CUPPING MASSAGE
HOT STONE MASSAGE
Cupping massage is a therapeutic technique that uses suction cups to promote circulation, relieve muscle tension, and encourage relaxation. It's great for targeting specific areas of pain or tightness. The goal is to lift and release muscle tissue. Would you be interested in giving it a try?
A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy used to help you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissue throughout your body. During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat.
The stones may be placed: along your spine, on your stomach, chest, palms, feet and toes. Massage therapists may hold heated stones as they massage your body with long strokes, circular movements, vibration, tapping and kneading.
THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE
The term therapeutic is used to describe this massage because different modalities and tools may be used during the session to reach the desired goal you as a client are seeking. With a mixture of relaxing swedish strokes, slow deeper focused compressions, heat or cold application, cupping or wood therapy. Each massage is customized every session to give you the ultimate experience. Session is catered to clients expressed needs and preference before session begins.
LAVENDER LUXURIES

Lavender's calming and sedative properties can help relax the mind and body, and reduce stress and tension.
