MENU OF SERVICES

A full body massage using various techniques to release tension and stress and
to improve blood circulation to the body.  Light, medium to firm pressure is
offered staying at the clients comfort level;  leaving the client relaxed,
refreshed, rejuvenated and renewed.  Swedish Massage is the foundation of many
other Western and Eastern practices.

LOMI LOMI MASSAGE THERAPY

An ancient Hawaiian Massage with a holistic approach creating connection between
Body, Mind and Spirit. Auntie Margaret, a pioneer who taught and shared the
loving touch of Aloha and prayer, offered the essence of Lomi Lomi; encouraging
the light and positive energy of the therapist to share with the client. This
therapy balances the body to reach clarity and relaxation using long fluid
rhythmic motion ~ offering the love of Aloha!

MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)

A therapy that offers gentle, slow manipulation of the tissue directing lymph
(impurities) to be drained and released. Deeper breathing is encouraged while
doing MLD, it will help with stimulation and to expel the impurities. MLD may
assist with reducing pain, swelling and inflammation. MLD will also increase
range of motion and improve the immune system. Limb mobilization and relaxation
techniques are often combined with MLD. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a
treatment, not a massage.

MASSAGE CUPPING THERAPY

Offering a therapeutic massage incorporating silicone, plastic or glass cups. 
Massage Cupping  Therapy will reach the deeper layers of muscle tissue, where
the roots of congestion and pain may be based.  Impurities rise to the surface
of the tissue and may cause some discoloration marks; which will dissipate in a
few hours while other markings may take up to 2 weeks.  These discoloration
marks depend on the extent of impurities being released.  Massage Cupping
Therapy promotes circulation,  releases tension and stress, increases range of
motion and will give you a sense of wellness.

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT THERAPY (TMJ)

TMJ is a disorder that affects the muscles and nerves of the temporomandibular
joint. This joint is located on each side of the jaw and it connects the jaw to
the skull. TMJ occurs when the muscles and nerves of the TMJ joint become
injured or inflamed. TMJ can cause jaw pain in the jaw joint and the muscles
that control the jaw; also may cause headaches and neck pain. Massage Therapy to
the external and internal muscles may give relief to pain and tension.
