Services
Deep Tissue Massage
This technique targets chronic muscle tension through focused pressure on deeper tissue layers. Using slow strokes and deep finger pressure, it addresses misalignment and repetitive strain injuries while maintaining client comfort through open communication about pressure preferences. Particularly effective for persistent pain in shoulders, neck, and lower back regions.
Geriatric Massage
Specially adapted massage therapy for older adults performed with clients fully clothed. Enhances circulation, improves joint mobility, and addresses age-related discomfort while providing valuable therapeutic touch that combats social isolation. Sessions focus on maintaining mobility and managing chronic conditions common in senior populations.
BodyReflex Therapy
Lisa's proprietary technique combining Swedish strokes, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Utilizes muscle origin-insertion points with stretching and friction techniques to release fibrotic tissue, improve circulation, and alleviate nerve irritation through rhythmic sacrum rocking movements developed in the 1990s.
Ayurvedic Herbal Massage
Traditional Indian treatment using warmed gingelly oil and systematic stroking patterns. Begins with exfoliation using a loofa sponge followed by warm towel application in a heated room. This 90-minute session promotes deep relaxation while balancing bodily energies through specific hand techniques targeting marma points.
Copper Bowl Foot Soak
40-minute wellness treatment combining global sea salts and essential oils in a warm foot bath. Features 10 minutes of immersion followed by a 30-minute therapeutic foot massage that improves circulation and reduces foot-related discomfort through targeted pressure point stimulation.
