Massage Therapy

Swedish massage can bring you into a blissful state of relaxation. Your massage therapist accomplishes this with long, gliding strokes, gentle kneading, and active and passive movements of the muscles. Blending light and deep strokes, Swedish massage works by reducing tension, alleviating muscle soreness, and improving circulation and overall energy. Your therapist will help you to select the correct aromatic essential oil to help balance your specific mind/body needs. (Available without aromatics at your request)

Perfect for chronic muscle discomfort, knots and tension, Deep Tissue Massage is performed with hands, forearms and elbow. This enables the therapist to reach deeper muscle layers and connective tissues that have absorbed physical injury and emotional stress. The intensity and pressure of deep-tissue work also increases the flow of blood and oxygen, relieves tension at the core of tight muscles, and helps reduce inflammation and pain. Ideal for sports related stresses and tensions.

This specialized body therapy combines massage with the use of smooth hot basalt lava stones and chilled marble stones. The hot and cold rocks encourage blood flow through the muscle tissues which flushes toxins and triggers the body's self healing mechanisms. LaStone Therapy not only gives you a deep sense of relaxation but it also relieves chronic pain and reduces stress.

A Pre-Natal Massage won't just relax you, it can also increase your energy level and relieve discomfort from the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy. Your SkinSpirit therapist will use a body-contoured pillow table for your extra comfort and therapeutic benefit. In the later trimesters of your pregnancy you can request a side-lying or seated position for your treatment.

A Post-Natal Massage helps speed up the post-pregnancy healing process by increasing circulation and aiding in the stabilization of hormonal activity. Light, gentle stroking motions increase circulation, eliminate toxins and help reduce post-delivery swelling.

Lymphatic drainage is a hands-on technique designed to improve circulation, oxygenate the skin, and decrease swelling (edemas) of the body. The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to the body's ability to detoxify and regenerate tissues, filter out toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system. Lymphatic Drainage is an excellent complement to body contouring, and post-liposuction patients often get this gentle yet invigorating massage to help reduce scar tissue formation.
