A HOLISTIC BODYWORK STUDIO PROVIDING MANUAL AND SOMATIC THERAPIES.
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
The bulk of clients require therapeutic deep tissue massage, which is physical manipulation of soft tissue. It’s a traditional massage, in which the primary focus is on the muscular skeletal and nervous systems.
HOLISTIC BODYWORK
The basis of this modality is therapeutic massage while taking additional considerations for holistic healing and the sessions are typically built upon with consecutive treatments.
SOMATIC THERAPY
Somatic therapy can be particularly helpful for individuals who have experienced trauma or other forms of emotional distress, as it provides a safe and supportive space to explore and heal from these experiences.
In this space we may find releif from physical pain, spiritual enlightenment, or simply a one hour reprieve from our complex human existence.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
FAQ
-
How often should I get a massage?
Generally it is recommended to get a massage once or twice a month. However, weekly massage may be beneficial for more acute muscle issues. If it has been a long time since you’ve received a massage, it may take a few sessions to bring your body back into alignment.
-
How will I feel after the massage?
Relaxed. It is common to feel emotional release after a massage, such as crying or wanting to scream. This is a sign that we have moved things through your body and you should embrace this! It’s important to be gentle with yourself, no strenuous movement, and lots of water are all helpful. If you received deep tissue work, you may feel a little sore or tender the day or two after your massage. This is completely normal and should dissipate within a day or two.
-
Is it painful? Will it hurt?
No. However, some deep tissue work may be uncomfortable. If you experience discomfort during the massage it is important to speak up and tell your therapist. Taking a few deep breaths can also be helpful in releasing any discomfort.
