Stone massage - hot and cold basalt stones inspire circulation and healing as they are used to massage you in the technique of your choice - light pressure relaxation, deep tissue sports, and a combination based on immediate need.

Lomi Lomi – Traditional Hawaiian Massage - the rhythmic application of thumbs, knuckles, forearms and elbows to specific areas of tension. Lomi Lomi relaxes the nervous system, increases circulation and creates a sense of well-being.

Swedish – oil massage using five types of manipulation: effleurage (long strokes), petrissage (kneading), friction (deep circular movement), tapotement (percussion), and vibration to promote relaxation, improve circulation, relieve tension, and expand the range of motion.

Lymphatic Drainage – focused on draining the lymph fluid from the extremities into the nodes for elimination of toxins.  As there is not a pump in the lymphatic system, lymph is moved through muscular contraction and respiration.  Without movement the lymph stagnates and the body is more prone to infection and dis-ease.  It promotes balance of the body's internal chemistry and promotes functioning of the immune system.

Deep Tissue - works through muscle tension layer by layer, reaching the deeper muscles where chronic pain and tension may be released. Deep work is often slower than regular bodywork, allowing the soft tissues to open at deeper levels.

Sports Massage - deep tissue strokes, muscle massage, release points, and joint movements are employed to correct harmful movement patterns and prevent tissue damage during exercise.

Thai -Thai massage is a cross between acupressure, yoga, and Zen shiatsu and is inspired by Buddhist teachings.   The actual massage consists of a technique that uses slow, rhythmic compressions and stretches along the body's energy lines.   Thai massage concentrates on applying pressure along these energy lines using the palms of the hands, thumbs, elbows, and feet.  Emphasis is on stretching and loosening the body.  You wear loose clothing and lay on a mattress on the floor. No oil is applied.  The effort from the practitioner works to free tension within the body. Practitioners also position the body into yoga-like poses and gently rock the body to more deeply open joints and facilitate limbering.

Ear candling is a non-invasive, peaceful and relaxing experience. An ear candle is a long hollow tube tapered to a hand-finished tip that is fit comfortably into the ear. The large end of the candle is lit and the smoke created by the heat spirals down through the ear canal. The warmth of the smoke gently dislodges foreign debris, softens old earwax and helps evaporate excess moisture.  This is known to relieve ear ache pain, provide relief from the pressure in the sinuses and allow the ear to naturally push out the ear wax. The ear candling process helps detoxify the lymphatic system and clear the sinuses, which can also improve the clarity of hearing, sight, smell and taste. More subtle changes may occur on an energetic level resulting in an overall sense of well-being
