Which Massage Is Right for You?
Every body is different — and so is every massage. Here’s a quick look at the services I offer to help you relax, heal, and recharge:

Swedish Massage – Light to medium pressure, perfect for relaxation and stress relief.
Deep Tissue Massage – Targets deeper muscle layers to relieve chronic tension and tightness.
Lymphatic Massage – Gentle, rhythmic movements that support your body’s natural detox process — great post-surgery or for swelling.
Post-Surgical Recovery Massage – Aiding healing, reducing fluid retention, and improving comfort after medical procedures.
Customized Sessions – Tailored to your specific needs, combining techniques to help you feel your best.

Not sure what you need? That’s okay — we can decide together at your appointment.

Massage Therapy & Mental Health
This World Mental Health Day, remember: caring for your body is part of caring for your mind.

Massage therapy has been shown to significantly reduce both physical and emotional stress. Research published in Military Medicine found that military veterans experienced notable improvements in anxiety, depression, worry, and pain levels after receiving massage therapy.

Other studies have found similar benefits in:
People living with chronic pain
Cancer patients
Pregnant women
Individuals with long-term illnesses

Massage isn’t just about relaxation—it’s a powerful tool for improving emotional well-being and restoring balance.
You deserve care, too.
