MASSAGE FAQ

How can massage help me? --Most people are not aware of how tense their body is due to stress and the activities of daily living.  Massage increases circulation, causes relaxation, increases range of motion in the joints, softens skin, and basically just makes you feel so much better.

What is Aromatic Massage?-- The use of therapeutic grade essential oils combined with massage can enhance any massage experience.  For years therapists have been using essential oils in combination with massage to reduce stress, increase muscle relaxation, and relieve discomfort among other things.  It is a fabulous adjunct to massage and Reiki.

How Long is a Session?-- Sessions are 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes long.  This does vary according to what individual needs require.

Do you accept Credit cards?-- Yes we accept discover, visa, and master card.

How do I know which kind of massage to have?-- Generally speaking to the therapist will help you to decide what kind of massage experience you are looking for.  A great way to help yourself in choosing is to decide if you are looking for relaxation, therapeutic, or a more spiritually based treatment.  When in doubt just give us a call.

How often should I receive a massage?--If you are someone who works at a computer, a construction worker, landscaper, nurse, cna, surgeon, if you are on your feet all day, if you are picking up children daily, if you are a mechanic, a teacher, a massage therapist, a lineman, a truck driver or someone that is a trouble shooter driving around all day... You get the picture if you are doing these things and more, if you are feeling stressed and the tension, discomfort, and rigidity of tired and sore muscles is taking over your body; massage can and will stop the madness that you feel in your body, but ONLY if you come on a regular basis.  Just as it has taken many years for your body to learn to feel tense it takes some time for the body to learn to be relaxed.  One massage can feel nice, like a treat, and the relief generally lasts for just a few days.  A regular program such as every other week will begin to re-educate your body to be more relaxed, supple, and comfortable in your daily life. You will feel better, handle stressors more easily, and be a nicer person... absolutely PRICELESS!

Why would I want to have a stone massage?--Stone massage is extremely good for those who relax more easily with heat.  It is a great first time massage because heat tends to cause muscles to relax more fully.  The treatments that include stones are a favorite of clients because it takes them out of the worry and discomfort of their bodies into a state of relaxation that many people do not attain on a daily basis.  Many cultures around the world look to stones as a grounding force, causing us to actually feel grounded and not floating around in our lives.  For those looking for a grounding and relaxing experience that spans body, mind, and spirit this is truly the treatment for you.

Why Raindrop Technique?-- Raindrop Technique was created by Gary Young of Young Living Essential Oils.  It is a treatment that has given many people relief from muscular discomfort surrounding the spine, relief from shoulder and mid-back discomfort, and even has helped with increasing range of motion in exercise.  The benefits can far outweigh the relief of physical complaints because of how thoroughly the essential oils can support the physical body, brain, emotions, and even spirit.  This technique can be tailored for specific issues such as physical discomfort and tension as well as to support the emotional and spiritual needs of the client.  Each oil supports specific emotions and physical functions of the body.  It is certainly a favorite of clients searching for a meaningful and healthy massage program!

Can I blend different treatments together?--Yes you certainly can assist the therapist in crafting the perfect program for you.  In fact this is a more powerful way to make huge leaps in your personal well-being and health.  You will find that Reiki, essential oils, massage cupping, hot stones, and ETPS can be added to any massage therapy.  Essential oils and stones can be added to a Reiki session easily.  Reiki and essential oils  can be added to hypnosis if you like.  It is also possible to book the therapists time to do hypnosis and bodywork during the same session.  Such as receiving a Massage and then a Hypnosis session or visa versa.
