Relaxation Massage:
A gentle, flowing massage which can benefit you by increasing energy and vitality, promoting a feeling of well being and improving ability to deal with stress.
Relaxation massage involves the manipulation of the body's soft tissues: the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments using the hands. Using varying degrees of pressure and stretching movements it helps reduce tension in the muscles and improves flexibility.

Massage can help manage stress and stress related illnesses allowing you to become more productive. It also can help relieve conditions brought on by anxiety e.g. insomnia or asthma.

Hot Stone Massage
Using hot stones to massage with can achieve two goals in one treatment session.  Due to the heat of the stones, it is always a highly relaxing, stress reducing massage. The hardness of the stones also allows the therapist to address specific problem areas with more detailed work or deeper pressure.

Hot stone massage can help in the treatment of: muscular aches, pains, and strains, rheumatic and arthritic conditions, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, back pain, and insomnia. It also helps to improve circulation and can help reduce stress, anxiety, tension and depression.
