Services
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage combines multiple modalities including deep tissue, Swedish, and trigger point therapy to relieve pain and reduce stress. Our licensed therapists target specific musculoskeletal issues using techniques refined over 35 years of clinical practice. This treatment benefits clients seeking relief from chronic pain, postural imbalances, or acute injuries through hands-on manual therapy.
Ashiatsu Therapy
Ashiatsu Therapy utilizes controlled foot pressure to deliver deep tissue work without excessive force. Therapists use overhead bars for balance while applying broad, gliding strokes across the body. This Japanese technique improves circulation, releases muscle tension, and provides deeper penetration than traditional hand-based massage through evenly distributed pressure.
Hydroderm Facial
Hydroderm Facial integrates hydrodermabrasion, oxygen infusion, and cryotherapy for comprehensive skin renewal. The Zemits DermeLuxx PRO system exfoliates dead skin cells, delivers targeted serums, and soothes with cold therapy. This three-step treatment addresses texture irregularities, hydration needs, and signs of aging through advanced esthetic technology for visible skin improvement.
Couples Massage
Couples Massage offers synchronized treatments in private dual-therapist rooms with ambient lighting. Available in relaxation, deep tissue, or specialty techniques, this service accommodates customized preferences for both partners. The experience includes side-by-side massage tables, shared aromatherapy options, and post-treatment relaxation in our spa lounge for enhanced bonding opportunities.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release targets connective tissue restrictions causing chronic pain and limited mobility. Therapists apply sustained pressure to fascial layers, addressing adhesions from injury, inflammation, or poor posture. This technique improves range of motion, reduces tension headaches, and restores natural tissue elasticity through specialized manual therapy protocols developed over decades of clinical practice.

Amazing! I got the tension zone massage and I feel great. It includes facial and scalp massage, as well as shoulders, back, and hip areas. It is an hour and 20 mins of pure bliss. Hot stones and mud are used as well, and I would highly recommend. Shelly was very professional and talented at her job. I would use her every time I go. Thank you so much and I can't wait to go back.

Deb was absolutely amazing. I did the Zanzibar session and I honestly think it was the best massage I have ever had. My skin felt amazing after the body scrub as well. Definitely recommend!

I have never had a massage before so I was very nervous. I suffer with chronic illness and pain so I was apprehensive about people massaging muscles because of my pain. This place really relaxed my nerves! All the workers there were so friendly and walked me through every step that was going to happen! I have never felt more relaxed! They kept asking me if the pressure was okay which I really appreciated! They hit all of the focus spots I wanted and it felt so good! If I wasn't just here for Mayo and I lived around here, I would come everyday! This place deserves more stars!

Laura was absolutely wonderful for my prenatal massage. She was incredibly gentle in areas that felt tender and sensitive, while also working out the stiffness in my neck, shoulders, and back. She also offered tips on stretches that would help relieve future tension. I have already noticed a change in my posture and ability to move and I'm beyond grateful to her!

Nikki is the best massage therapist I've ever seen! I experience chronic pain and have ptsd so feeling safe enough to get a massage is a rare occurrence for me. Nikki makes me feel so safe I actually fell asleep during the massage! Plus my pain has significantly decreased since seeing her regularly. I highly recommend booking with her!
