Prenatal​​

 Our unique table allows mom to lay face down comfortably and safely so that we can access and fully treat the back, hips and legs that are often the major areas of complaint. Our table has an adjustable band that works for all stages of pregnancy so you can always feel supported, but never too much pressure on your growing belly! When it's time to turn over, you're elevated on a wedge to keep you comfortable so you can enjoy your massage. Some of the most common things we treat during pregnancy are: 
  • Sciatica

Manual Lymphatic Drainage*

Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses very gentle massage strokes to stimulate the superficial lymphatic system that will drain out excess fluid and allow for better circulation to the area treated. It is used before and after surgery (cosmetic or orthopedic), those suffering from many types of edema, including lymphedema usually caused by removal or damage to the lymph nodes (often due to cancer treatments).  MLD has many wonderful and unique uses for individual who have not had surgery or may not have visible swelling.
