Pregnancy Massage
Whether you are a few weeks or a few months pregnant your body undergoes tremendous changes. This style helps ease the aches and pains of the added weight and evolution of the growing child within. Clients can relax on their side, or we have a pregnancy pillow that is designed for women to lay face down without injuring herself or the baby.

Acupressure
Acupressure is a therapy focused on the treatment of specific acupoints and energetic meridians of the body for a particular effect. Acupressure works much the same way as acupuncture and in fact untilizes the same foundational science but uses no needles. This method of massage can be extremely relaxing and therapeutic at the same time. Organ systems can be balanced, pain can be relieved, and energy and blood are restored to a natural flow through the body. Acupressure is often combined with the other healing systems.

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a massage therapy very similar to acupressure but puts less emphasis on particular points and more emphasis on the energetic channel as a whole; especially the balance of energy between meridians. It is often performed on the floor with the patient laying comfortably on a mat, but can also be performed effectively on a table. The practitioner presses and holds areas of the body simultaneously for varying degrees of time to penetrate soft tissue and enhance the circulation of blood and qi. Shiatsu is a Japanese massage therapy and is extremely relaxing, therapeutic and rejuvinating. Organ systems can be balanced, muscular pain can be decreased, and overall well-being is enhanced.
