What is a Massage and what will it do for me?
Massage therapy helps reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation, promoting relaxation and overall well-being. It enhances flexibility, supports injury recovery, and boosts the immune system.
Regular massage can also improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and provide mental clarity, making it a valuable health aid.

What is a Massage session like?
At a first appointment, please arrive 10 minutes early and fill out an intake form. Or you can print your intake form here and bring it with you.

Your session begins in a serene, private room designed for your ultimate comfort, complete with a heated bed and calming music.
-
Our skilled licensed massage therapist will start by discussing your massage intake form, addressing any specific concerns or areas you would like to focus on.
-
Once the therapist steps out, you can take a few moments to undress to your comfort level and settle under the sanitized sheets and blanket in the recommended position for your treatment.
-
You’ll hear a gentle knock on the door—let the therapist know when you’re ready to begin.
-
During your massage, don’t hesitate to communicate any preferences regarding pressure—you deserve to feel completely at ease.
-
After your rejuvenating session, your therapist will step out, giving you time to dress at your leisure.
-
When you’re ready, simply open the door, and your therapist will provide you with refreshing water while discussing your experience. They will also guide you to the restrooms, the relaxation room, or assist you in exiting through the lobby.

“I didn't realize...”
I didn't realize what a difference my monthly massage could make! Once I got on a schedule, I was finally able to sleep better and I feel more relaxed overall (not just when I'm there!)
