Our new Hydromassage Lounge is a wonderful alternative, to avoid touch from therapists during a time when you are trying to take precautions.
We do not offer this service on line at this time, however it is available to book upon calling. Since covid and the fact that we are a small independent practice, we too are taking precautions. Having by appointment only prevents the number of exposure. We really are trying our best and we thank you so much for still coming in. Considering the lounge will not replace our hands on skills, It will give a fantastic backside massage. The screen you see, allows you to adjust pressure and speed to your liking. You can even adjust it to focus on specific areas. 15 mins is about all you need, however it is ok to stay on it as long as you need esp if there is no one right after you. Any of our add on services including the lounge cost $10. The lounge as a stand alone session costs only $20. So it's a very affordable option to try. Kids love it too! You deserve a relaxing massage. We are happy to serve you in the way you prefer to heal. See you soon! We are excited to announce our massage schedule will re-open back up October 14, 2020. We unfortunately have been closed since March 2020 due to Covid-19. We tried to re-open in May but had a short lived run with staffing issues. We are currently in the middle of training our newest team members to assure you the best care. Our mission is to having your feel your best as fast as your body allows. We strive for five star reviews and we won't sell you something your body won't need. Our service menu has slightly changed along with our prices. Please check out our online menu for further information or give us a call.
Did you see we now offer acupuncture and auricular therapy?!
Acupuncture is a drug free pain relief alternative. Thin needles are gently inserted into pressure points of the body to relieve and boost wellbeing. It is a process that last anywhere from 30 to 45 mins. Auricular therapy is magnets placed along side of your pressure points of the ears and can be worn for multiple days at a time. Acupuncture has been proven to relieve back pain, neck pain, TMJD, carpal tunnel, osteoarthritis, knee pain, headaches and even migraines. It is safe with no side effects, and can be combined with other types of pain treatments. It is a wonderful alternative to pain medication and it produces real results! Which Essential Oils Can You Use in Pregnancy?
Many mums-to-be enjoy aromatherapy and want to carry on with it to help them ease the aches and pains or other symptoms of pregnancy. If you want to carry on with your aromatherapy massage or routine, remember:
As long as your pregnancy is going well, it’s fine for you to use:

The holidays are upon us again and although we all love this time of year, sometimes the pressure we put ourselves under to have the ‘perfect’ celebrations can cause so much stress and anxiety that we wonder if it’s all really worth it!
It’s no surprise that according to the American Psychological Association, women are most at risk from holiday stress. No matter how equal the sexes claim to be, it’s still the case that women tend to take charge of most of the organisation of holiday arrangements, whether it’s planning, buying and preparing food, decorating the home, buying the gifts or just organising who goes where. Women also find it harder to relax once the holidays are here and often deal with the build-up of stress (and any family tensions that happen over the holiday periods) by over eating and other not so healthy coping mechanisms. Holiday PressuresAlthough it’s true that most of us claim to look forward to the celebrations at this time of year, we can also get stressed out about them. Men and women both feel under pressure to make the holidays ‘perfect’ for their families, which can lead to arguments and stress. There’s pressure to attend work parties, see friends and not leave anyone out. Money worries add to the mix –celebrating isn’t always cheap – and people also admit that they can’t always switch off from the workplace when they are enjoying festivities, finding themselves stressing about tasks they’ve left behind. Some of us are just working way too hard to enjoy the holidays – 31% of people admitted that they were stressed because they couldn’t get enough time off from the day job to properly enjoy themselves. So – with all this stress build up, you need an escape valve! How to Beat Holiday StressDon’t resort to comfort eating to relieve feelings of anxiety or stress. It feels good at the time and it’s so hard to resist with all the delicious food and invitations to parties that inevitably come up at this time of year, but you’ll just feel sick and bloated if you overdo the candy or delicious party food. Eat whatever you like but try not to eat when you’re feeling tense because being stressed actually affects your digestion and can lead to you feeling even worse. Take some time out for yourself if you feel the pressure of organising (and paying for) everything start to creep up on you. Just because it’s Thanksgiving, or Christmas, it doesn’t mean you have to spend the whole time dealing with the needs of the rest of your family, friends or workplace. You can’t give anything if your own well is empty so treat yourself to a massage instead; not only will a good massage make you feel relaxed and ready to face another round of gift shopping, but it stimulates feel good hormones, boosts your circulation and can even help boost your immune system which is an absolute must if you’re going to be socialising with friends, family and workmates more than usual. Doing something that’s just for you will help improve your mood so that you won’t find it so irritating when people make holiday-related demands on you at this time of year. You’ll feel much more able to deal with fighting kids, annoying relatives and a partner who is too busy watching TV to help you with the washing up if you’ve had your fill of relaxing massage before the holiday season kicks off. It’s your gift to yourself – and as they say in the commercials – you’re worth it! Sept 2019 I Angie was diagnoised with breast cancer. I would of never of guessed I would ever have this. No one in my family has ever had it. I stayed in shape and for the most part ate well. I found out mine was hormone related. Hmmm never really had any hormone issues. With my amazing palpation skills I found my lump. I went in May for a mammogram they found nothing but a cyst. Went back in June and still nothing. September I decided to call in for an Ultrasound. Sure enough I had cancer. Why not just have an ultrasound and just skip the mammograms all together. Lucky me I found it early. Stage 1. Though stage 1 I still had to have chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. So sad to say this but I am not sure when I can come back hands on massage. I want to thank everyone of my clients for still coming in to the office and utilizing my amazing staff. I feel so blessed to have such a great team to take care of you all while I am away for so long. While away, I am still scheduling the staff and doing office work. With the chemo I have been too weak, tired and my risk of getting sick is very high. So touching is not Dr. approved. Please ladies and gents please check yourself often. The earlier the better. This road I am on has been far from the ideal vacation from work. If you have any questions about what you feel please seek a Dr. immediately, Don't wait. When you find it early you have a way better survival rate. There is a cure at an early stage like mine. I feel blessed.
