Frost and Hearth is a beautiful massage done with a blend of essential oils that creates a cooling effect on the skin, and has inflammatory properties. The massage is done on the upper back, shoulders, neck and legs. This is what creates the Frost! Then you get to enjoy a beautiful hot stone massage which creates the hearth on the same areas already worked with the beautiful blend of essential oils. The cups are then applied to your back and worked to maximize the holistic benefits of this service. Frost and Hearth assists with tension relief and the promotion of the flow of energy or chi to the muscles.
This service is 60 min in length. If this sounds divine and just what you need to bring your body and mind back into alignment please DM me for availability πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’•

Swedish massage, also known as classic massage, is a popular form of therapeutic massage that originated in Sweden. It involves the use of various techniques to relax muscles, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. Here are some benefits commonly associated with Swedish massage.

Relaxation: Swedish massage is known for its ability to induce deep relaxation. The techniques used, such as long, gliding strokes and kneading, help to calm the nervous system and release physical and mental tension.
Stress reduction: The soothing nature of Swedish massage can significantly reduce stress levels. It stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural mood-boosting chemicals in the body, helping to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of well-being.
Pain relief: Swedish massage can be effective in providing sensory input that relieves the feelings of muscular tension. The techniques applied to the muscles help to increase blood flow, and improve feelings of relaxation, which can lead to pain relief.
Improved circulation: The long, flowing strokes used in Swedish massage help to increase blood circulation throughout the body. This enhanced circulation promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs while aiding in the removal of waste products from the tissues.
Increased flexibility and range of motion: By targeting the muscles and connective tissues, Swedish massage can improve flexibility and enhance joint mobility. The techniques used, such as stretching and kneading, can help to release tension and improve muscle elasticity.
Detoxification: The increased circulation and lymphatic flow stimulated by Swedish massage can facilitate the removal of toxins from the body. This can help to improve overall health and promote a sense of rejuvenation.
Enhanced immune function: Studies have suggested that Swedish massage can boost the immune system by increasing the activity of white blood cells and promoting lymphatic flow.
Improved sleep quality: Swedish massage promotes relaxation and reduces stress, which can contribute to better sleep. It can help regulate sleep patterns, improve sleep quality, and alleviate sleep disorders.

If you have not tried a Dosha Balance and Thai foot massage you need to book a session! The Dosha balance is a beautiful massage done with warmed oils infused with an Ayurveda blend essential oil that helps balance the Dosha. The massage is done on the back, neck, shoulders and legs. After the massage I complete a Thai foot massage. Unlike Reflexology, the Thai foot massage is done using warmed oils and a crystal. This technique hits all the reflex and pressure points that still allow you to detox and have the same great effect and benefit as a regular reflexology treatment. This treatment is 90 mins in length
If this treatment sounds divine and just what you need to help you de stress and bring your mind and body back into alignment, book your session today by DM me for availability ❀️

Reflexology is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment done on the feet where pressure points and reflexes are stimulated to bring the body back to a healing state. I begin each treatment with a beautiful foot soak in epsom salts and add herbs then your foot is rubbed. Pressure is applied during the treatment. Following the session a beautiful relaxing massage of the feet and lower legs is included.
The session is 60 min in length.

I am presently working on my certification to become Registered with the Reflexology Association Canada. I am affiliated with Aromatica and Danu Wellness for all training

How did I choose these modalities? I didn’t, it chose me. As a RPN with 21 years experience, it was time to venture into a new realm and help others naturally heal themselves. Because of my experience, I am knowledgeable in Anatomy and Physiology as well as disease and disease process. I provide a relaxing atmosphere by using Essential oils, relaxing music and crystals in the sessions which allows you to de-stress. When your body's chakras are balanced, and you have allowed yourself to de-stress, your energy flows more freely thus allowing the body to heal itself.
