Swedish Massage
Experience full-body relaxation with the popular Swedish Massage, targeting superficial muscles with light-to-firm, flowing strokes to melt tension, boost circulation, and restore energy. I blend traditional techniques with aromatherapy, warm basalt stones, infrared and heat, for a deeply restorative session, perfect for stress relief or first-time massage clients seeking overall well-being. Benefits include reduced pain, improved sleep, and enhanced flexibility.
The four most common strokes used in Swedish massage are:
- Effleurage: soothing, gliding strokes
- Petrissage: squeezing, rolling, or kneading
- Friction: deep, circular movements to increase blood flow and loosen scar tissue
- Tapotement: tapping with cupped hands, fingers, or the edge of the hand
- Vibration: shaking tissues
The development of Swedish massage is credited to Dutch practitioner, Johan Georg Mezger, who adopted the French names to denote the basic strokes. But, a "Swedish" massage does not derive its name from the country of Sweden.

Massage Cupping
Massage Cupping is a technique using suction cups to lift skin and tissue, creating negative pressure to boost circulation, release stagnant energy, and draw out toxins. In Western terms, it decompresses fascia, breaks down adhesions, improves lymphatic drainage, and reduces muscle tension by pulling tissues upward, effectively addressing restrictions and promoting fluid movement for deeper healing than traditional pressure massage. They have also shown to be effective in loosening and softening scar tissue and fibrotic tissue.
While cupping is deeply ingrained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with ancient roots, historical evidence suggests its use predates TCM in ancient Egypt and Greece with Ayurvedic texts like Sushruta Samhita also describing similar procedures (Raktamokshan), implying a shared, ancient global practice rather than a singular origin.

Castor Oil/Lemon Treatments
Castor Oil Abdominal Packs and the
Lemon/Castor Oil Foot Treatment are both a refreshing, cleansing, experience! These treatments are offered in conjunction with a bodywork session.
Castor Oil is considered one of the most healing oils on the planet with a wide and impressive therapeutic application. The oil is derived from the castor bean plant, Ricinus Communis, which is native to India.
It is a key medicinal used in Ayurvedic medicine for millennia and was studied and promoted in the US during the mid-20th century by Dr. Edgar Cayce, holistic health pioneer.
Castor Oil Abdominal Packs:
Castor oil is applied topically to the abdomen and is absorbed through the skin into the underlying visceral and tissues spaces, along with the application of heat which helps it to penetrate.
Its therapeutic action on the tissues include flushing, cleansing, emollient / softening of gall stones, skin, and dry, arthritic tissue, liver-detoxifier, mild to moderate laxative effect and so on. It also increases lymphocyte production and the circulation of the lymphatic system.
Lemon/Castor Oil/Salt Foot Treatment:
The combination of castor oil, salt, and lemon, is a powerful triple effect that opens the pores and the nerve endings in the feet, and the excretory channels of the kidneys and liver, drawing out impurities.
The salt has a gentle skin exfoliating effect as well as balancing tissues pH. The lemon is an excellent stimulant to the lymphatics moving stagnant lymphatic fluid in the feet back into venous circulation. The treatment also helps to cool the body and feels wonderful!
