Swedish massage is a hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues and can be applied to all major muscle groups in the body. Swedish massage can increase one’s flexibility as it stretches the ligaments and tendons, and is specifically designed to relax the muscles. It also helps flush the body tissues of uric and lactic acid and other metabolic waste. The Swedish massage techniques are the basis for other types of (Western) massages, such as aromatherapy and sports massage.

Our unique detoxification massage blends the following techniques:

Hot Stone Meridian Lymphatic Drainage massage is a unique blend that activates and drains the lymph from the body. The Lymphatic System is responsible for “draining & sorting” the toxins in the body and is manually ‘activated’ through massage. Pure essential oils are chosen based on your individual constitution, to create a deep penetrating effect on the skin as well as the internal organs and systems. The hot stones heat the body to assist the circulatory system and the activation of acupressure points improves digestion, treats underlying conditions and strengthens the immune system.

This “light tissue” massage creates a highly relaxing and soothing treatment. The major benefits of a lymph drainage massage is detoxification, which will help to clear blemished skin, eliminate cellulite, losing weight, strengthen the immune system, treats pain and improves energy.

Reflexology is an ancient practice that deals with the reflexes in the head, hands and feet, which relate to various parts of the body including glands, organs and systems. Reflex points are stimulated using the thumb and index finger with gentle pressure. Reflexology is a soothing & relaxing treatment that helps to relieve stress and tension, improve circulation, unblock nerve impulses and assist the body’s natural defense against illness.

Tui-Na is a Chinese therapeutic massage which uses pressure, manipulation and a variety of techniques to promote Qi (vital energy, pronounced “chee”) and blood flow within the body, utilizing the Traditional Chinese Medicine meridians and acu-points. Tui-Na is used to treat the illnesses which begin on the “surface” of the body as aches, pains and other symptoms found in the muscles, neck and head, which, if left untreated, can move deeper into the “interior” of the body, affecting internal organs. Like Acupuncture, Tui-Na is considered to be effective not only for muscular problems but also for a whole range of ailments that can produce better results than conventional massage.
