Massage
Massage is a vehicle that helps the body to start to heal itself and promotes physical and mental well being. We offer many types of massage, that are sure to meet your needs.
Traditional Massage
Therapeutic/Deep Tissue – trigger points and deep pressure are utilized in strokes to release problem areas.
Sports – incorporates specific stretches and expert knowledge of yoga to provide muscle release.
Prenatal – Teresa, a mother of three, knows first hand what areas become tight and achy in pregnancy. Her experience as a mother and massage therapist allows her to understand problem areas and use the proper strokes to soothe any pain or discomfort. Also, at 38 weeks, she can induce certain trigger points to aid the onset of childbirth.
LaStone Therapy (Use of Hot & Cold Stones)
LaStone challenges the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which will reduce inflammation and congestion in body fluids. This is due to the practice of alternating various temperatures of the stones to the body; resulting in a chemical response. This is a “vascular gymnastics” which assists the body in self-healing.
Chakra balancing, energy work, toning with crystals and the stones blended with the science of thermal therapy, benefits the client beyond measure. LaStone administers these principles with unerring elegance.

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT) is a barefoot massage technique using deep strokes utilizing the therapists’ feet. It is a western version of an ancient form of bodywork, with roots dating back thousands of years from cultures across Asia, India, Africa and the Pacific Rim.

Fuzion
From years of being a therapist and learning several different modalities, Teresa realizes that some clients could use a little of each modality within one session. She decided to creatively blend the therapies she’s been trained in to customize a massage for each client’s particular needs. These therapies include, but are not limited to, Deep Tissue, Sports, Ashiatsu and the use of Hot/Cold Stone stones.
