PREGNACY/POSTPARTUM
let us support you during this special time.
Prenatal massage therapy focuses on promoting maternal health & wellness, easing the physical discomforts of pregnancy, and improving mental health. Benefits can include: pain reduction, improved mood, reduced symptoms of stress, and an increase in the feeling of wellbeing.
Receiving regular massage therapy during pregnancy has shown benefits for both mother & baby. Massage therapy promotes wellbeing by both mother and baby receiving feel good hormones and lower cortisol levels, with evidence supporting a decrease in premature labour and a higher birthweight.
INFANT MASSAGE & INSTRUCTION SESSION
It is a great way to gently nurture and spend time with your baby. It encourages attachment between mother and baby, can reduce caregiver stress, and promotes bonding. Regular infant massage can help baby relax, positively effect the feel good hormones, reduce cortisol levels, and promote growth, weight gain, and development. Session includes hands on instruction for caregiver(s).
DEEP TISSUE & THERAPUTIC MASSAGE THERAPY
Using a moderate/deeper pressure and specific targeted area(s), this massage utilizes POSTURAL REALIGNMENT for long term relief and improvement of chronic tissue adhesions. It focuses on releasing and realigning the superficial and deeper layer muscles, ligaments, joint capsules, and fascial lines. It is especially helpful for chronic pain and contracted areas such stiff neck, shoulder, back, and leg muscle tightness.
CRAINAL & SCALP & TMJ
Focus: HEAD/NECK/SHOULDERS/JAW. Addresses the muscles/joints of mastication, facial muscles, occipital tendon attachments, cranial suture lines, and includes upper back. It promotes a reduction of muscle tension, headaches, jaw pain, and can improve alignment. It can be deeply therapeutic and sedating.
SPORTS THERAPY & INJURY TREATMENT
Treatment focuses on scar tissue release, acute pain management, joint mobility, client education, and homecare. It focuses on specific INJURIES, AREAS, & JOINTS. Rehabilitation and proper ergonomics are used to prevent reinjury and promote healing.
CUPPING THERAPY - Add On
CUPPING is an alternative therapy originating in China. It involves placing silicone or plastic cups on the skin to create a suction, also called Negative Pressure Massage. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This can help scar tissue adhesions, relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, increase tissue flexibility, and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissue and create new blood vessels in the tissues.

This massage is smooth and moderately paced with a repetitive flowing style that focuses on sedation and wellbeing as its ultimate outcome. It is a wonderful option for those looking to reduce anxiety and stress and its affects on the body. It relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, and mobility.
NEW! KINESOP TAPING
Benefits:
Pain Relief
Its elasticity lifts the skin slightly, which immediately reduces pressure on sensitive pain receptors under the skin. In addition, its stimulating effect on pain pathways provides a competitive stimulus that blocks pain signals going to the brain.
Reduced Swelling and Inflammation
Reduced pressure on the lymphatic drainage channels enhances removal of fluids and other materials that collect in an injured area.
Accelerated Recovery from Bruises and Contusions
One of the most dramatic effects of kinesiology taping is the removal of blood that accumulates under the skin due to bruising. The k-tape is applied in a fan pattern over the bruised area and the bruising is dissipated via the same lifting mechanism described above.
Prevents and/or Relieves Muscle Spasms and Cramping
Enhanced circulation improves delivery of oxygen and nutrients to overused or fatigued muscles, helping to prevent or relieve spasms and cramps.
Speedier Recovery of Overused Muscles
Fatigued, overused muscles contain byproducts of exercise (such as lactic acid) that contribute to pain and stiffness and limit the ability to continue exercising. When kinesiology tape is used over these areas, enhanced removal of these byproducts allows for more rapid recovery. Combined with improved delivery of oxygen via enhanced bloodflow, this could translate into improved performance in an endurance event or more complete recovery between repetitive, high intensity events.
Supports Injured Muscles and Joints without Restricting Range of Motion
The unique elastic properties and application techniques of kinesiology tape allow it to provide support to injured muscles or joints without restricting range of motion.
Enhances Strength and Muscle Tone in Weak or Poorly-Toned Muscles
Certain disorders can make muscles so weak that it is almost impossible to do the exercises that are critical to improve daily functioning. Kinesiology tape not only provides support to these muscles, but it can also improve muscle activation, allowing therapeutic exercises to be carried out more effectively.
