Each massage session is tailored to your personal needs to relieve tension and stress, improve circulation and address aches and pains as appropriate, leaving you feeling relaxed. Our highly experienced therapists offer a wide variety of techniques and modalities including Swedish massage, deep massage, sports massage, injury recovery and more. Table massage is available in 30, 60 and 120 minute increments.

Hot Stone Addition (only available with 90-minute table massage)
Add Hot Stone to any 90 minute table massage. Massage therapists use smooth, heated stones enhanced with essential oils as an extension of their hands, allowing them to work at deeper levels
with lingering heat. Hot Stone requires preparation, so please let us know when you schedule your 90-minute appointment that you desire hot stone.

Deep Tissue Upgrade
For those who require a deeper touch, enjoy more pressure or to address and relieve severe tension in the muscles. Please note: deep tissue work varies greatly and can result in a "work-out" type soreness for a day or two after your massage, which is normal. It is not a suggested upgrade for your first massage.

Aromatherapy Upgrade
Scent has the power to move us in many different ways and essential oils have healing benefits. Enhance your massage with your choice of scented lotions or oils; consult your therapist for suggestions. Selections include single note oils such as lavender, orange and rosemary, or special blends like stress relief, relaxation, or muscle comfort.

Hot Towel Upgrade
Add a hot, steamy towel compress to your table massage to ease sore muscles or enhance relaxation. Towels are typically applied to the back and neck, but can be used to address a specific area, like biceps or hamstrings, upon request.

Lemon Verbena Hand Treatment Upgrade
This hot, moisturizing hand treatment helps to soften and smooth dry skin while easing hand soreness.

Peppermint Foot Treatment Upgrade
Soothing heat treatment with creamy peppermint foot balm helps to ease your aching feet. Relieves stress and soreness, leaving your feet moisturized and feeling cool and refreshed.

30-minute Herbal Wrap (scheduled as a 30-minute service with your table massage)
Perfect alone or the perfect ending to your massage! This aromatic heat treatment is achieved by wrapping the body in linens steamed in fragrant herbs followed by a luxurious face massage and alternating hot and cold chamomile cloths to the forehead. This treatment helps to remove toxins and impurities, but best of all, it is calming beyond belief! Appointments for this service are recommended.

15-minute Chair Massage
Chair massage is performed in a specially designed chair and focuses on the neck, back, shoulders, arms, and hands. Since no removal of clothing is necessary, it allows you to enjoy the benefits of massage in a shorter period of time. Chair massage is a great pick-me-up between classes or a perfect break from a stressful day at work.

Mobile Massage $60 per hour/per therapist
