BODY AND WELLNESS TREATMENTS

The healing power of physical human touch

As one of the oldest healing traditions, massage has gifted us with an incredible tool for stress reduction, pain relief, as well as a myriad of other benefits.  The immediate feeling of deep relaxation and calm that envelopes the body and mind is the powerful result of a decrease in stress hormones, coupled with a surge in endorphins – the brain chemicals that produce feelings of wellbeing.

Experience the benefits of one of our various massages as a standalone treatment or add it on as an enhancement to any other treatment.

Ayurvedic Indian Head Massage

A Healing Upper Body Treatment

This beautiful massage technique originating from India is a traditional practice that is becoming increasingly popular amongst Western cultures — and for good reason! Luxurious oils nourish and promote the health of the skin, hair and scalp.  A typical treatment starts with the shoulders, upper back and shoulder blades. We then move up the neck, massaging and stretching to relieve stress and tension. Lastly, the scalp is massaged along the acupressure points on the head, and followed up by the forehead and the area around the eyes.

Please Note: Oils are optional

Gua Sha Facial Massage

Lift | Sculpt | Drain

Gua Sha massage may seem like the latest beauty trend, but it is actually rooted in Chinese medicine, dating back thousands of years.  Although known for its ability to provide a natural facelift, the benefits of Gua Sha massage go far beyond aesthetics. Included in the treatment is a massage of the face, neck, shoulders and decolotte.

Relaxation Massage

Aromatherapy

We already know the important role that touch can play in providing much-needed relaxation. Combining a few of the most powerful massage techniques into one treatment, this full-body relaxation massage is a client favorite! The calming properties of plant-based aromas, also known as essential oils, further enhance the experience by allowing for a deeper state of relaxation. The treatment is completed with soothing, hot towels to ease pain and melt away tension.

MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle massage technique with powerful effects on the body. Increasing in popularity in recent years, MLD has become a widely used treatment with applications in both aesthetics and wellness. The goal of MLD is to ensure lymphatic pathways become decongested and lymphatic fluid is cleared. This in turn enhances immune system function, increases tissue metabolism, promotes nutrition to the tissues, idealizes detoxification functions, establishes optimal fluid balance, reduces pain, and induces deep relaxation for those with psychological stress.

For post-surgical patients and cancer survivors, surgery or radiation often causes damage to the lymph nodes and vessels. The repercussions prevent them from clearing fluid, subsequently resulting in swelling. MLD helps these patients as it re-establishes optimal fluid balance.
