Text Box: Massage 30 minutes $30.00 (chronic or acute issues only ex: shoulders, hips, neck etc.) 1 hour $45.00 ($40.00 for those paying with cash or check) 1 1/2 hour $70.00 ($60.00 for those paying with cash or check) 2 hours $90.00 ($85.00 for those paying with cash or check) For a special treat you can add an exfoliation treatment than can be done prior to your massage or as a complete separate appointment. Exfoliation helps to perk up the skin color and clarity, unclogs follicles and pores, allows the skin to breathe, allows lotions, oil, and gels to penetrate better, improves skin texture, stimulates the skin’s functions, and increases circulation. Christina has recently added heat to her massages with the use of a digital full back warmer. Deep, penetrating moist heat is created by this digitally controlled unit for the treatment of pain from overuse, and tight back muscles. Warms neck, shoulders, and full back with digital 1° temperature control (up to 166°). At 12 lbs, the pad delivers heat smoothly and evenly and is certain to be a favorite of yours. This patent pending design covers the full back, neck and shoulders to warm up and prepare tight muscles for massage. Schedule a massage and experience this wonderful phenomenon. You’ll notice the difference immediately after the massage. Warm towels are also available. Exfoliation (Dry brush or citrus body polish) add $15.00 to massage price. Added prior to your massage $12.00 Separate appointment without a massage $20.00 Add an essential oil to the lotion $3.00

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Craniosacral Therapy

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

Migraine Headaches                                                                 Learning Disabilities
Chronic Fatigue                                                                        Emotional Difficulties
Stress and Tension-Related Problems                                       Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)                             Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder                                               Post-Surgical Dysfunction
Chronic Neck and Back Pain                                                      Motor-Coordination Impairments
Colic                                                                                         Autism
Central Nervous System Disorders                                            Orthopedic Problems
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries                                 Scoliosis
Infantile Disorders

Thai Massage, or Nuad Boraen, or Traditional Thai Massage, or Thai Yoga Massage, is a unique and powerful healing art that has been an integral part of traditional Thai medicine for thousands of years.

Thai Yoga Massage is a truly wonderful experience for both giver and receiver as energy blockages are released, boundaries dissolve and deep healing occurs in a space of presence and meditation.
The benefits of Thai Yoga Massage are countless. By freeing the flow of vital energy in the body, Thai Massage can improve posture, breathing, flexibility, digestion and circulation. Muscles are stretched, inner organs toned and emotional and nervous tension is reduced. Often a deep sense of peace can be experienced during and after a treatment.

Although the main emphasis in the practice of Thai Yoga Massage is usually on health prevention (as all disease manifests first on the energy level and can be treated there before it becomes physical), it can also be of great therapeutic benefit for a range of specific problems and conditions, such as headaches, back pain, digestive disorders, shoulder and neck tension, joint pain, menstruation problems, insomnia and other stress related conditions.
Thai Yoga Massage is done on a firm futon or mat on the floor with the patient dressed in light clothes. Typically a session lasts between 1 ½ - 2 hours, but can also be considerably longer if needed.

The practitioner uses his or her thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet to apply a combination of acupressure, gentle rocking and twisting, joint and spine mobilizations and assisted yoga stretches. With the therapist using bodyweight instead of strength and a steady and meditative rhythm, Thai Yoga Massage looks and feels like a graceful dance between giver and receiver.

Negative Pressure Massage Cupping

 Massage Cupping will drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue, and bring blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin.

Massage Cupping can be added on to a one hour massage to any part of the body where you feel stress.  This will be done at no additional cost.

Massage Cupping can add time to your massage by adding an extra half hour to the hour.  The cost will be the same as an hour and a half massage.

Let Christina know if this is something you are interested in prior to the massage to allow extra time if necessary.

Face Lifting and Drainage is another Massage Cupping technique that is done on the face.  It takes approximately 15 – 20 minutes.  This technique eliminates buildup of wastes and fluids in the face and neck.  The action is cumulative if a series of treatments is done 1-2 times per week.  The cost is $20.00/session.
