Cancer/Oncology Massage
"Oncology massage is the modification of existing massage therapy techniques in order to safely work with complications of cancer and cancer treatment. Anyone who has ever received cancer treatment, from those in active treatment to those in recovery or survivorship, as well as those at the end of life, are best served by a massage therapist who has received training in oncology massage." -Society for Oncology Massage
This session is typically 90 minutes, and can be helpful for anxiety, pain, fatigue, and depression.
Relaxation Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. Lotion is used to apply strokes in a slow, relaxing manner, focusing on muscles, their attachments, ligaments, tendons, and areas of restriction. This session is often referred to as a full body massage that makes you feel "like you are floating," or "back in your own body."
Target work
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 can be highly effective for discomfort, specifically chronic pain. Although this work is typically done in a localized area of tension, it often feels as though a full body massage was received. Open communication is very important during this session, as the depth of the work can be intense. Oftentimes, feedback is "that is the good kind of hurt", and "that is the area that needs it most."
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women, often received in a side lying position. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
