SWEDISH MASSAGE:

Swedish massage is a gentle technique that relaxes and soothes you. I use a combination of long smooth strokes and circular movements to relax and ease muscle and nerve tension. This is ideal to have if you want to feel the muscular benefits of a massage or you just want to relax after a busy day.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE:

Sometimes it is necessary to use deep firm pressure to release muscle tension that is causing chronic pain and discomfort. This style of massage aims at releasing pressure in the deep layers of muscle.

SPORTS MASSAGE:

If you are active in any sport or physical activity where you can overwork the muscles or incur an injury then massage can help you to prepare for your sport by releasing muscle strains and elongating the muscle.

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY:

Massaging the feet is not only relaxing but also works on nerve endings that can soothe or stimulate body parts. By massaging different pressure points in the feet it is believed that your general health can be improved. Conditions like asthma, indigestion, headaches, lymph cleansing, constipation and many others may be relieved by foot reflexology and can be supportive to other modalities.
