Services

Hot Stone Massage

This specialized treatment uses heated basalt stones to deliver deep muscle relaxation while balancing energy systems. The stones' warmth penetrates tension layers, promoting circulation and detoxification. Clients benefit from both physical pain relief and emotional stress reduction through this ancient healing technique.

Bamboo Massage

Utilizing warm bamboo tools, this technique combines deep tissue work with flowing movements to release muscle knots and improve circulation. The bamboo instruments allow precise pressure application while maintaining smooth massage strokes. This modality effectively addresses chronic tension patterns through targeted myofascial release.

Swedish Massage

Foundational massage techniques including effleurage, petrissage, and tapotement form the basis of these sessions. Acupressure points are integrated to enhance energy flow and muscle relaxation. This approach promotes overall wellness through improved circulation and nervous system regulation.

Deep Tissue Massage

Focused pressure techniques target chronic muscle tension and postural imbalances. Slow, deliberate strokes address deep muscle layers and connective tissue restrictions. This treatment helps break pain cycles while improving mobility and body awareness.

Mobile Massage Services

Professional massage therapy brought directly to clients' locations with proper advance scheduling. Portable equipment maintains treatment quality while providing convenience for those unable to visit the studio. A travel surcharge applies for this personalized service option.

I booked a massage for myself as a treat to help me destress and attempt to relax. My experience here was amazing to say the least.
Heather is not only knowledgeable, it's more like an art form of relaxation. Heaven on Earth package is the way to go.

Heather is amazing and I had the best massage experience of my life. She took the time to focus on the areas that needed attention and used all her skills not just the ones I "booked". I am comfortable talking during my appointment and she blew me away with the wealth of information and general knowledge she has. We got a little carried away with the time because she's just so lovely to be around. I'll be back. Already dreaming of my next appointment.

Heather is amazing, instant connection right at the first time meeting her! Her cottage is a little paradise and she make sure you will feel like you are in a five star Caribbean vacation, laying down at the… beach and being pampered! I can't wait to go again! Book an appointment and treat yourself with a soul and body healing massage, you deserve it!

Amazing experience. Heather definitely knows what she is doing with a hot stone massage. I came in with a week long headache and the day after I saw Heather it was gone. Really reasonable prices and a great location with a cute little cottage in the back yard where she does her massages. Unfortunately, not an RMT, so can't be claimed on benefits plans, but I'd already used all mine up for the year anyways.

Mmmmm, the sounds of a memorable massage. Aahhhhhhh, a body melting into the healing touch of the skilled hands of Heather. Heathers Heaven On Earth massage, is just that, a big slice of heaven for this worldly body. Taking the time out for self care may be a challenge for some, in many possible ways. Experience for yourself how the initial apprehension dissolves into the sweet moments of enjoyment. After the amazing hot stone massage, the tension held in my body had evaporated. Days later, I still feel younger then I have in years.
