Massage is one of the oldest forms of remedial therapy. First practiced in a structured manner in China and Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago, the art of massage was already well known to the physicians of ancient Greece when Hippocrates, "Father of Medicine," wrote in the 5th century B.C. that "the way to health is a scented bath and an oiled massage every day."
Massage is an excellent way to relax the mind and body, and to bring relief from the stresses of everyday. A regular body massage can enhance general health and vitality, while specialized methods can coax tension from muscles, ease stiff joints and promote healthy circulation. Massage is helpful for almost any condition especially tension headaches, back pain, hyperactivity and, also, insomnia.
Conditions that respond best to massage:
Anxiety and depression
Heart disorders
Hyperactivity
Back and neck pain
High blood pressure
Insomnia
Circulatory disorders
Headaches
Stress and its related disorders
Physical discomfort and pain in parts of the musculoskeletal system

Deep Tissue: 30 min $65, 45 min $90
A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, utilizing heavy pressure. This technique releases toxins from muscles and gets blood and oxygen circulating properly. With slow deep strokes, the therapist works to lengthen the muscle fibers, restore balance, and reestablish structural and functional integrity.

Hot Stone Massage: 60 min $95, 90 min $135
HotStone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity, while the placing of different sized stones on the body's chakra points is meant to create a more balanced flow of energy.

Reflexology: 30 min $55
Reflexology is a therapeutic method of relieving pain by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. In the absence of any particular malady or abnormality, reflexology may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness.

Reiki: 45min $80, 60min $110, 90min $150
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it's high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words- Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy".
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including the body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results. It is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
