Custom Massage Therapy

Custom Massage Therapy is a tailored massage to meet the specific needs and preferences of an individual. This massage is what you are looking for if you are seeking Deep Tissue/ Sports Massage type bodywork, as well as integrating all other modalities learned. It involves a personalized approach where the massage therapist adjusts the techniques, pressure, and focus areas based on the client's unique requirements.

In most spas they will charge two separate prices for Relaxation Massage or Therapeutic Deep Tissue. We choose not to charge more for the deep bodywork in the massage session.

Relaxation Therapy Massage

This massage is excellent for mental emotional stress and to quiet the mind. A relaxation/Swedish massage is a gentle treatment that relieves muscular tension, increases circulation, and promotes a general sense of relaxation.

This Massage is a smooth, gentle treatment that relieves muscular tension, increases circulation, and promotes a general sense of relaxation. Unlike deep tissue massages, a relaxation massage does not address the connective tissue of the muscles. It is not intended to treat sports injuries or other discomfort and is instead used to reduce muscle tension while bringing the body back to a relaxed state.

Pregnancy or Prenatal Massage

It is recommended that a prenatal client come after 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you are pregnant please only book the 1 hour Prenatal Massage option. Our policy is that ONLY a certified prenatal massage therapist is allowed to perform the knowledgeable prenatal massage in our practice.

The benefits of prenatal massage or massage during pregnancy: 

Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. 

Massage therapy addresses different needs through varying techniques, one of which is called Swedish Massage, which aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation through mild pressure applied to the muscle groups of the body. Swedish Massage is the recommended prenatal massage method during pregnancy because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts during pregnancy. 

Hormone regulation

Studies done in the past years have shown that hormone levels associated with relaxation and stress are significantly altered, leading to mood regulation and improved cardiovascular health, when massage therapy was introduced to women’s prenatal care. In women who received bi-weekly massages for only five weeks, hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol (“stress hormones”) were reduced and dopamine and serotonin levels were increased (low levels of these hormones are associated with depression). These changes in hormone levels also led to fewer complications during birth and fewer instances of newborn complications, such as low birth weight. The evidence points strongly to maternal and newborn health benefits when therapeutic massage is incorporated into regular prenatal care.

  Reduction of swelling

Edema, or swelling of the joints during pregnancy, is often caused by reduced circulation and increased pressure on the major blood vessels by the heavy uterus. Massage helps to stimulate soft tissues to reduce collection of fluids in swollen joints, which also improves the removal of tissue waste, carried by the body’s lymph system. 

Improvement of nerve pain

Sciatic nerve pain is experienced by many women in late pregnancy as the uterus rests on muscles of the pelvic floor and lower back. The pressure of the uterus spreads tension to the muscles of the upper and lower leg, causing them to swell and put pressure on nearby nerves. Massage therapy addresses the inflamed nerves by helping to release the tension on nearby muscles. Many women have experienced significant reduction in sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy through regular massage.

Other potential benefits of prenatal massage:

• Reduced back pain

• Reduced joint pain

• Improved circulation

• Reduced edema

• Reduced muscle tension and headaches

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Improved oxygenation of soft tissues and muscles

• Better sleep

Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi Massage

A Lomi-lomi massage helps to connect all areas of the body to work as one and offers a way for your body to communicate with you by reigniting the life force. Physically it eases muscle pain, increases circulation, helps to draw out toxins and promotes relaxation and well-being. For centuries the ancient art of Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi Massage has been used as a powerful tool for maintaining a healthy way of life. The massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. Some people have described this as feeling like gentle waves moving over the body.

Another feature is that different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time, for example one arm or hand may be working on a shoulder and another hand may be working on the opposite hip.  This assists the client in totally relaxing as it is impossible or at least extremely difficult for the brain to focus on the two different areas at once.  By not working on areas in isolation a deep sense of balance and harmony is achieved.  

Another major difference from other types of massages is that with Lomi Lomi, the client lays directly on the massage table and not on a towel or sheet under them.  There is a top sheet and the clients’ modesty is maintained.  This makes it a lot easier to perform the under body movements and full body strokes without interrupting the flow of the Lomi Lomi massage.  You may be thinking this may get cold for the client, but a heater is used in the room to maintain a warm temperature for the client.  Gentle stretches of the body and gentle rotations of the joints are also a part of the wonderful massage.
