Check out the services you can look forward to: Services Offered: Corporate Chair & Table Massage Parties Customized Massage (Swedish/Deep Tissue) Foot Reflexology Prenatal Massage Oncology (Cancer) Massage Sports Massage Hot Stones Massage Non- Surgical Face-lift Massage Aromatherapy Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility. 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 is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session. 90 minutes highly recommended Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating. Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function. Couples Massage: For the pair that wants to share in the benefit of massage as much as experiencing it themselves, nothing is better than a couple’s massage session. Enjoy a massage in the same room at the same time. Holistic Facial: Just like the rest of the body, the face has a large number of muscles that can get tight and hold onto stress. In addition, the skin on the face and neck is very delicate and absorbent and therefore it is extremely important to use non-toxic facial products that promote healing and reduce the toxic burden on the body.

I enjoy helping post-surgical clients experience some relief from lymphatic swelling. Post-liposuction, tummy tuck, cosmetic surgeries, mastectomy, all kinds of surgery where edema and fluid build up occurs. I also work with cancer patients, either during treatment or with reconstructive surgeries. Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is the process of moving excess fluid away from the surgical sites. This is vital not only to ease discomfort, but also to allow your immune system to keep the area replenished with fresh antibodies. Energy Balancing and Meditation Sessions

The type of massage that I offer is a combination of modalities based on each client's needs. Most sessions start with a gentle rocking of the body. This helps me to determine which specific areas of the client's body need more attention. To relax the body and calm the nervous system, I generally start with flowing strokes. Once exterior muscles are relaxed, pressure is increased and I begin to work on more specific areas of the body. The massage is generally finished up with a relaxing facial massage and gentle circulation balancing. Clients may also request aromatherapy massage, heat therapy, energy work, and chakra balancing - either as stand alone treatments or in combination. Clients who come to the farm for a massage also have the choice of location for the massage: in my massage room, or weather permitting, out in the forest glen.

I also make and present herbal products and crafts for sale in my little shop on the farm and at festivals throughout the area.
