Deep Tissue Massage
Pregnancy massage helps relieve common discomforts like back pain, swollen ankles, and muscle tension. It improves circulation, promotes relaxation, and reduces stress and anxiety. By enhancing flexibility and reducing pelvic tension, it also helps prepare the body for labor. Overall, pregnancy massage supports both physical and emotional well-being for expectant mothers, promoting a deeper connection between mother and baby.

This 2-hour postpartum treatment offers nurturing support for physical and emotional healing after birth. It combines massage, gentle abdominal wrapping, and the traditional Closing the Bones ritual—a deeply restorative practice that supports the realignment of the hips and pelvis, encourages energetic closure, and helps the body return to a sense of wholeness.
The treatment helps relieve tension, ease soreness, and promote relaxation and grounding. While especially supportive in the early postpartum period, it can also be deeply healing months or even years after birth, and offers a compassionate space for those navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, or pregnancy loss.
A gentle return to self—feeling held, supported, and honored.

Tui Na is a therapeutic massage that uses a combination of rhythmic strokes, acupressure, and gentle manipulation to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. It helps improve circulation, alleviate pain, and promote the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body. Tui Na is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, stress, digestive issues, and tension. By balancing energy and promoting relaxation, Tui Na supports overall well-being, reduces chronic pain, and enhances the body’s ability to heal itself naturally.

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that works into the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues to release chronic tension and tightness. Using slow, focused pressure, it helps break down adhesions—commonly known as knots—and restores movement in stiff or overworked areas. This type of massage is especially beneficial for those experiencing ongoing muscle pain, limited mobility, or recovery from physical strain.
Beyond relieving pain and tension, deep tissue massage also improves circulation, supports better posture, enhances flexibility, and promotes faster healing. It can also help reduce stress by calming the nervous system, making it a powerful option for both physical relief and mental relaxation.
