Swedish Massage

One hour session - $60.00

Our Swedish massage is helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and helps to improve flexibility in clients with osteoarthritis or the like. The benefits of a Swedish massage are twofold, as clients will see an improvement in their overall stress, and anxiety levels. While some clients will also notice improvements in overall sleep patterns, blood pressure and heart rate.  

During a Swedish Massage, our staff will use a plain or almond massage oil to provide a deeper and stronger type of massage.  The massage starts with a stroking movement that works to improve the circulatory system while giving you a relaxing feeling that warms your muscles, preparing you for a more deeper tissue treatment.

Aromatherapy Massage

One hour session - $65.00

 

Our aromatherapy massage is a refreshing and relaxing treatment, that uses rubbing and kneading of the skin combined with plant oils, which provides strong, pleasant aromas to promote relaxation, a sense of well-being, and healing.

 

With the use of aromatherapy essential oils, our goal is to positively affect your mood and health. Massage movements will relax and release muscular tension while allowing the essential oils to penetrate deeply into your muscles.

 

Back Massage

30 Minutes session - $35.00

 

Our 30 minute back massage is a combination of swedish and aromatherapy movements that concentrates on your back.

Essential Oils and their popular uses

  • Basil is used in perfumery for its clear, sweet and mildly spicy aroma. In aromatherapy, it is used for sharpening concentration, for its uplifting effect on depression, and to relieve headaches and migraines.

  • Bergamot is one of the most popular oils in perfumery. It is an excellent insect repellent and may be helpful for both the urinary tract and for the digestive tract. It is useful for skin conditions linked to stress, such as cold sores and chicken pox, especially when combined with eucalyptus oil.

  • Black pepper has a sharp and spicy aroma. Common uses include stimulating the circulation and for muscular aches and pains. Skin application is useful for bruises, since it stimulates the circulation.

  • Eucalyptus oil is often used in combination with peppermint to provide relief for the airways in case of cold or flu.

  • Geranium oil is used as an astringent, antiseptic and diuretic.

  • Lavender oil is used as an antiseptic, to soothe minor cuts and burns, to calm and relax, and to soothe headaches and migraines. (Available in our clinic.)

  • Lemon oil is uplifting and an anti-stress/anti-depressant. (Available in our clinic.)

  • Sweet Almond is used to stimulate the immune system.
