Cupping is an excellent way to access deep tissue muscles with the aid of glass or plastic cups which use suction to draw out imbalances. In Chinese medicine, these imbalances are due to stuck engery or "qi" which need to be drawn to the surface in order to be dispersed. In most cases, clients have felt immediate relief from: tight muscles, chronic pain and other symptoms of dis-ease.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork.

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.
