Hot Stone Massage :: Hot basalt stones are guided over the body with aromatherapeutic oils to relax tense muscles, increase circulation, and promote an overall sense of well-being. Deep tissue and trigger point release are also part of this profoundly relaxing, grounding treatment.
Raindrop Therapy :: Raindrop Technique is a treatment involving the anointing with oils and certain massage strokes that brings structural and electrical alignment to the body in a relaxing and invigorating manner through the power of essential oils. Every organ muscle, and bone in the body is stimulated at a cellular level, boosting the immune system, bringing body into structural/electrical balance, and enabling the release of toxins. Michele uses only Young Living essential oils.
Swedish/Deep Tissue :: This massage is tailored to whatever the client needs in the moment. Starting with Swedish strokes to spread oil, increase circulation, and soothe the nervous system, Michele then moves into deeper work. Direct pressure and/or friction are used to release chronic patterns of muscle tension.
