Lifestyle massage can be wonderfully revitalizing and healing. The intention of a wellness massage is to care for you regularly as a preventative treatment, maintenance therapy or to improve how you feel in your body. Any of the ailments that are treated as medical massage can and are treated during a scheduled wellness or lifestyle massage with the exception to billing medical insurance. General aches, pains, and chronic conditions are addressed with wellness massage.
Medical insurance does not cover wellness or lifestyle massage therapy (ie Maintenance/chronic symptoms)
Traditional massage techniques are integrated with cups to create a tailored and effective treatment. Silicone cups are used to create negative pressure allowing the therapist to gently lift layers of fascia and muscle tissue. This assists in breaking adhesions and scar tissue, freeing muscles to move more normally. Cups are incorporated into massage to address “trouble spots”.
Cupping therapy is an amazing treatment on its own or as an add on to your Preventative & Lifestyle massage.

Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
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.
Soothe your mind, body and soul with a calming or uplifting massage intended to improve lymphatic flow and immune response. Therapeutic essential oils are applied to the body helping you relax, while detoxifying and invigorating your muscles.
Medical massage is intended for treatment to an area(s) of the body which is causing functional limitations and discomfort that prevents you from performing typical tasks or activities in your personal life (i.e. washing, dressing, sitting, working, driving, sleeping etc). Often, when seeking medical massage care a client may request that our office bill their heath insurance to utilize their massage benefits. When billing medical insurance, certain criteria must be met in order for the medical claim to be considered "medically necessary" by your health insurance company. You must have a prescription from either a Primary Care Physician, Chiropractor or Naturopath with a valid diagnostic code, recommendation of treatment frequency and duration (ex: 1x/wk for 6 weeks), with an expiration date.
