Unfortunately, due to recent copy-cat websites, other unscrupulous individuals (so-called professionals and instructors), and some undesirable clients we have decided to remove most of our photos. We decided that it was better to have fewer pages and fewer photos, so that it is easier for visiting clients to find the information they are looking for; more user-friendly. As a result we have completely removed all of our separate “PHOTO” pages. We apologize for any inconvenience that this change may have caused the rest of our good visitors, but it only takes a few bad apples to spoil the whole bunch. We sincerely hope that these changes have not confused or frustrated anyone. We only wish to serve humanity and to help prevent suffering for ourselves and others, but unfortunately sometimes there are some individuals who try to take our compassion for humanity as a weakness and, therefore, try to take advantage of us while others try to pervert our pure efforts. It is this reason that has led us to feel obligated to make all of these changes to our website. If anyone has any comments, suggestions, questions, or needs assistance with anything else please feel free to contact us via email or by phone. We are here to help, because we truly care.

• Thai Medical Massage©- Translation "The practical expression of loving kindness". Also known as 'Nuat phaen boran thai', which literally means "The old Thai way of healing with the hands". This type of Massage originated in Thailand and is traditionally done on a Thai Mat on the floor and traditionally performed while the client is fully clothed (though it is necessary to wear very loose soft clothes, NO jeans, NO belts, NO bras, or any other restrictive garments), but it is not limited to only clothed sessions. This style of massage considers the entire person on all levels: spiritual/emotional, Mental/intellectual, energetic/magnetic, and physical/material. It uses the whole body to treat the whole body (the Therapist may use any body part necessary to be most effective for the clients needs; Ex: knees, elbows, hands, feet, etc.). This form of massage has been considered to be a cousin of Yoga and incorporates many different elements, ranging from compression, accupressure, trigger points, stretching, and range-of-motion, to gentle rhythmic rocking and percussion. Nuat Thai Medical Massage© is unlimited in its depth and diversity and will without a doubt expand your ideas of what body-work can be; it is body-work at its best! This has also been traditionally done involving other treatments of Thai Medicine such as the use of herbs, aromatherapy oils/essential oils (this would require the client to undress), and some forms of chinese medicine and ayurvedic medicine. Enhances the Body/Mind /Psyche Connection, Reduces Stress and Enhances Sense of Well Being, Relaxes and Loosens tight muscles, Reduces Pain and Referred Pain from Trigger Points, Reduces Swelling and Edema Increasing Circulation of Fluid and Oxygen to All Deficient Areas, Increases Range of Motion, Effective treatment in Psycho-Somatic and Psychological Illness, Effective Treatment in many kinds of Soft Tissue Related Disorders, Stress Related Infertility and Impotence, Chronic Fatigue and Related Syndromes, Balances The Four Essential Elements of Life, ( Earth, Water, Wind and Fire ), Karmic Blockage and Stagnation. This is probably the best therapy all around. For anyone interested in taking classes in Traditional Thai Medical Massage© Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 &/or 5 you can see our Classes page.

• Myofascial Release Therapy - This type of massage is aimed at loosening fascial tissue (connective tissue). Fascial tissue is the tissue that connects and separates all the different types of tissue in the body: separates and covers each fiber of muscle, separates and covers each bundle of muscle fibers, separates and covers each whole muscle, connects muscle to muscle, muscle to tendon, tendon to tendon, tendon to bone, bone to bone, and ligament to ligament, even skin to muscle! Basically it is the tissue that separates and connects all the tissue of the entire body. This form of massage is designed to loosen fascial tissue which might restrict muscle tissue or fascial tissue which may cause imbalance in the body. This work is very specific and is recommended only for those clients with a high tolerance for discomfort or like a hard and deep type of massage, also those in sever imbalance who need a more aggressive therapy to get them back in balance.

• Therapeutic Massage - This form of massage may be a hybrid form of massage that uses any type of techniques from any of the other methods of massages in order to gain therapeutic results for each individual clients needs. Most therapists have there own unique blend or style of Therapeutic Massage. This is one of the most common types of massage and is very beneficial to help clients who have specific problem areas in need of specific types of massage work. The pressure tends to be hard and may be slightly uncomfortable when working on trouble spots. One of the main principles that is necessary to understand is that there are only two basic ways of relieving tight muscle and soft tissue and that is the use of pressure and stretching. A good therapeutic massage should incorporate techniques which utilize both pressure and stretches.

• Swedish massage/Relaxing Massage - This type of massage is probably the most common and the most popular among the world because it is what most people think of when they think of massage. This is the classic relaxing massage that soothes with gentle caressing and gentle kneading, effluerage, petrosage, and percussion. This gentle dreamy massage is best for calming the nerves, helping to improve sleep, blood and lymph circulation, and hydrating/moisturizing the skin. It is not recommended for someone who is looking to loosen tight muscle tension, or who has chronic pains associated with tension (To help with tension a therapy which uses pressure/compression and stretches will work best).

• "Pregnancy" Massage (Prenatal / Postnatal / & Labor) - This type of massage is designed especially for the needs of  a pregnant woman. The pregnant mother needs massage more at this time then nearly any other time in her life. Pillows will be strategically placed to accommodate her belly and allow it room to hang WITHOUT any pressure being applied to it. This is a fairly gentle form of massage using especially blended essential oils (lavender and citrus oils) which are gentle and have many benefits to pregnant women such as, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, energizing, fresh, clean, helps with headaches, improves circulation, calming, helps increase natural endorphins, helps prevent breast cancer, encourages milk let down, eases breast discomfort due to engorgement, and helps to avoid stretch marks. Many special accommodations are taken into account to customize the treatment to the needs of the pregnant woman such as working on the digestion (to help with digestive discomforts), working on the legs (to help with those darn leg cramps), Low back work (to help relieve that extra strain on the low back), and specific gentle work for breast discomfort due to engorgement and swelling. Also to avoid stretch marks special essential oils are applied to those areas, namely: the belly, butt, and breasts. No pregnant women should go without this treatment!!! If you know a pregnant women you should get her a gift certificate today! Try one of our package deals, don't wait, get mother a "Twelve Pack" and a "Six Pack" for the baby when it comes too! (Check out our special package deals by clicking on Massage & Spa Minimum Donations page, then scroll down to Packages to view what we have to offer.)

• Infant Massage - This is a very gentle type of massage very much like light kneading of dough. Infants generally love massage and respond well to it. Also as with the mother this is another one of the most important times for massage. For a baby it is important because they have just been squeezed through a very small space and with such soft bones this may cause bones to be pressed too tightly together or they may be misplaced. Also it is important due to the fact that at this young age they grow quickly and may have pain associated with it. This many times is why babies are frequent criers. This type of massage helps them to feel better, to be more content, to sleep better, sometimes it helps them even to eat better. So, I guess you can say it is not only good for the baby but it is good for the parents too!

• Trigger Point Therapy - This type of massage is specific and zeros in on trouble spots. By the use of specific and direct application of pressure on trouble areas the therapist will hold pressure on these key points for a few moments while getting feed back from the client informing the therapist of the level of discomfort ranging from '1 the lightest' to '10 the most unbearable' (the ideal is to maintain a therapeutic level of 7-8). While the therapist holds these trigger points at 7-8 the client will inform them if the discomfort seems to move any where or if they notice a new discomfort somewhere else, if so the same procedure is followed for that point until all of the trigger points have been alleviated. This is an intensive and tedious procedure for both the therapist and the client but the results are worth it.

• Reflexology - This type of body-work is an ancient egyptian treatment that is based on the idea that every part of the body is connected to every other part and it is reflected in the points on the feet, hands, and ears. These points on the feet, hands, and ears are worked on with a good deal of pressure and very thoroughly. Many times this can also be done to find trouble areas in the body then the therapist may wish to work both the trouble reflex point and the actual point on the body which correlates to that point at the same time. This work is most commonly focused on the feet. This is especially nice with custom blended essential oils (see: Aromatherapy below).

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage/Lymph massage- These forms of massage work especially with the lymphatic system of the body. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is designed to help drain lymph from the body and to encourage its movement, it is very helpful for those who have had some of there lymphatic system removed surgically, but it is also very helpful for anyone who would like to detoxify the body. Lymph Massage is very similar to Manual Lymphatic Drainage but it is applied to the entire body and follows all the lymphatic pathways through the body to encourage lymphatic drainage. This is very good as part of a regular maintenance program, especially when detoxifying the body is desired. It is a light and delicate work to stimulate circulation usually performed with some form of lotion or oils. (Note that 80% of the lymphatic fluids pass through the breast tissue and axillary nodes and therefore are important focus areas. However, women, please keep in mind that while the breasts are key focus areas you may still have the option of receiving a lymphatic massage without having your breasts worked on or exposed. See Therapeutic Breast Massage, or Health & Beauty Bust Treatment for more information.)

• Sports Massage (pre/post event) - This form of massage is design with the athlete in mind. In a pre-event sports massage the therapist uses fast stimulating massage techniques to invigorate the muscles and force blood and nutrients into the tissues to help boost performance and reduce the risk of injury. In post event the therapist will use slower massage techniques to cool down the muscles and help to loosen them up and work out any tension, knots, or spasms. There are a wide range of techniques applied for specific purposes determined by the clients needs and according to the sport or activity.

• Aromatherapy - This is the study and use of Essential Oils (from plants, herbs, flowers, fruits, roots, berries, etc.) which have many medicinal uses for many different purposes. The therapist will consult the client to find out what would best suit their individual needs and, then according to the information provided by the client, together they will determine which essentials oils would be best to use for the treatment. Aromatherapy can be added to almost any treatment and many include some aromatherapy as part of the session, just talk to your therapist if you would like to try it. To add aromatherapy to any treatment is a minimum $5.oo donation and you get to keep the extra oil and take the bottle used in your treatment home. To get a refill of your bottle simply bring it back with you and you can refill it with your next service for only a minimum $3.oo donation! If you would just like to purchase a custom blended oil it is a $10.oo donation and a refill is an $8.oo donation WITHOUT a service. Larger bottles are available upon request.

• Hot Rock Massage - The hot rock massage treatment is an ancient one used by native indians to sooth away aches and pains. It is a treatment that involves using water heated stones to massage the body while adding the soothing element of heat. The stones used are smooth semi-flattened river stones. First the therapist will apply oils to the entire body, then they will use the heated stones to massage and knead the muscles in long fluid massage strokes, then they will place the stones on some key chakras while performing additional massage techniques by hand. This is a great relaxing massage treatment (especially during the colder months!).

• Therapeutic Breast massage - This is a special form of massage designed especially for the needs of modern women due to all the environmental estrogenic stresses that women are exposed to which greatly increase the risks of developing breast cancer. This massage is highly recommended for ALL women, but especially for women who wear bras, have breast implants, women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, to help reduce discomfort due to monthly cycles, women who believe themselves to be at especially high risk, etc. It should be performed at least once a week (but optimally it is best daily!). Breast Massage is obviously designed specifically for the breasts and is a very light to medium pressure which varies slightly according to each technique. The massage technique focuses on the flow of lymphatic fluids through the breast tissue (over 80% of all lymphatic fluid travels through the breasts!) and also because the lymph flows along very similar pathways as the milk flow many of the techniques are geared towards the nipples and away like a spoked wheel. It is not uncommon for there to be lactation during the session due to the stimulation of lymphatic and milk fluids in any women (especially in pregnant or lactating women and is highly recommended to encourage milk production and let down, which helps to soothe discomfort due to engorgement). (Note: As good as Breast Massage is for helping pregnant women ease breast discomfort please note that one of the techniques which squeezes the nipples, however, will have to be avoided during the last trimester due to the fact that the nipples are an accupressure point which induces severe contractions and may cause premature labor. Women with a high risk pregnancy should avoid squeezing the nipples after the first trimester). This is also very good to help women trying or planning to breast feed or for women who have breast discomfort due to engorgement or menstruation (To avoid the breast discomfort caused from monthly cycles it is recommended that you have this treatment performed before you expect to have your menstruation for best results). To enhance the effectiveness of this breast treatment we use special essential oils to promote detoxification and to help promote healthy breast function as a whole and even female health in general. The special blend of essential oils used in this treatment (some of the purest available) have been shown to be especially helpful in cancer prevention and have even been shown to enhance the chances of remission in breast cancer, among many of the other benefits they have, according to an article in the Associated Press only a few years ago. The only treatment better than this one for breast health is the Health & Beauty Bust Treatment© (See below). This treatment as well as the Health & Beauty Bust Treatment© may reduce the risk of acquiring fibrocystic breasts or cancer by up to 21 times! These two treaments are the only true preventative therapies for women's breast health. Other treaments offered by the medical community, even though called 'prevention', are little more than a way to discover that you if you do, or do not already have breast cancer, but in reality do nothing at all to prevent the risks that lead to higher instances of breast problems in general, including breast cancer. (Note: This is not a guarantee that you will not develop these problems, but is merely a method to reduce your risk and to be used as a regular health maintenance program. Also a Caution: If you already have cancer massage is contra-indicated "meaning it should not be done" on that specific area where the cancer is located because it may facilitate the spread of it throughout the body). To learn more about the importance of breast health maintenance see our Breast Health page, or check out some of the breast health links on our Links page. Anyone interested in taking classes in the Health & Beauty Bust Treatment© can check out our Classes page .

• Polarity - This is a form of energy work designed to balance out the energy in the body and to align all of the chakras (energy vortices). The therapist may touch the body but it will always be rather light touch. This is very soothing and very relaxing. It has an almost magical ability to calm. We must say that we DO NOT charge for this type of energy session because we incorporate it and the universal spirit into every session we perform. Our clients always receive freely the benefit of our prayers as well.

  ---

• Reiki - Literal translation means "Divinely guided life-force energy". This type of energy work is focused more on the universal energy and using it to balance the clients energies. The therapist will act as a facilitator to channel universal life force energy to the client and allow it to heal them in its infinite grace and balance. This may be utilized by a very evolved therapist while performing other treatments. We must say that we DO NOT charge for this type of energy session because we incorporate it and the universal spirit into every session we perform. Our clients always receive freely the benefit of our prayers as well.

• Seaweed or Mud Body Wraps / & Aromatherapy Body Wraps (with herbs /or essential oils) - These body treatments are all alike in procedure, but differ only slightly in effect. First, The Seaweed Body Wrap is designed for a 'deep full body detoxification'. Second, The Mud Body Wrap is designed to 'detoxify the skin' and is good to 'balance hydration/oil of skin and help with acne' (For this reason the Mud Body Wrap is recommended for those individuals with acne problems). Third, Aromatherapy Body Wrap is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the specific essential oils/or herbs that have been chosen for the treatment. All of these body wraps are relaxing and help to hydrate the skin and encourage metabolism, which can improve the reduction of fat when used as part of a regular diet and exercise program, and they help the skin to appear more smooth and firm. This may start with a light exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, then the products of choice are applied to the entire body from the neck down to the toes and the client is wrapped up in a warm cocoon of heated blankets (Instead of heated blankets this can be done with a steam treatment), lastly after relaxing in the warmth for approximately 30 minutes the blankets are removed (or the steam tent/steamy wonder©/ etc. are removed), then a light full body massage follows with oils that compliment the treatment in order to enhance the longevity of the treatment's effectiveness. This is a heavenly treatment and is ideal for those special occasions that you want to look and feel your best or fit into that skimpy little string of an outfit to set the world on fire! (Note: genitals will be covered during this treatment.)

Once this is applied to the entire body it is sponged off by hand and is followed by a finishing lotion with a special blend of essential oils that enhances the detoxification effects and leaves your skin feeling like silk. This finishing lotion is lightly massaged into all the areas covered in the treatment. Talk about heaven! If you ever wondered what it is like to be royalty, this is it!
