Types of Massage

Swedish Massage (Relaxation): This is adaptable pressure to the client.  A total and complete relaxation massage.  Strokes are matched with the breath and heartbeat to put the client in a very relaxed state of mind.  Most experience a euphoric/dream state of mind, upwards to an hour.

Swedish Deep Tissue Massage: Combines oils, long strokes and trigger point work to release pain in muscles.  This can be combined with a relaxing pressure to the body.

Reflexology:  A westernized version combining European, Japanese, Indian and Chinese techniques.  Can be viewed as "Swedish Massage for Feet" incorporated with Acupressure techniques.

Thai Reflexology:  Rooted in Yoga, Traditional Thai medicine and Chinese medicine.  It is the "Deep Tissue" of foot reflexology.  More results and benefits are received, as deeper pressure is involved.

Thai Yoga Bodywork:  Combines manipulated yoga poses and acupressure techniques to release blockages or chronic pain in the body.  This is a full body stretch, done on the floor via a futon or table, and most people experience a feeling of being light and balanced.

Therapeutic Thai Yoga Bodywork:  Takes Thai Yoga Bodywork in a new direction while incorporating the same techniques.  Customized for ailments or chronic pains of a patient, and focuses on freeing that are of pain.
