Prenatal/Pregnancy Massage shares many of the goals of regular massage but is tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies. The benefits of massage during pregnancy can alleviate stress on your back, neck and abdominal muscles along with your shoulders. In addition, Prenatal Massage can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression and headaches and supplement your total prenatal care.  Restrictions may apply.

Reflexology focuses mainly on the feet and hands. It is a method of stimulating the reflex points which relax and rejuvenate each and every part of the body. Massaging the pressure points in the feet and hands allows the nerve network to boost the immune system and improve the physical body.  Reflexology has been shown to relieve stress, pain reduction and headaches.

Reiki is an energy technique used for stress reduction, relaxation and promotes good health. Reiki is a simple and natural method of hands-on therapy that treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects such as relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being

Cranial Sacral Massage is a deeply relaxing yet very powerful hands-on method of releasing restrictions in the cranial sacral system to improve function of the central nervous system.  This gentle, noninvasive form of treatment deals with the movement of the fluid surrounding the skull and spine.
