training, available in 60 or 90-minute sessions.

Craniosacral Therapy

A gentle approach focusing on cerebrospinal fluid rhythms to release central nervous system restrictions. Particularly beneficial for head trauma recovery and chronic pain management, this therapy uses subtle techniques grounded in anatomical principles rather than energy work, offered by certified practitioners.

Chinese Meridian Treatments

Combines cupping, Gua Sha, and moxibustion techniques to balance Qi energy along traditional meridians. Practitioners harmonize yin-yang energies through targeted stimulation of energy points, either as standalone sessions or complementary treatments integrated with other massage styles.

I've gone to them twice. Both times pregnant and they are amazing! I don't remember my first one, but Madelyn was the one who massaged me recently. It was so much needed and she hit every point! Even spots I thought was not needed! Boy was I glad I didn't decide to cancel because I almost did. Madelyn definitely helped me feel comfortable and didn't rush me at all. She even made sure the amount of pressure was what I wanted. I felt so much better afterwards!

I have been getting great massages from therapist Tracy Heron Moore for several years now. The Massage Place is also a nature preserve. I enjoy seeing deer, squirrels and birds out back before my massage each month.

Gabe is amazing! I started coming here soon after I began a stressful job and I was trying to do some self care. The strain from work really takes a toll on my posture and my neck starts cramping so bad my fingers go numb from it. Gabe works on fasciae relief and really breaks up the tension in my body. He does a great job. I walk out of there a completely different person and people definitely notice it on how I walk. Gabe can apply the pressure if you need it but unlike other massages he can really ease the knots and provide relief without peeling you off the ceiling if you know what I mean.

No matter which therapist I see at The Massage Place, the experience is always a good one. Comfortable waiting area, therapists have good listening skills and adjust as necessary, I've even fallen asleep once (Sorry!).

I had my first massage with Tracy today. All I can say is that Tracy is AMAZING! She has an intuitive touch and really understands both the body and spirit. I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of this experience. I will definitely go again, and again.

I had the massage of a lifetime. Dawnovin was awesome. I've never had anything like it and I've been getting massages for a very long time. The ambience and the rooms, and the gentle feel of the massage place is ideal for anybody needing a relaxing massage. This place is incredible. I am from Los Angeles and I would be back to Olympia just to get a massage from Dawnovin.
