Prenatal

Moms in any trimester of pregnancy may safely receive, and massages are typically given side-lying (high-risk pregnancies must first seek physician advice).
manual lymphatic drainage
Your lymphatic system plays a role in decreasing swelling and inflammation, filtering the blood, and maintaining your immune system. Manual lymphatic drainage uses long, gentle strokes along the lymphatic pathways lying just beneath the skin to encourage the movement of stagnant lymph fluid back into your bloodstream. Movement of the lymph fluid is essential for detoxification. Lymphatic massage will leave you feeling rested and cleansed.
Deep Tissue
Deep tissue massage uses elbow and forearm compressions and strokes to target zones of tension of the muscles and tendons directly. Sometimes a deep tissue massage may leave you feeling sore the following day. This is typical as your muscles have been manually stretched and compressed. During your massage, we will communicate the pressure that is deep enough for you. It is also important to keep hydrated before and after your session.
