Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It’s especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and areas of muscle tension such as the neck, upper back, lower back, legs, and shoulders.
>>>Deep tissue massage is often confused with deep pressure massage, but they’re different: deep tissue is about depth and precision, not just firm pressure.
Key Features
Targeted Pressure: Uses slow, firm strokes and deep finger pressure to target the inner layers of muscles and fascia.
Specific Focus: Works on specific muscle groups or problem areas, often to release chronic muscle tension.
Techniques Used: Involves knuckles, elbows, forearms, and thumbs to access deeper tissues
May Be Intense: Some discomfort is normal during the session, but it shouldn’t be painful. Communication between therapist and client is key.
Benefits
Releases muscle knots (adhesions)
Improves posture and mobility
Reduces inflammation and scar tissue
Aids in injury recovery and chronic pain relief
Lowers stress and blood pressure

Thai massage, also known as Nuad Thai or Thai yoga massage, is a traditional healing system combining acupressure, Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. It originated in Thailand over 2,500 years ago and is rooted in Indian and Chinese medicine traditions.
Clothed Treatment: Clients remain fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing.
No Oil: Unlike Swedish or deep tissue massage, Thai massage is typically performed without oils.
Mat-Based: It’s often done on a padded mat on the floor rather than a massage table.

Massage
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of energy healing that originated in Japan. The word “Reiki” comes from rei (universal) and ki (life energy), and it’s based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things. When that energy is low or blocked, it’s believed to contribute to stress or illness.
Reiki doesn’t diagnose or cure illness, but it’s often used as a complementary practice alongside conventional medical treatments.
Key Features
Hands-On or Hands-Above: The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the client’s body in a series of positions.
Stillness & Presence: Unlike massage, Reiki involves no manipulation of muscles—just still, intentional touch and energy focus.
Fully Clothed: Clients remain fully clothed and typically lie on a massage table or sit in a chair.
Subtle Experience: Sensations vary—some people feel heat, tingling, or waves of energy; others just feel deeply relaxed.
Benefits
Reduces stress and anxiety
Promotes emotional balance and inner peace
Enhances healing and overall well-being
Improves sleep and mental clarity
Supports recovery from illness or trauma
Massage
Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears—areas believed to correspond with different organs, glands, and systems of the body. It’s based on the idea that stimulating these reflex points can help restore balance and promote healing throughout the body.
Reflexology can be a full session on its own or a powerful add-on to massage or energy work.
Key Features
Oil-Based: Typically uses massage oil or lotion to allow smooth, gliding strokes.
Table Massage: Performed on a massage table with the client undressed to their comfort level and draped with sheets.
