Restorative Bodywork Massage is a customized therapeutic treatment designed to help relieve pain, restore movement, and support the body's natural healing process. Combining a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs, this session addresses chronic tension, muscle imbalances, stress, and areas of discomfort while promoting overall wellness and relaxation.

Whether you're recovering from physical strain, dealing with everyday aches and pains, or simply seeking to feel more comfortable in your body, restorative bodywork works to improve mobility, reduce tension, and create lasting relief.

Lymphatic Drainage

$140 - 60 minute session / $190 - 90 minute session

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle, rhythmic therapy designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and support the body's natural detoxification process. Using light, specialized techniques, this treatment encourages the movement of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support immune function.

This soothing therapy can be beneficial for individuals experiencing fluid retention, inflammation, post-surgical swelling, sluggish circulation, sinus congestion, or those seeking overall wellness support. Clients often leave feeling lighter, refreshed, and deeply relaxed.

Somatic Trauma Informed Bodywork

$180 - 90 minute session

A gentle, body-centered approach that combines therapeutic touch with mindful awareness to help release stored tension, reduce stress, and reconnect you with your body's natural wisdom. By focusing on the connection between physical sensations, emotions, and the nervous system, somatic massage supports deep relaxation, emotional well-being, and a greater sense of balance.

This nurturing session may incorporate breath awareness, guided body awareness techniques, and therapeutic massage to help calm the nervous system, improve body awareness, and promote healing from the inside out. Somatic massage is ideal for those experiencing chronic stress, tension patterns, burnout, anxiety, or anyone seeking a deeper mind-body connection.

Massage Infused with Reiki

$180 - 90 minutes

Experience the perfect blend of therapeutic massage and energy healing. This deeply restorative session combines customized massage techniques to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation with the gentle, calming energy of Reiki.

As your therapist works on the body, Reiki energy is intuitively incorporated throughout the session to help balance the body's energy centers, quiet the nervous system, and support the body's natural healing process. Many clients report feeling deeply relaxed, emotionally grounded, and refreshed long after their session.

This service is ideal for those seeking stress relief, emotional balance, pain reduction, improved sleep, or a deeper mind-body connection.

Complimentary Additions
To Restorative Bodywork

Theragun Percussion Therapy

The Theragun uses a soft, blunt tip to provide a high frequency deep massage to the muscles.

The tip of the massage gun touches and retracts from a person’s body 40 times a second, delivering a percussive massage that reaches 16 millimeters into the muscle.

The Theragun works by blocking pain signals to the brain and increasing circulation to the muscles. While a person can use the Theragun by themselves, a trained massage therapist can use the Theragun on precise muscle restrictions to help enhance the outcome of the session.

Cupping Therapy

Fire cupping, often known simply as cupping, is a therapeutic technique associated with Eastern medicine. It involves the application of heated cups to the body, creating a seal which pulls the skin into the cup slightly. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.

Gua Sha

Instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation often called gua sha or kerokan, is part of traditional Chinese medicine in which a tool is used to scrape people's skin in order to produce light petechiae (red spots on skin). Practitioners believe that gua sha releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff or injured muscle areas to stimulate new oxygenated blood flow to the areas, thus promoting metabolic cell repair, regeneration, healing and recovery.

Infrared Light Therapy

Low-level-light therapy or photobiomodulation is based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology and is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, reduce pain and inflammation, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation.

Hot Stone

The stone massage is a form of alternative medicine massage therapy and bodywork involving the placement or movement of a number of either heated or cooled stones to the body for the purpose of pain relief, relaxation and therapy. There are a manifold of variations and techniques used in the application of stone massage therapy, deriving from a variety of traditional practices. Stone massages are primarily used to alleviate physical pain issues, however, are also used to promote emotional and spiritual wellbeing in practice.

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy

Experience the healing power of essential oils during your next massage. Our pure essential oils have been chosen for their therapeutic benefits, using only the highest quality ingredients to provide the most effective results. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or relief from muscle tension, our massage therapists will customize your session to address your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What types of massage services do you offer?

We offer two primary massage services designed to support relaxation, recovery, and overall wellness. Our Restorative Bodywork sessions focus on relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and restoring balance throughout the body. These sessions combine therapeutic techniques to help reduce stress and ease physical discomfort. Our Lymphatic Drainage massage is a gentle technique designed to support the body’s natural detoxification process by encouraging lymph flow, reducing swelling, and supporting immune health. Both services are available in 60-minute or 90-minute sessions and can be customized to meet your individual needs.

2. What complementary therapies are included with the massage sessions?

Every massage session includes access to several therapeutic enhancements at no additional cost. These may include Theragun percussion therapy for deep muscle stimulation, cupping therapy to increase circulation and release tight fascia, gua sha for improved blood flow and tissue recovery, infrared light therapy to promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation, hot stone therapy to melt away muscle tension, and essential oils with aromatherapy to support relaxation and mood. Your therapist will select the best combination of modalities to complement your massage and maximize the benefits of your session.

3. What are the benefits of restorative bodywork and lymphatic drainage massage?

Restorative bodywork can help relieve chronic muscle tension, improve flexibility, reduce stress, and support better circulation throughout the body. Many clients experience improved sleep, reduced pain, and a greater sense of physical balance after treatment. Lymphatic drainage massage focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, which helps remove toxins and excess fluid from the body. This technique can support immune function, reduce inflammation and swelling, improve skin health, and promote a feeling of lightness and overall wellness.

4. How do I know which type of massage is right for me?

If your goal is deep relaxation, muscle relief, and overall stress reduction, Restorative Bodywork is often the best choice. If you are dealing with swelling, fluid retention, immune system support, or post-treatment recovery, Lymphatic Drainage may be more appropriate. Our therapists take time to understand your goals, health concerns, and comfort level before each session, then tailor the treatment to your needs. If you’re unsure which option is best, we are happy to guide you and recommend the approach that will deliver the greatest benefit for you.
