Our Services

  • By gently creating space within the connective tissue, areas of chronic pain immobilized due to injury or stress, begin to unwind and return to their beneficial length and function.

    Clients who sign-up for 6 months of Recurring Massages receive $25 off the price of Massage. Please fill out this form to request your recurring appointments.

  • The ability to deeply relax can impact both the length and pain of labor. Unwind patterns of tension that relieve aching backs, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation.

  • Explore gentle movements to engage your brain’s natural neuroplasticity to allow new ways of moving, feeling and thinking—to help you recover after an injury, get rid of pain, move more easily, and to enhance creativity and clarity of thought.

  • An ancient Ayurvedic therapy in which warm, herbalized oil is applied to the entire body. Performed in a direction towards the heart, the benefits include improving blood circulation, calming the nerves, lubricating the joints, assisting in elimination of impurities from the body, and tones the tissues leaving you with a soft, dewy glow.

  • This Ayurvedic healing technique involves warm oil slowly and methodically poured from a copper pot onto your forehead, in a steady stream, creating a blissful sensation. This purifying and rejuvenating therapy is designed to reduce stress and mental exhaustion.

  • A blend of both Shirodhara & Abhyanga in one session for a full mind-body relaxation experience.

  • Begin your Ayurvedic journey with an analysis to determine your unique mind/body constitution and identify any imbalances. This involves gathering your medical history, an intake evaluation, clinical observation, diet, and lifestyle questionnaires. A customized personal wellness plan is developed based on this initial assessment to bring you back into a state of balance and help you achieve your goals.
