Services
Ashiatsu
Our Ashiatsu therapy uses controlled foot pressure to deliver deep-tissue relaxation. Therapists employ overhead bars for precise leverage, enhancing circulation and reducing muscle tension. This technique effectively flushes lactic acid buildup from physical activity while providing therapeutic stretching.
Cupping Therapy
Traditional Chinese Fire Cupping creates gentle suction to release muscle tightness and improve blood flow. We use this technique to treat chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair through enhanced circulation and tissue oxygenation.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Targeted Neuromuscular Therapy addresses soft tissue dysfunction through focused pressure on trigger points. This method corrects muscular imbalances, alleviates nerve compression, and resolves postural distortions through systematic myofascial release.
Swedish Relaxation
Our Swedish Relaxation technique combines long strokes and kneading motions to improve overall wellness. This foundational therapy reduces stress, enhances lymphatic drainage, and promotes general muscle relaxation through rhythmic, flowing movements.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release addresses connective tissue restrictions using sustained pressure techniques. This therapy improves mobility, reduces chronic pain patterns, and restores natural tissue elasticity through gradual fascial manipulation.

Fantastic massage. Katrina was professional, insightful, and skilled at her art of massage. She explained to me exactly what muscle groups she would be targeting during my massage using a chart to show me and I walked away feeling amazing. Already recommended her to my coworkers!

Katrina was amazing and did a great job working out the soreness from my car accident; She was strong and responded quickly to any pain. She listened well and gave me suggestions and exercises to try at home. I will definitely be going back!
