* Sports massage - specially adapted techniques to deal with the effects of athletic performance and injury recovery.

* Tui Na - this Chinese therapeutic technique is a vigorous massage performed through clothing using brushing, kneading, rolling and pressing techniques to stimulate acupressure points.

* Wavetone - The WaveStone ’s unique White Jade healing properties allow it to be warmed and cooled adding with stimulating the circulatory system, softening of tissues and muscles and helping with the breakdown and release of toxins.

Appointments begin with information gathering and the client is asked to only remove clothing to their level of comfort if oil or wax is being used during the massage. The client's modesty is respected at all times and the massage therapist will undrape only the part of the body being massaged.
