Swedish Massage (50 Minutes)
Swedish massage is a classic Western massage based on the Eastern concepts of anatomy and physiology, health and disease. The techniques of soft tissue manipulation are valuable for improving circulation of blood and lymph, reducing stress, relaxing muscles, and improving overall health. The massage is 50 minutes long; the client is undressed, but fully draped on a massage table. The body is always covered except for the part being worked; this insures your utmost comfort.

La Stone Therapy (50 Minutes)
Sometimes called hot stone massage, this treatment was developed over the last few years by Tucson massage therapist Mary Hunnigan, who says it was channeled to her from an American Indian guide. Using smooth dark stones heated in water, the massage therapist strokes your oiled skin, and then rests the stones on key areas, such as your palms and belly. Other stones beneath you press gently into your body. Stones are also placed between your toes and on your eyelids. It’s somewhere between a body treatment and a massage. This combination of the heat, aromatherapy oils, and strokes make it special.
*Mind body benefits – Deeply relaxing, relieves stiffness, soreness, and restores energy.
*You might like it if – you’re stressed and need to just let go, or you just like to experiment with different body treatments.

Polarity: (50 Minutes)
Polarity therapy was developed by an American, Randolph Stone (1890-1981), who spent his life exploring the role of energy in healing. Practitioners view Polarity as both hands-on bodywork and a philosophy of lie. Although it grew out of Stone’s studies in the United States, Europe and Asia, Polarity is mainly associated with Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine and philosophy. In Polarity theory, health is considered a balance among energies described as earth, fire, water and space. By contrast, imbalance is seen as the source of physical and emotional distress.

Through bodywork – involving hands placed along the body’s energy meridians, stretching and light rocking – the body’s own energy is brought into balance. Polarity is good for specific symptoms because it treats them as imbalance in the elements: too much earth, for example is felt as congestion or sadness, and needs to be alleviated with air.
*Mind body benefits: recipients report feeling lighter and calmer.
*Your might like it if – you prefer to stay clothed for bodywork, like gentle, non-invasive touch, or feel that standard massage does not bring relief for your symptoms.

Acupressure (Shiatsu) (50 Minutes)
Often called “Acupuncture without needles”, Shiatsu is based on ancient Chinese principles of energy (Ki, pronounced “chi”) balancing. Ki represents life force and it is stored in meridians (pathways) throughout the body. The harmonious flow of Ki along the meridians and within the organs is considered both the cause and effect of good health. The therapist uses palming, stretching, range of motion and finger pressure techniques to assist the person’s body to become balanced, energized and/or relaxed. The client should wear comfortable clothing (i.e. sweats, t-shirt, etc.)
