exhale massage

Therapeutic Massage

This massage uses a variety of techniques, such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching. This massage is designed to treat muscle tension, knots and reduce muscle spasm, discomforts and pain from injuries or tensed up muscles. This massage is customized for each individual depending on the issue at hand. More than one session is recommended in most cases, in order to condition the compromised muscles to their healthy state.

Swedish Massage

This FULL body session will help reduce tension, increase circulation, and induce total relaxation with combined oils or lotions and an array of strokes with 'light to moderate' pressure on the entire body, including the face, feet and the gluteal (buttocks) area, unless otherwise specified.  This massage relieves aches & pains, decreases stress levels and enhances mental clarity.

Swe-Thai Yoga Massage

Also known as the customized exhalemassage, this massage combines passive yoga-like stretching with gentle pressure along your body’s natural energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle tension, and enhance your overall well-being. Other benefits of this modality include increased circulation and oxygen flow into the tight muscle area that promote healthy cell reproduction, elasticity, and deep relaxation. The session is performed on a massage table and has an option of being done in combination with a massage and/or can be performed fully clothed if requested.  Swe-Thai Yoga Massage will leave you with a deeply nourished, relaxed and energized feeling.

Deep Tissue Massage

This therapeutic massage focuses on specific and deeper muscle groups by applying firm pressure and using a variety of techniques.  This massage aims towards reaching the deeper structures of the muscles to ease and release muscle tension.  This massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you are comfortable with the level of pressure. Keep in mind that soreness is common after this treatment, and that plenty of water should be taken to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will be released during this massage.

Sports Massage

This massage is designed for highly active people who engage in athletics.  Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to short & long term injuries.  Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pain, and swelling in the body.  It increases flexibility by performing multiple stretching techniques and vigorous strokes to awake and prepare the muscles.  Sports Massage is very effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury or sports event by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s natural immune function.

Raindrop Technique

Raindrop Technique uses powerful antiseptic, immune enhancing, and oxygenating oils to work wonders for sore backs, curved spines and chronic problems.

This innovative technique originates from an ancient Lakota Indian Healing Technique adapted by D. Gary Young of Young Living Essential Oils almost two decades ago. It combines Vita Flex (similar to reflexology) and specific massage techniques with therapeutic-grade essential oils to bring the body into structural and electrical alignment.

Nine powerful Therapeutic Grade Aromatherapy Essential Oils are released like "drops of rain" and feathered on and alongside the vertebrae relieving muscular tension and stress in the body.  More importantly, this technique and oils are known to penetrate through the skin on a molecular level, down to your spine and surrounding tissues, eliminating viruses and bacterias in this area that cause misalignments. The Essential Oils enhance the systems of the body and deeply energizes and detoxifies.

This session is excellent for back pain and tightness, lumbar pain, scoliosis, migraines, headaches, stress relief, and to detox the body.  Although the entire process takes about 50 minutes to complete, the oils will continue working in the body for 5-7 days. Raindrop Technique is a very relaxing and invigorating massage. Your sense of smell will be stimulated, as well, with variety of therapeutic aromatherapy essential oils, leaving you cleansed from the inside, out.

Stretching

Incorporating stretch into your massage session is very beneficial to your circulatory system as well as it is to your state of relaxation.  Stretching allows blood and oxygen to flow thru your muscles and promotes healthy cell reproduction.  It also helps to prevent injuries by increasing your flexibility and your agility.  Aside from the Sports Massage, stretching can be incorporated into any of the massages mentioned above for an additional small fee.  For many, incorporating stretching in their massage sessions, makes the massage feel even more complete.

Couples Massage

More than just a massage, this is an experience for two.  A heavenly mixture of ecclectic massage techniques that will be customized for each of your particular needs and performed side by side using candles and aromatherapy-infused massage oils to soothe your
senses and your souls.

Reflexology

During this session, gentle to firm pressure is applied to specific points on the hands and feet to stimulate balance in organs and glands. 
Based on traditional Chinese therapy, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet.  Energizing these points creates a deep healing and restorative effect on the body; harmonizing the body.  Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

Chair Massage

Indulge in a chair massage session for your office or event/group gathering. A 10 to 15 minute quick stress reliever for when you do not have much time or would enjoy a quick pick-me-up!  This is a creative way to thank your hard working employees in your office or corporate event.
