Relaxing Traditional Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is good for everyone and is always a favourite. It is the perfect massage for someone who is new to having massages.

The massage consists of kneading, long fluid strokes, deep circular movements on areas like the neck and shoulders and legs. The massage will relax you and help with blood flow and lymphatic drainage.

You can have your whole body massaged or just your neck, shoulders and back I will get you turned over once during the treatment.

I listen to you when it comes to massage pressure and can-do light, medium, or firm pressure. My Swedish massage brings about a calming and balancing effect for your nervous system.

A Hot Stone Massage

Is Perfect For Deeper

Tissue Work

A hot stone massage is performed using smooth, flat heated stones with well-rounded edges.
During the massage, the stones are heated to the luxurious warmth and are placed on key pressure points in the body to provide optimum relaxation and pain relief. These include areas along your back and shoulders.
We work on each part of the body first oiling the skin and then using the hot stone to glide over the skin delivering beautiful warmth and deeper tissue benefits
The hot stones have a total relaxation effect and help with pain, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation. The heated stones give deeper benefits into the muscles and help release muscle tension.

Body Scrubs For Smooth Glowing Skin

Don’t neglect your body! A body scrub will exfoliate dull skin and make it look lighter and brighter. We use beautiful mineral salts or coconut sugars to exfoliate and soften your skin. As your skin is exfoliated the creams/oils nourish and strengthen your skin. As the layers of old skin cells are removed your skin appears to look totally transformed and glowing. Body scrubs are a popular service as the warmer weather is starting. A body scrub will have your body looking it’s best before you hit the beach or before a special occasion. It is the perfect lead up treatment before having a spray tan.
