Services
Pregnancy Massage
Specialized massage care for expectant mothers addresses physical changes during pregnancy. This treatment reduces back pain, eases joint stress, and improves circulation while promoting emotional well-being. Therapists use safe positioning techniques to accommodate all stages of pregnancy, from prenatal to postpartum recovery.
Labour Support
Professional massage support during childbirth enhances comfort and reduces medical intervention needs. Techniques focus on pain management during contractions, particularly for back labor, while supporting both partners during delivery. Services include post-cesarean recovery and postpartum healing assistance.
Infant Massage
Gentle touch techniques teach parents to soothe infants through therapeutic massage. This practice improves digestive function, relieves colic symptoms, and strengthens parent-child bonds. Sessions focus on safe, nurturing touch to support early developmental milestones and emotional security.
Cupping Therapy
Ancient healing technique using silicone cups to release muscle tension and improve circulation. This therapy reduces pain by targeting fascial restrictions, enhancing range of motion, and decreasing inflammation. Treatments address chronic muscle tightness, scar tissue adhesions, and sports-related injuries through controlled suction techniques.
Myofascial Release
Targeted manual therapy addresses connective tissue restrictions causing chronic pain. Therapists apply sustained pressure to release fascial adhesions, improve mobility, and reduce inflammation. This technique effectively treats repetitive strain injuries, postural imbalances, and recovery from sports-related soft tissue damage.

I have been going here for years. Great, friendly staff. Very clean. Cassandra listens to your concerns about your aches and pains and then customizes a plan with you. I have gone through arthritis pains and 3 joint replacements and Cassandra has helped me through all the discomfort. You are not just a number to them. They personally care about your well being.
