Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes 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 is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Fijian Massage is a technique where the therapist use their bare feet instead of their hands to give the massage. The client is on a mat placed on the floor where they are able to relax through the massage. By using gravity, leverage and the body weight the broad surface of the therapists foot can deliver a deeper pressure and easier muscle release while also providing the client with a relaxing endorphin release. With broader strokes more muscles are accessed at the same time. Fijian Massage does not include walking on the clients back or body.
This technique can be done through clothing or to bare skin while using typical draping of the body and limbs.
Aromatherapy massage is the use of essential oils during the massage therapy session to help the client reach their goals. The therapist will use properly diluted essential oils geared towards reaching your goal. Essential oils can be used for relaxation, pain management, and many more uses.
When using essential oils the therapist will need to use more indepth questioning to make sure that the essential oils are used safely with any health issues, medications and other sensitivities. Essential oils can be traced back to helping many areas of world history.
Aromatherapy massage is typically done while using light to medium pressure. Some deep pressure may be applied but overall the body tends to respond best to this modality while using lighter pressure.
