BODYWORK OPTIONS
Therapeutic Massage:
Massage therapy enhances general health and well-being and has been proven effective for relaxation, relief of muscle tension and mental, emotional and spiritual renewal. A relaxing massage eases tensions with long, gliding strokes and muscle kneading. Deep tissue and myofascial release employ specific techniques to lengthen muscles and restore range of motion through a deep, penetrating attention to muscle groups.

Full-Body Hot Stone Massage:
With the use of hot stones on the entire body, this modality takes massage to a new level. Heat from the stones provides a relaxing, sedative effect on the nervous system, allowing muscle tissue to soften and relax.

Reflexology:
Reflexology is a special science that has its roots in the Far East and is an offshoot of acupuncture. Reflexology works with reflexes in the feet which correspond to all parts of the body. When specific points on the feet are given firm yet gentle touch, congestion in the corresponding region of the body is also unblocked so that circulation improves overall. Particular attention to the feet can refresh the whole body, relieve tension and improve nerve and blood supply.
