MASSAGE THERAPY

AN EVIDENCE-BASED PATH TO BALANCE MIND AND BODY

Unwind with expert massage designed to relieve tension, improve mobility, and support mental & physical wellness.

WHY MASSAGE THERAPY MATTERS FOR MENTAL & PHYSICAL HEALTH

Mental health: Massage reduces sympathetic arousal and supports a shift toward parasympathetic calm. Many clients experience less anxiety, better mood, and improved sleep quality as muscle guarding and pain decrease.

Physical health: By improving circulation and easing restrictions in muscle and fascia, massage can relieve headaches and TMJ tension, increase range of motion, and accelerate post-exercise or post-surgery recovery.

  • Downshifts stress reactivity and supports vagal tone
  • Releases muscle tension; helps headaches, TMJ, and neck/shoulder tightness
  • Improves circulation and lymph flow for recovery and reduced soreness
  • Supports deeper sleep and daytime energy
  • Complements psychotherapy for stress, trauma, and grief

WHAT IS MASSAGE THERAPY?

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that eases muscle tension, improves circulation, and restores balance in the nervous system. Sessions are tailored—from light, relaxing pressure to deeper, therapeutic work—to match your goals and comfort.

Your therapist collaborates with you on pressure, focus areas, and techniques (Swedish, myofascial, craniosacral elements, hot towels, and optional hot stones) so you leave feeling calm, mobile, and restored.

  • Customized pressure and focus areas based on your goals
  • Therapeutic options for chronic pain, migraines, and stiffness
  • Comfort-first approach with clear communication and consent
