Reiki - Translated from Japanese as “universal life energy,” is a technique for stress reduction and deep relaxation that also promotes healing physically, mentally- emotionally, energetically and/or spiritually.

Having been practiced for thousands of years, Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in March 1922. It involves a trained practitioner placing or hovering their hands over different areas of the client’s body, including over energy centers, also called chakras.

A session may begin with intention-setting, grounding breathwork and guided meditation and progress into the laying or hovering of hands as the client rests lying down in a meditative state. By request, a Reiki session may be accompanied by a private soundbath with crystal singing bowls and other instruments to promote inner harmony.

Full Body Flow - A flow of multiple styles such as Deep Tissue, Thai, Reflexology, Swedish, Sports Massage, Aromatherapy, and Myofascial Release. Through an opening ritual with breathwork and a short guided meditation, we tune into what your body needs both energetically and physically. In this elevated state, the mind is clear and ready to receive deeper therapy. The journey then takes you along the various traditional methods. There is an unscripted creativity in Flow Massage allowing the body to open in new ways each session.

Deep Tissue - Slow, deep and intentional strokes with elbows, palms, thumbs and knuckles are used to target muscles deep to the body. "Deep tissue" does not necessarily mean “deep pressure” but rather an intention to release restrictions in fascia and muscle tissue where more superficial techniques cannot be accessed. When done slowly, the techniques may induce a parasympathetic nervous system response resulting in relaxation.

Swedish Massage - The core concentration is relaxation by calming the sympathetic nervous system. Light to medium pressure is used with long gliding strokes to promote the flow of blood, lymph and chi.

Prenatal - Similar to a Swedish massage — prenatal massage is a relaxing experience for the mom and baby. Prenatal massage aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and overall makes you feel more comfortable and at ease. Plan on a few modifications with body positioning that can ensure the safety and comfort for both mother and baby.

Lymphatic Drainage - Lymphatic Drainage consists of specific light pressure strokes to activate the lymphatic system. By stimulating and increasing lymphatic flow it improves tissue recovery, edema reduction, parasympathetic response, and a soothing effect.

Myofascial Release - Myofascial release uses a combination of techniques focusing on the manipulation of the fascia. Myofascia is the connective tissue covering and compartmentalizing each one of our muscles. Releasing tension in the fascia can increase its ability to do its normal functions of transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste.

Swedish - During a Swedish massage you can expect a more relaxing experience using more gentle techniques to release muscle tension stored in the body. Can be done with varying pressure and includes long strokes and kneading.

Deep Tissue - Deep tissue massage uses more pressure to access tension deeper in the muscles and connective tissue. Each of your muscles consist of bundles of muscle fibers which are encased in a web of collagen called fascia. Fascia runs through and around every muscle in your body and acts as the glue that holds your muscle tissues together.

Trigger point - A trigger point is a small tight area in the band of muscle fibers and fascia which restricts blood flow to the area and causes pain. Techniques like Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue Massage work to release trigger points by pushing fresh blood in and flushing waste material out. This helps relieve pain by bringing in more oxygen to the area and encouraging the muscles to release. The objective of trigger point therapy is releasing or softening a muscle knot to reduce (or eliminate) the knot pain and associated pain. This release happens by applying various levels of pressure to muscle knots, and then stretching the affected areas through a complete range of motion.

Sports Massage: Sports massage addresses imbalances in the body that may be preventing ROM and athletic performance. Pre-event sports massage can be used to address the immediate needs of the athlete in a quick way with no intention on actually “correcting” a core issue in the muscle tissue, but rather simply allowing the athlete to move in the way that is necessary to perform. Post-event massage can be used to dive into the core ROM restrictions for greater athletic performance.

Impact injury: Various techniques to encourage circulatory movement, stretch out tightness, loosen scar tissue, and increase vital nutrients and oxygen to soft tissues and organs. Using massage as part of injury rehab can help shorten recovery time.

Neuromuscular Therapy: is a form of clinical massage that focuses on trigger points (sensitive, taut bands of muscle) and their associated pain referral patterns. This type of therapeutic work utilizes diagnostic tools such as physical assessment, orthopedic tests and manual muscle testing without diagnosing. This treatment is for everyone. It is particularly helpful if you are working through an injury or if you still have chronic pain and movement impairment long after an injury has healed. Your therapist will work with you to address chronic pain, dysfunctional movement patterns and increase range of motion so that you not only feel great during the body work session but also expand your level of body awareness in your day-to-day life.

Buccal massage: Buccal or Intraoral massage is a treatment that involves a therapist using gloved hands to massage the muscles inside the mouth. This type of massage is used to target the muscles associated with jaw movement that are not accessible via touching the face. It is a great option for anyone dealing with TMJ dysfunction, dental work, chronic headaches, and grinding or clenching during sleep.

Trigger Point Therapy: is a specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on identifying and releasing trigger points in muscles. Trigger points are localized areas of muscle tension and tightness that can cause pain and discomfort in specific areas of the body. They are often associated with muscle knots and can refer pain to other parts of the body. Trigger point therapy can be highly effective for addressing specific areas of pain and tension.

Sport Massage: is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to address the unique needs of athletes and individuals engaged in rigorous physical activity.

Table Thai Massage: Table Thai is a Whole- body Thai massage treatment done on the table. It is a 60–90-minute routine in four positions, supine, prone, side-lying and sitting up with the receiver fully clothed. Thai bodywork is a lot more than just physical stretching. It is Therapeutic in nature, affecting multiple layers of the physical, mental and the spiritual energetic bodies. It employs a theory of energy channels similar to the Ayurvedic and yogic concept of Nadis and an extensive network of energy lines flowing through our body. The Thai theory for healing is to open up these lines of energy through proper stretches & compressions, applying smooth- flowing sequences of movement, to work the whole body, all the joints and main muscle groups as well as energy meridians.

Traditional Thai Foot Reflexology: Thai foot reflexology is said to be a fusion of reflexology, Acupuncture, Japanese Shiatsu, and Indian Ayurveda. According to acupuncture theory, the human foot has 7,200 sensory nerve endings which connected to the body’s Sen (Prana) lines and the internal organs. During a Thai Reflexology session pressure points alongside the Sen lines are gently stimulated to restore the free Flow of energy. In addition to leaving you feeling relaxed, the stimulation of reflex points on the feet heals the body and mind and enhances overall well-being.

Cupping: A form of alternative medicine in which specialized cups are placed on the skin. Through suction and negative pressure, cupping therapy releases soft tissue, gets rid of toxins and intensifies blood to stagnant skin, muscles and connective tissues. Through active manipulation of the cups, cupping acts as a type of specialized heat activated deep-tissue massage. Cupping can help with pain, inflammation, lymphatic drainage, as well as promoting relaxation and a general feeling of tension release. Yael's Cupping techniques include Fire Cupping and Kinetic Cupping.

Advanced Muscular Reconditioning & PNF - Advanced Muscular Reconditioning improves muscle function, erases trigger points and reduces pain. PNF involves the use of isometric exercises to strengthen weak muscles in complex joints. Very effective for shoulder dysfunction.

Passive Stretching & Positional Relief - Passive stretching is effective and delightful to receive. Positional release breaks positive feedback loops where pain causes muscle spasm, which in turn causes more pain. When massage doesn't break the loop, we passively strike a pose and wait. Expect a 70-80% reduction in pain, reduced spasm and increased strength in seconds.

Shiatsu - Shiatsu is translated as finger pressure. Its Japanese traditional massage, can be very deep, and is highly effective. Shiatsu is done fully clothed and covered by a sheet and towel.

Swedish: When booking a Swedish massage, expect a relaxing "spa-type" experience. This massage consists of long gliding strokes at a light to medium pressure, with kneading techniques and various stretches incorporated into each session to address specific needs. This modality is great for calming the body while improving the circulation of blood, lymph and chi. Essential oils and hot towels can also be included for a holistic experience your body will thank you for!

Deep Tissue: When booking a deep tissue massage, expect a "fix-it" type of massage experience. Strokes in a deep tissue massage are slower and more intentional, with the goal of targeting specific muscles or tendons that are causing the client pain or mobility issues. Incorporating elbows, fists, and thumbs, pressure is typically firmer than a Swedish massage. While it is still relaxing to feel muscles release and knots be dissolved, you will find a bigger benefit in chronic pain and mobility issues being reduced or erased after just one session. With consistent sessions, results will continue to grow and you will feel even better in your body with each session!

Cupping: A practice that has been around since ancient times, cupping is another great modality for treating pain. Silicone cups are placed on the skin above problematic areas, creating a tight seal that produces a nice compression on the muscle tissue. This modality goes great with a deep tissue massage but can also be booked as a 10-minute standalone treatment. Expect meaningful reductions in pain, adhesions and inflammation while also benefiting from a fresh blood supply to the cupped areas!
