The Benefits of massage

Current research is beginning to validate what many clients already know. Not only does massage feel good, it is good for you.  Massage is an ancient form of healing, used for thousands of years to offer relief from pain, to restore good spirits, and to rejuvenate muscles.  Massage uses touch to bring about emotional and physical changes.  Massage actually encourages the natural healing process of the body, calms the mind, and settles the emotions.  It is the perfect antidote to stress.  The tactile action of massage has a great many useful effects:

  • Relieve accumulated tension in muscles

  • Restore flexibility

  • Increase range of motion

  • Improve circulation

  • Reduce pain and inflammation

  • Encourage relaxation and stress release

Notes about your visit

First visits should arrive 10 minutes prior to treatment to allow time for an initial health assessment.

  • You will be asked to remove your eye glasses and any jewelry you are wearing.

  • A 24 hour cancellation notice is greatly appreciated.

  • Complimentary bottled water is available, as our way of encouraging you to drink plenty of water following your treatment.

  • This is your time to relax and escape. Please turn off your phone and pager. During your massage if you like chatting, we'll chat. But if you prefer to relax in silence, we want you to feel comfortable doing so.

  • Your comfort is of utmost importance to me. If at any time during your massage you are uncomfortable with your temperature, amount of lubricant, or the pressure being used, please say so.
