Our practice proudly boasts an extensive menu of services; there's something for everyone! But don't be intimidated - the majority of our clients receive a mix of the "basics" (Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Swedish) if you aren't sure what you're looking for! Our therapists tailor each session individually based on what you tell us (or what your body tells us, if you don't know!). Modalities only need to be "chosen" in advance if they are our specialty services or if they're only offered by specific therapists.
We use hypoallergenic/Paraben-free lotions, and lightly scented aromatherapy oils. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, please let us know in advance and we will make sure to have the necessary products available.
Unlike many practices and spas who offer "hour" sessions that are actually 50 minutes, our hour is the full hour, hands on!
- Acupuncture
- Acupuncturists are trained to determine where qi, the body's life force, is stagnated, weak, or out of balance. Qi is understood to travel throughout the body along predictable energetic pathways called meridians. During an acupuncture session, fine needles are inserted at specific points along the meridians which restores the flow of energy, promotes health and treats illness. Acupuncture can be used for many conditions including neck, back, joint and muscle pain, headaches, digestive issues, women's health, stress, anxiety and insomnia.

- Reiki
- Reiki is a form of Japanese energy work based on the concept that an unseen "life force energy" flows through each individual. When one's "life force energy" is low, one is more likely to suffer physical and emotional illness and imbalance and if it's high, one is more capable of experiencing health, happiness, and resilience. This modality is an excellent choice for clients who cannot tolerate deep pressure or have a sensitivity to touch, as Reiki practitioners utilize a gentle laying on of hands to cleanse and balance the energy system in the body.
