Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage incorporates a variety of advanced modalities that enhance the body’s natural restorative functioning. Light to firm touch is used to release tension, relax muscles, increase blood and lymph circulation, and impart a sense of calm. Therapeutic massage can be used as a collaborative, supportive addition to conventional medical treatment of illness and injury, alleviating pain and stress, aiding soft tissue healing, and revitalizing the body.​

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi
You can think of this type of massage as a healing practice that releases blockages, promotes circulation, and shifts energy. Long, flowing movements along the body mimic the waves of the ocean. This is only done in a 90 minute minimum session because it is a slow practice.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is one of the most commonly offered massage techniques. I uses long gliding strokes to promote circulation of blood and relaxation. It's sometimes called a relaxation massage. Swedish massage is gentler than deep tissue massage and better suited for people interested in relaxation and tension relief.

This technique helps alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and fatigue, promoting relaxation and overall well-being. Additionally, prenatal massage can enhance circulation, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality, providing a nurturing experience for both mother and baby. It's a wonderful way to connect with your body during this transformative time.
Hawaiian Hot Stone Massage (Pohaku)
Pohaku massage uses hot stones along the whole body to massage the tissue. Oil is used to create a smooth glide along the skin and the warmth from the stones helps the muscles relax and sooth the soul. This can be a pure relaxation massage or a deeper, more therapeutic massage. ​
