This service combines a full body muscle stretch with massage. The entire session is implemented on the massage table. Approximately 50% of time is spent on actively stretching the muscles, and the other 50% is reserved for massage. Combining these two modalities improves flexibility, mobility, and performance.

Pregnancy massage focuses on addressing the special needs of expecting women.

Smooth basalt stones are heated, then lubricated with of one of our handcrafted, essential oil-infused massage creams (your choice). The therapist uses these stones as an extension of her hands, applying deep or lighter pressure as needed. The therapeutic effects of a hot stone massage are induced relaxation, soothed muscles, and calmed nerves. It's a unique experience that helps you feel centered and grounded.

Ashiatsu is a deep pressure massage where the therapist primarily uses her feet (instead of her hands), as her massaging tools. She uses overhead bars for stabilization and leverage, varying pressure from deep to very deep. It's a western version of an ancient form of bodywork. It's roots are from cultures across Asia, India, Africa and the Pacific Rim. If you prefer very deep pressure, Ashiatsu is for you. Lighter draping recommended

Lomi Lomi is an indigenous Hawaiian healing massage. With Temple Style lomi lomi the therapist primarily uses her forearms as her tools, integrating dance-like movements designed to confuse the thinking mind. This invites one to let go of energy that is no longer of service and to receive more of one's soul energy. With client lightly draped, the therapist uses forearm pressure, tribal music and focused breathing to create a restorative feeling.

A Back, Neck, Shoulder Massage targets just that... the upper body; therefore, it is a shorter session than a full body massage. We integrate techniques from a number of different modalities including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, etc. Through the use of these techniques, specific problems can be addressed, producing optimal results.

Cupping
Cupping is a therapy in which either glass, plastic, or silicone cups are applied to the skin and a suction is created. This suction draws fluid subcutaneously into the cupped area. Your body treats the area like an injury and sends more blood and interstitial fluid to bring oxygen and nutrients to the cells. This helps jumpstart the natural healing process. You may experience redness in the cupped areas that lasts from several hours to several days.
This is an add-on service with Aimee.

Gua Sha
The benefits of Gua Sha are similar to Cupping. With Gua Sha, a smooth-edged jade tool is used to to gently scrape areas of your body where there is inflammation or stagnant qi (energy) to help improve circulation and promote healing. You may experience redness in the scraped areas that lasts from several hours to several days.
This is an add-on service with Aimee.

For a good part of my life I worked in the Graphic Arts field. When I experienced a personal loss many years ago, I took a good look at my life, and decided to change gears and follow a path that gave me a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I left my job and went back to school to study massage therapy. I have now been a certified and licensed massage therapist for 12+ years. The thing I like most is that I get to help people reduce the strain and stress from everyday life.
I have a true passion for my chosen career. For me, a great reward is a returning client because a returning client translates into a satisfied customer. To ensure satisfaction, I take great care in listening to my clients and customizing sessions that focus on their particular needs.
I have worn many hats in my life and each experience has played a part in the person I have become. I am a positive person who believes good energy begets more good energy. I am a person who is passionate and compassionate. I am a person who desires knowledge and who strives to continually educate herself. The more I learn, the better I become at helping people reduce the tension and strain in their lives.
