Receiving a massage after giving birth is a great way to start the process of bringing the body back to its pre-pregnancy state.  Some benefits of postpartum massage are that it supports and enhances the realigning process, with focus on the pelvis and ribs.  It aids in releasing tension in the shoulders, neck and arms from the care and feeding of an infant.  It supports fluid balancing and encourages pelvic and abdominal organs to return to pre-pregnant positions.
This is a Light to Medium pressure treatment, unless specified Deep Tissue. Pregnancy Pillow System provided for ultimate Comfort.

Deep Tissue - Trigger Point Therapy 

60 min. $105 / 30 min. $60

Deep Tissue uses firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes to massage deep layers of muscle and fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles.  Trigger Point Therapy is specifically used to break up scar tissue and muscle adhesions (“knots” which are bands of rigid connective tissue) that can cause debilitating pain. These points can inhibit our circulation, affect Mobilty and cause pain, inflammation and nerve impingements.

(Not recommended for first treatment. )

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage is a manual technique used to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid to relieve swelling and improve health. Among its many functions, lymph helps isolate disease-causing pathogens and returns captured fats and protein back into the bloodstream.

Because the lymphatic system plays a central role in the body's immune system, proponents of lymphatic drainage suggest that this form of therapeutic massage can help treat a variety of health conditions.

Very light pressure, relaxing treatment.

This treatment will also include a Dry Brushing technique to stimulate flow.

Reflexology 

60 min. $90  /  30 min. $55

Reflexology is an ancient Chinese therapy that focuses on healing in the body by activating different reflex points found in the hands and feet (+ ears). Pressing on the different points in the hands and feet causes reflex responses in corresponding parts of the body, which can help promote healing.
Reflexology has many health benefits:

  • Increased Blood Circulation In Your Body

  • Eliminating Your Body's Toxins

Hot LaStone Therapy 

60 min. $105  /  30 min. $60

LaStone Therapy uses hot River stones, and at times, cold stones, to massage the body. The use of cold stones may not sound very appealing, however, they have a very therapeutic effect when used in conjunction with the hot stones. Alternating between heat and cold both stimulates and relaxes the circulatory system, which is very detoxifying for the body. The combination of cold and heat creates a “flushing out” action of the toxins.  (The majority of treatments only require hot stones.)

Energy Healing

Grief/Bereavement Massage

60min - $85

The significant loss of a loved one often flows through every part of a person’s life. Grief often manifests as a stress response, complete with sleep disruptions, immune system suppression, changes in eating patterns. Physical symptoms may include headaches, and lingering tightness in the jaw, shoulders, and neck. Physical touch through massage therapy can be a powerful way for a grieving person to reconnect with their body. 

Grief massage helps a person heal by allowing them to shift out of the stress response and into the relaxation response. Following a major loss, grieving individuals often find it very difficult to relax on their own.


Unification is another positive outcome of grief massage. The loss of a loved one leaves a person feeling shattered. Re-integrating the body through massage is an excellent goal for massage therapists working with the bereaved.

Rather than working on “fixing” a physical symptom, grief massage therapists may instead focus entirely on relaxation, using gentle, predictable strokes on the face, scalp, neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands, lower legs, and feet. These areas are typically perceived as safe, even during a grief-induced stress response. Work may be done over clothing to maintain a sense of security and comfort. Creating a secure, relaxing environment is a major factor, and My Goal  in providing grief massage.

CranioSacral Therapy 

60min $89

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that may provide relief from a variety of symptoms including headaches, neck pain and side effects of cancer treatment among many others.

CST uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.

The focus of CST is a gentle placement of hands to assist release of the body’s connective tissue, or “fascia.” Fascia (Latin word for “band”) is a covering found throughout the body including organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, brain and spinal cord. This covering forms a body-wide connective network. CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels.

CST is thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully with children and adults.


Conditions that craniosacral therapy (CST) may help:

* Chronic pain.

* Fibromyalgia.

* Migraine headache.

* Complex regional pain         syndrome.

* Fascial adhesions.

* Multiple sclerosis.

* Neuralgia.

  Neurodegenerative              diseases.

* Temporo-mandibular joint     syndrome.

What Guests Love About Us

Untitled

I went to Carmen seeking stress relief, with attention to back pain.  Carmen was attentive and patient, as I described a long history of feeling fatigued and achy. She directed me towards Lymphatic Drainage and Myofascial Release.  After one session I felt immediate relief!  She was extremely knowledgeable about changes I could make in daily life to lessen my discomfort and stress.  I have gone to her for many treatments and will be a lifetime client!!!

Untitled

I've had 100s of Massages all over the US and abroad.   Carmen is beyond Talented.  She not only addresses the Physical body, but she also taps into Energy work if you are open to receiving it.  I currently live out of state and every chance I get, I return to see her for treatments.  My Sciatica and neck nerve pain is eradicated after I see her.  She goes above and beyond,  sharing exercises,  stretches and home remedies for pain relief in between appointments.  Blessed to know her.
