DEEP TISSUE AND RELAXATION MASSAGE
An Ancient Science
Deep Tissue Massage employs slow and steady pressure to sooth and relax the muscles. It is is a corrective technique that "irons out" adhesions formed within the muscle fibers due to postural deviations and holding patterns that people develope over their lifetime. The slow, gradual pressure readies the body to accept deeper work thereby accelerating the healing process.

Relaxation Massage sessions focus soothing the nervous system, integrating techniques from Cranio-Sacral Therapy [CST], Shiatsu, and Swedish massage disciplines. The intent is to disengage from the body's "Fight or Flight" response.
THAI YOGA MASSAGE
Natural Healing
Thai yoga bodywork is a more dynamic form of massage. It allows the receiver to be passively stretched while comfortably clothed on a mat on the floor. It is an ancient healing art proven to restore vitality and ensure relaxation. Thai bodywork assist in furthering the flexibility of the receiver with a series of stretches that flow like a dance. There are also elements of rocking, compression, and rhythmic tapping. Thai bodywork can be very transportable and casual.
