Massage
SERENITY FLOW
Our Serenity Flow massage is designed to be a tranquil and rejuvenating experience, melting away tension and promoting overall well-being. This session focuses on inducing a state of deep relaxation through a variety of techniques, such as soothing, flowing strokes, rhythmic movements, and gentle stretching.
This massage style uses LIGHT to MODERATE to MODERATE/FIRM pressure (at most 7 out of 10), and is ideal for those looking to relax and recharge, without the use of deep tissue techniques.

CUPPING MASSAGE
Cupping massage combines Eastern holistic care with modern science to relieve tension and improve circulation by breaking down adhesions and knots. It helps reduce the build-up of cellular waste, toxins, inflammation, and excess fluids in the body.
Each session is customized to your needs, using gentle soft tissue massage and cupping to achieve deep muscular release in targeted areas.
What is cupping?
Cupping is a massage technique that uses vacuum suction to lift soft tissue, unlike traditional massage that compresses it. The cup creates gentle suction, drawing the tissue into the cup.
Benefits:
- Release scar tissue and adhesions
- Reduce painful trigger points
- Improve blood and lymph circulation
- Enhance mobility and range of motion
- Improve mature scars
- Decrease toxins
Ashiatsu: Barefoot Massage
(Coming Summer 2025)
Ashiatsu barefoot massage is a deep tissue massage technique in which the therapist uses their feet to apply broad, deep, and consistent pressure to the client’s body. Your therapist supports themselves using overhead bars, ropes, or a special frame to control their balance and the intensity of pressure applied. The smooth, gliding movements of your therapist’s feet help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote overall relaxation.
