Massage Therapy
The Art of Touch
Massage Therapy is one of the most ancient of healing arts. It is an incredibly effective tool for your total health and wellness. Here are some of the basic benefits of massage therapy:
- Improved Circulation
- Increased flexibility
- Decreased pain and/or inflammation
- Balanced blood pressure (over time)
- Greater sense of wellbeing
- Increased self awareness
There are literally thousands of styles of massage applications to meet your body’s specific needs.
Massage Therapy sessions are tailored to your needs and recommendations will be made by the therapist based on your health history and therapy goals (if applicable). Please ensure you communicate openly with your therapist for the best experience.
Why are there different sets of prices? All of our therapists are state licensed however, some therapists have more years of experience and continuing education so we feel it is important to acknowledge this accomplishment. Every therapist has their own style and expertise and we encourage you to try them all!
Not sure where to start your journey towards better health? Massage Therapy is a great starting point! All of our therapists are highly trained and experienced and can help you connect with your own body and to better understand its functions. We work as a team so if any one of the practitioners feels you may benefit from seeing a different therapist or a different service, they will encourage you.

Special Modalities Offered
Myofascial Release
Our owner Kris has been specializing in this type of bodywork since 2000. This intentional fascial unwind experience is best for encouraging lasting change in the body. Used most often for cases involving pain or long term holding patterns limiting range of motion. This approach is different than your typical massage therapy session. If you are seeking a more serious shift in your soft tissue, this could be the technique for you!
Reflexology
In this approach we use the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine to create opportunity for change in the whole body via the hands and mostly feet. The idea is the whole body is "reflected" in the ears, hands, and feet and by working on the feet and hands we can impact any and all systems of the body. Think the best foot massage you've ever had, plus it may help that headache or digestive issue along. Perfect for people who prefer to remain clothed or feel a little nervous about being touched. Also excellent to encourage organ function, natural detoxification, and improved lymphatic flow.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
This style of massage is specialized using very light rhythmic pressure to stimulate the lymphatic system. This stimulation can help remove toxins, reduce pain and swelling from excess fluids, improve immune function, and aid in surgical recovery. Depending on the severity of the imbalance, this approach is best done with several sessions a week or so apart. Your practitioner will also give you some self care practices you can do at home to aid in your progress.
