Swedish Massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation using a combination of a medium pressure, kneading, rolling, vibration, percussive and tapping movements to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.
$130/60 minutes $170/90 minutes
Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissues in an effort to release chronic patterns of tension. The technique uses many of the same strokes as Swedish with a much slower pace combined with the application of firm pressure and use of friction work across the muscle fiber direction. Being that this massage moves at a much slower pace 60 minute sessions are used for 2-3 focus areas (e.g. neck, shoulders, and back) whereas 90 minute sessions are designed for full body.
$160/60 minutes $200/90 minutes
Personalized Massage takes into consideration that every body is different and they come with different needs. This massage session uses a combination of techniques tailored to the specific needs of the individual. If considering this type of bodywork please make note of any areas of discomfort, what particular motions may aggravate the area, and description of the discomfort (e.g. local or radiating in any direction, dull, achy, sharp, electric). This additional information helps the massage therapist isolate what may be causing the issue.

Side-by-Side Massage is a great way to enjoy time with someone special. Although it can be considered a romantic occasion, side-by-side massage can also be seen as a time to bond and relax with a dear friend or family member. The idea is to bring people closer as they let stress slip away.
