Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines lotions or oils with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, glides, effleurage, petrissage, and vibration to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Combination of two modalities in one customized session.
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Keep in mind that proper hydration before the session as well as afterwards, aids with the flushing and removal of toxins that have been released. Water is essential to rehydrate the newly opened fascia released during the session.
Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly. It helps to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and also increase range of motion. If you are elderly, geriatric massage can help you maintain and improve your overall health, as well as regain certain physical functions that have been reduced due to aging. In addition, since the elderly don't typically receive enough physical touch, this massage can also help alleviate symptoms of loneliness or depression. Energy work is always included with this work.
Comfort Touch Massage is a nurturing style of touch designed to be safe, appropriate, and effective for the elderly and the ill. It is adaptable to the needs of the client, and may be practiced on the client who is seated in a wheel-chair, a regular chair, a recliner, a hospital bed, or a bed in the home. This technique does not require the use of lotions or oils, and the client may remain fully clothed for he session.
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote relaxation, balance, and harmony. The essential oils used in my practice are 100% Therapeutic grade oils from Young Living Oils. Essential Oils are used medicinally to improve the health of the Mind, Body, and Spirit which in turn can promote both physical and emotional support.
Aromatherapy can be added to most modalities offered in the practice for $10.00.

"Bring the Feet to Life & the Body will Follow"
ionCleanse® by A Major Difference
I am a certified ionCleanse® practitioner. This protocol helps the body detox through the healing power of ions. Ions, because of their powerful charge, cleanse the body more effectively than any other method of detox. This process is safe, relaxing and non-invasive, with no harmful side effects.
Recall the way your body felt the last time you stood next to a waterfall or walked along a beach with the waves breaking at your feet. You took a deeper breath into your lungs and abdomen; your brain cleared and the pains in your joints subsided. You felt relaxed and at peace with the world. This is what the ionCleanse® creates, only more powerfully because your feet are in direct contact with the ions being manufactured in the foot bath.
Add this service to the end of a massage and feel even more balanced and energized. When booked with any service price is discounted to $30.
Hand & Foot MELT Method ® Instructor
The MELT Method® (MELT®) stands for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique. A technique developed by Sue Hitzman to help empower her clients, to be proactive in their healing regimen. This simple self-treatment is designed to help you stay healthy, youthful and active. When pain becomes chronic, the body's natural state of stability and balance declines. When the body isn't stable, it can't be efficiently mobile.
This hands off treatment empowers people to help themselves restore balance, rehydrate connective tissue, slow the aging process, and release stuck stress from their daily lives. I teach you the treatment technique and then it is up to you to take 10 minutes out of your day, a minimum of 3 times a week, but gentle enough to perform this protocol daily. It's like giving yourself a little lymphatic massage daily. You will notice a difference the first time you MELT®.
Regardless of your age, gender, or current activity level, anyone can learn and benefit from MELT®!

Chair massage is a popular way of releasing stress and tension in our office or at your workplace. You receive your massage in a specialized ergonomic chair which cradles you leaning forward with your face in a comfortable face cradle and your arms supported in front of you. In addition to the usual health benefits of massage, another benefit of chair massage is that it is done over the clothing. With seated massage, you can avoid the discomfort and awkwardness that you may feel in disrobing for a traditional massage. Chair massage sessions range from 10-30 minutes, making it convenient enough to fit into your busy schedule.
A great way to show Employee Appreciation or a Special Event. Please call for rates and details in our office or at your work place.
Thai Foot Massage has similar principles to Reflexology. Both modalities work with the meridians that carry Qi/Chi energy and the Thai foot session energy lines are known as Sen lines. These meridians run through out the body and start and stop in the hands and feet. A small amount of lotion is used to perform a variety of techniques on the feet, ankles, lower leg, and to just above the knee cap. The session ends with an acupressure point protocol with 27 points to stimulate organ reflex points on the soles of the feet. Clients will leave the session feeling relaxed, renewed, and balanced. Thai foot massage session benefits include; Improved circulation and flexibility of the feet and joints, reduced stress, deeper sleep, reduced pain and stiffness, less brain fog, and better mood. It is also a welcomed boost for the immune system.
There are some contraindications to receiving this work. Long term diabetics with poor foot circulation, blood clots, severe CHF, any foot fungus, warts, open wounds, and broken bones of the feet and legs.
The Super Patch
First things First....................How does it work???
Every Physical, Emotional, Psychological function has a corresponding Neuro Code in our Brains. These Neuro Codes, which are just messages, sometimes get stuck or damaged for a million and one reasons, but that leads to Poor Health, Wellness, and even Poor Performance.
In the past 12.5 years, Jay Dhaliwal, Founder of The Super Patch and his Research & Development team have de-coded these messages.
They de-coded the neuro code that could help and control the neuro functions of your Physical, Emotional, and Psychological function.
Every single patch has a pattern and ridges in it. When these ridges come in contact with out skin, the patch uses the receptors in and around our skin to send that message to our brain and the brain de-codes it.
Every single patch is generating a very specific signal that's responsible for Physical, Emotional, or Psychological function. And that my friends is how the Patches work.
All 11 of the Super Patches have their own unique QR code that's sending a unique message that our brain de-codes.
That's why, how the patches can help with so many different Wellness and Performance benefits that clients are seeing.
