covid 19

Due to the COVID-19 virus I have changed my protocol to assure the safety of both my clients and myself.

As always, you can expect me to text you a client confirmation the day prior to your appointment. When you confirm back with me a will send you an extra set of questions pertaining to your current health and exposure to COVID-19.

I will be wearing a mask during your massage session. You are not required to wear a mask unless there is a current health department advisory to wear one.

My office has been equipped with a HEPA air purifier, and I have modified my booking so that I have adequate time to wipe down all surfaces between clients.

I am dedicated to providing you with the same quality services to bring you comfort and a sense of health and well-being.

Geriatric Massage

Massage therapy offers a gentle and natural alternative to addressing the aches and pains associated with ageing. Delicate stroking, stretching, and kneading are techniques that I use, along with holding certain joints to allow the muscles to relax. Being touched in a nurturing way brings awareness to the body, benefiting you on many levels. Massage can reduce stress, allowing a higher quality of sleep. It also can promote relaxation, which can reduce anxiety and depression, fostering a better attitude. Massage also increases circulation of both lymph and blood, strengthening the immune system. As we age our body’s needs change, and massage is a healthy way to address some of those changes, making the body/mind/spirit connection stronger.

Ear Candling

RATE: $50.00 (BOTH EARS) – $30.00 (ONE EAR).
RECEIVE $5.00 DISCOUNT PER EAR IF SCHEDULED WITH A MASSAGE.

Ear candling is safe and relaxing for clients of all ages. Ear Candling is an ancient healing art, that when done correctly, can elevate discomfort due to sinus or ear congestion. I have been using this technology successfully with clients and family for over 15 years with great results. The person having their ear “candled” lies on my massage table, bolstered by pillows and covered with a sheet, or blanket for comfort and warmth. Hair is always covered and the flame is carefully maintained for safety. You may feel a ear candle subtle “drawing” feeling from your ear, as the heated air in the candle creates a gentle vacuum, removing the ear wax in a holistic manner. You may also feel your sinus’s clear as pressure that has backed up in your ear and Eustachian tube releases. Ear candling can be done as an extra service at the end of a massage.

PLANTAR FACIITIS

+ $40 WITH MASSAGE

Plantar Faciitis can be treated in a non-invasive way with massage therapy.By targeting specific muscle groups and connective tissues, the plantar facia can be released, successfully relieving the pain in the bottom of the foot. This is extremely focused work and can be tiring to receive, so I recommend scheduling time to rest afterwards so that the body can recalibrate.

I focus my attention on creating a gentle, nurturing environment for you to relax into. Oncology Massage is a special type of massage developed specifically for cancer patients.

Much of what is known about the benefits of oncology massage comes from clients with cancer. They report that massage is helpful with pain, fatigue, nausea, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, stiffness, anger, and stress. My clients have told me massage improves their quality of life, increasing their sense of well being. There have been promising studies on the benefits of massage and cancer, and researchers are looking more closely at massage effects in larger studies.
