About Massage

Thai Yoga Massage

Thai Yoga Massage is soothing & harmonizing for your body, mind, and spirit. This unique healing art is both relaxing & energizing! During a session, you wear loose-fitting clothing while lying on a comfy futon with cushions on the floor while you are gently rocked, stretched, and kneaded into pure bliss! I will apply moderate to deep pressure to accupressure points using my hands, knees & feet. No oils or lotions are used. Come out of your session feeling light-hearted and freshly charged! This style is also great for active folks looking for deeper bodywork and stretches and is a wonderful choice for athletes, dancers, and for treating injuries.

Thai Foot Massage & Reflexology

This unique ritual for feet and lower legs starts off with a luxurious foot soak and scrub using fresh limes followed by an energizing foot and lower leg massage using a customary salve created especially for you. The massage is followed by a traditional foot reflexology treatment using a special teak stick. Foot reflexology is effective for treating a variety of conditions and is an amazing way to relieve stress and improve your overall energetic balance.
