Myofascial Release: Slow, gentle release of the tissue that weaves through our entire body, enveloping each muscle fiber, nerve, organ. Restrictions and physical patterns developed after illness, injury or by habit can be effectively treated, allowing the body to return to a greater degree of agility and function.

Craniosacral Therapy: Very gentle touch, sensing almost imperceptible movements of the skull bones and fluids in the body can result in a profound state of relaxation in which the body's wisdom has the possibility of restoring health and wellbeing.

Thai Yoga Massage: Thai Massage is done on a mat on the floor, and you can remain fully clothed. You will be gently rocked, deeply stretched, and pressure is applied along energy lines. This form of bodywork is rapidly gaining popularity, especially among athletes. It is sometimes called 'Lazy Man's Yoga'. While you are guided through some assisted yoga positions and stretches, no knowledge of yoga is necessary to benefit from Thai Massage. Try it out, you will love it!
