| Types of Massage |
Tandem |
Tammi and Terri massage one client in tandem using both synchronous and asynchronous strokes to create a balanced, graceful, and unique four hands approach. The two therapists created a coordinated routine that integrates a full body Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage with components of Shiatsu and Energy Work. The therapists vary the routine to fit the specific and changing needs/wishes of each client This has quickly become their specialty. The client is carefully draped, unclothed to comfort level, and describes pain relief as well as a sense that every muscle needing attention received it. Client comment: “With the tandem massage, there is always one place that feels so great, so it is easier to relax during the deep tissue parts and just let it happen.” |
| Two Hands |
One therapist massages one client with a combination of Swedish, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, stretching, and Energy techniques. Several areas of deep tissue work can be included to meet each client’s need in this full-body integrative massage. This is the two-hand version of our tandem massage. The client is unclothed to comfort level and carefully draped.Client comment:“Just when I think it can’t get any better, it does.” |
| Raindrop Technique |
A sequence of highly antimicrobial Young Living Essential Oils are dropped onto the feet, vertebrae, and back muscles. The powerful essential oils are worked into the deeper layers of tissue using Vita Flex, light massage, and a hot, moist compress in order to bring the body into structural and electrical alignment. Inflammation is reduced and viral and bacterial agents are killed. This technique was developed in 1980 from the research of D. Gary Young, who worked with a Lakota medicine man named Wallace Black Elk. This technique is profoundly relaxing, balancing, and cleansing to the spine and body. Client comment:“The raindrop was an exquisite experience, the aromas were intoxicating.” |

The client is fully clothed and seated in a specially designed massage chair. The perfect antidote for stress, seated massage is ideally suited for on-site massage at the workplace. Seated massage has the immediate effect of boosting energy and the lasting effect of minimizing stress-related pain. A minimum of three is required for on-site service. Client Comment: “Wow, that was just what I needed.” |
| Hot Stone |
Heated, smooth, black basalt river stones are applied to the body to bring fluid to the muscle to relax and melt away tension. The heat penetrates deep into the muscle, so less pressure is needed to affect the deep muscle layers. The therapeutic stones possess healing energy from the earth and can draw out toxic energy. The stones are placed on the body along the energy meridians, chakras, and/or specific muscle groups. Our Hot Stone Treatment integrates Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Energy Work. The client is unclothed, carefully draped, and experiences deep relaxation, alleviation of pain, and a sense of balanced energy and peace.Client comment:“The stone massage is heavenly.” |
