Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is geared towards the changing bodies of pregnant women. Besides it's realizing effects, massage provides great comfort by helping to relieve pregnancy related pain. While massage is not recommended during the first trimester, it is very helpful in relieving sciatica, swollen limbs, tired feet and other conditions that occur during the last two trimesters.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage involves heating smooth basalt stones of various sizes and placing them on specific acupressure points of the body to specific points along your spine, in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body releasing tension. Hot stone massage allows for deeper relaxation.
Lava Shell Massage
How does it work? Lava shells (Self Heating Tiger Clam Shells) are not powered by external equipment, electricity or batteries. It is powered by an innovative mixture of natural minerals including algae, dried sea kelp blended with dead sea salt and essential oils. This blend of ingredients inside the shell, known as LavaGel, creates a chemical reaction that causes heat which can reach between 120 degrees to 125 degrees and can last for approximately one or two hours. The lava shells are made of calcium carbonate, the same material found in our teeth and bones. When the shell heats up, it gives off calcium ions directly onto the skin during the massage process. The lava shells are used the same way the stones are used in a Hot Stone Massage.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a highly therapeutic technique focusing on the deeper layers of the muscle tissue. This type of massage involves slower strokes with firm finger pressure relieving suppressed patterns of chronic muscle tension.
