REFLEXOLOGY

DEEP TISSUE THERAPY WITH MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
This massage therapy targets soft tissues, focusing on specific muscle groups related to your physical activity. It promotes enhanced circulation, flexibility, and range of motion, aiding in injury prevention, treatment, and optimizing athletic performance. Even if you're not an athlete, this massage can alleviate muscle discomfort and improve flexibility. Myofascial release therapy involves a hands-on approach to address myofascial pain. The term "myo" pertains to muscles, while "fascial" relates to the connective tissue enveloping and supporting muscles throughout the body. During this therapy, the emphasis is on releasing tension in the fascial tissues rather than directly on the muscles themselves.
HONEY MASSAGE
The honey massage is a therapeutic process that boosts blood flow to the deeper tiers of the skin. During the massage, the advantageous elements from the honey are absorbed into the epidermis. Honey stimulates the regeneration of tissue during the healing process. Its anti-bacterial qualities contribute to purifying the pores, hydrating the skin, elevating the metabolism, intensifying the lymphatic system circulation and decreasing pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, the massage also stretches and relaxes the muscles.
HOT STONE MASSAGE
For the hot stone massage, the therapist will place warmed, smooth stones at certain parts of the body and also hold the heated stones while giving the massage. The warmth of the stones can be calming and can help to loosen stiff muscles, thus allowing the therapist to reach areas of muscle tension more rapidly.
INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
An ancient technique stemming from the Indian Ayurvedic healing system, the Indian Head massage has been practised for centuries.
The Indian head massage can promote the circulation of blood, lymph, and oxygen in the upper body, potentially aiding in the clearing of sinuses, decreasing stress, and encouraging better sleep. It may also reduce aches - particularly headaches -, pain, and tension in the neck, back, and shoulders, as well as improve the condition of the hair and promote hair growth. By tapping into the energy in the body, the massage therapist can assist with mental stress and bring clarity by decreasing depression and anxiety.
No disrobing is necessary for a massage as it is possible to do it through clothing with no oil. If oils are desired, Indian Head Massage can be done with sesame or olive oils which are ultra-nourishing and thought to soothe muscle pain and discomfort.
NECK & SHOULDER & BACK
This massage of the neck and shoulders is based on the Western perspective of anatomy and physiology, rather than the energy-focused approach more common in Asian massage techniques.
