~Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. This is a very popular type of massage today, what is offered most often in spas. A variety of strokes are used such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
~Deep Tissue Massage focuses on realigning the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. Many of the same strokes are used as in a classic Swedish Massage, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on specific areas of tension and pain. It is helpful for relieving chronically tense and contracted areas, and helps to speed up the recovery process after injury. We like to combine different techniques and modalities in this massage, suited to your specific needs.
~Sports Massage helps to recover more quickly and helps improve performance. If you are recovering from an injury, are training for an event, or an athlete, sports massage could be a great massage option for you. This massage aids in releasing the tension in the deeper layers of the muscles.
~Lomi Lomi massage is an indigenous Hawaiian healing practice which usually includes massage – but not always. More than just massage, it is a way of life. Lomi was practiced by the native healers (Kahuna lā’au lapa’au) and was used as a restorative health practice within families. As with all ancient Hawaiian teachings, there are different lineages and teachers of Lomi Lomi. Each will have a slightly different technique. But no matter what type of Lomi a practioner practices, there is always the unconditional spirit of aloha, total respect, honor, and sacredness in everything. The important thing is the focus, intent, and love of the practitioner. This type of bodywork utilizes long, broad, fluid movements. Forearms and elbows are often used to cover a broad area, and more oil is applied in this massage. Unlike many other massage modalities, Lomi Lomi works towards the emotionl/energetic sources of pain and stress to release the root cause, rather than simply alleviating symptoms.
