Pregnancy & Infant Massage

Massage is a wonderful way to relax, increase your energy and relieve muscular discomfort as your body changes through each trimester of pregnancy. It can also offer support in preparing for labour.
As well, we can teach you simple, nurturing massage techniques to use with your baby. Massage has been shown to not only relax infants but also help improve sleeping patterns, digestion and growth.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is designed to improve performance, prevent injury and speed recuperation from injury. Sports massage helps by increasing the removal of metabolic wastes such as lactic acid as well as increasing blood circulation leading to decreased muscle soreness and reduced healing time.
Sports massage can be used prior to an event to prepare the body or after an event to help reduce recovery time and address any injuries. Between events sports massage can address muscular imbalances that may be contributing to long term injury.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage therapy is the ultimate stress relief and relaxation treatment.  It is considered a specialty massage where the therapist uses small heated stones as an extension of their hands.  The smooth volcanic basalt rocks are used because of their ability to retain heat .  Along with being deeply relaxing, it can help warm up tight muscles to further increase healing.  You will enter a state of calmness and relaxation, as your tension, stubborn knots, and daily stresses melt away. 

Cupping Massage

Cupping Massage brings the ancient art of cupping to the modern day practice. This modality allows for a unique approach to the fascia and body fluids. Cupping has an ability to affect deeper tissue, remove fascial restrictions, and increase range of motion.  Cupping can help with scars, fascia, joints, trigger points, muscle imbalances and pain.
