Acupuncture

The use of Acupuncture is a healing modality within the living wisdom traditions of Chinese Medicine.  Acupuncture is the use of one or more single use, sterilized, filiform needles or mechanical devices, on or through the skin to prevent or modify the perception of pain or to normalize physiological functions. Points may be needled at depths ranging from superficial to deep, and retained for any length of time, as determined to be necessary for the condition being treated. Acupuncture includes, but is not limited to, both local and distal points, and takes into account the patient’s overall constitution for prevention, maintenance and corrective care from acute to chronic conditions.

Reiki

The intention in a Reiki session is to create deep relaxation, help quicken healing, and reduce pain. Reiki is a non-touch therapy and ideal for those seeking a non-contact therapeutic experience. 

Yoga Therapy

A Yoga Therapist works with you to address specific goals while considering any constraints you might be experiencing, with consideration of the whole body.

Swedish Massage

 The perfect massage for first-time clients and those who simply want to relax. Techniques are applied with light to medium pressure and are especially useful for managing stress, tension relief, and circulation improvement.

When reserving your session, you book by duration, not session type. We encourage you to discuss your outcome goals with your therapist upon arrival to your session to determine what technique is best for you.

Deep Tissue Massage

A rigorous massage that uses a deeper, heavier pressure. Focus is given to pressure points and muscle adhesions. Attentive kneading assists in relieving muscles of accumulated tension and encourages the release of knots. Useful for clients with consistent pain and those who engage in heavy physical activity.
