Talk with Kathy on how you can enhance your massage or bodywork with various techniques that can be incorporated into your session at no extra charge.

Prenatal Massage

Swedish massage for the expectant mother during the second and third trimester.

Acupressure
Based on the same principles as acupuncture, gentle pressure is applied to specific points on the body. This pressure addresses the body’s energetic system or meridians to help open pathways and restore balance. Benefits may include stress and anxiety relief, improved sleep quality, reduced digestive issues, minimized headaches, and reduced pain and muscle tension.

Cupping
Moving and stationary silicone and glass cups addresses the fascia – the tissue right under the skin – to release tension in the muscles on a deeper level. Cupping may leave painless red marks on skin that can last 2-7 days. This service can be added to any massage.

AromaPoint Therapy

Combining the therapeutic actions of essential oils with acupressure points to promote healing, relaxations, and support for the mind, body, and spirit. This is an additional $10 charge to any service.

Reiki Drumming
Native American vibrational healing is combined with a Reiki session. The sound vibrations of the drum enhance the healing Reiki energy in this session.

Add a salt scrub to the feet or back for an additional 15 minutes and $20.
