Our Clients
"I walked out of here feeling like Gumby, my friends - no small feat considering all the tension I'd built up in my back over a spring time of stress at work. Upon arriving, I filled out a quick waiver and intake form, noting what kind of massage I'd like (athletic! with PRESSURE.) and pinpointing on a diagram my most-needy body parts."
"I live close by, but would definitely commute to get here- it's so worth it. Whether to recover from a sore back, or to de-stress or pamper- GO! You won't regret it."
"I cant't say enough good things about the massages and the treatment I have gotten here...The atmosphere is soothing and calming as soon as you walk in the door, the staff are friendly and helpful, incredibly knowledgeable and great listeners"

New Therapy Available - Zero Balancing
Zero Balancing is a modality that works with the dynamics of structure and energy of the body. High energy areas are frequently experienced as tension, pain, discomfort and lack of mobility. Low energy areas are frequently experienced as weakness, fatigue, fragility or vulnerability. During a Zero Balancing session, a client rests on his or her back, typically in comfortable, exercise, yoga style clothing. The practitioner applies gentle hand contact to feet, hips, sacrum, ribs, shoulders, neck and head in order to create a zero balance state within the skeletal structure.
At a neutral energy state, otherwise stated as Zero balanced, clients frequently report a sense of increased awareness, wholeness, calm, well-being, restoration and euphoria. Zero Balancing can also be integrated into massage and craniosacral sessions. When booking, ask for Joseph.
