A comprehensive listing of all the massage-related services offered by Goddess Within. Please note that times listed are total treatment time. Additional time is required for intake interviews at the beginning of our appointment.
How long should my massage session last?
If you want to focus on one specific area, then I suggest 30
minutes.
If you want full-body massage to address each area of your
body equally, then I suggest 60 minutes.
If you want full-body massage, and would like to focus on two specific areas, then I suggest 90 minutes.
If this is your first massage, then I suggest 90 minutes.
If this is your first massage in a long while, or if you have
recently experienced emotional or physical trauma, then
I suggest 90 minutes.
Couples Massage
Share wellness with someone special who shares your life.I have teamed up with Devin Hardy, LMT of Simple Wellness, LLC to offer massage for couples at my Parkville office location.
This
service gives both you and your beloved the chance to receive a gentle,
restorative massage side by side in a safe, relaxing atmosphere. Quiet
music and attentive therapists make couples massage an experience you
don't want to miss.
This is an excellent gift for birthdays,
anniversaries, holidays, getaways, or when you just need to share some
quiet time together.
(This fee structure does not include couples' hot stone massage, which is priced separately.)
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep
tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that targets adhesions and
restricted areas well beneath the surface muscle tissue. Long, slow
strokes offer increased pressure to coax soft-tissue restrictions to
relax. I may use fingers, fists, elbows, or forearms for this type of
massage. It is important that we keep up a dialogue about how you are
experiencing the pressure. While this is one of the more intense forms of
treatment, we can customize the pressure and areas worked, so that this
treatment is tolerable and has the maximum therapeutic effect.Note that deep tissue massage is not a treatment that will benefit everyone. If you request this service, then we will discuss whether this type of massage is a tool that can be used for your benefit. Goddess Massage
Goddess Massage is my signature massage service. This blissful treatment offers a nurturing blend of Reiki energy, gentle stretching, and integrative strokes to open body tissues and soothe the spirit. Afterwards, you will feel joyful and renewed.
*Please allocate 75 to 90 minutes for Goddess Massage.*
Hot Stone Massage
A
longtime favorite spa treatment, hot stone massage is a luxurious
treatment that combines the best of soothing heat and pampering
relaxation. This decadent service features massaging hands that find the
points that need attention, as the gentle warmth of heated stones
permeates the body.
All
guests are required to complete an intake form when first presenting
for services. The use of heat during a treatment requires a thorough
discussion of health history, in order to maintain your safety and
comfort. This treatment may be inappropriate for some.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is a gentle treatment that offers long, slow strokes to soothe and relax the muscles, so that your stress melts away. Afterwards, you will feel relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
Targeted Massage
Targeted massage is a blend of Swedish massage with various basic and advanced massage styles and techniques to address specific ailments or complaints.
Targeted sessions are an excellent choice when you wish to focus on specific issues for improvement.
Note that full-body treatment is not offered with this service.
Massage for Headaches
Headache
sufferers know that that we can experience headaches for any number of
reasons: insufficient sleep, hormones, allergies, and more. Even when we
understand some of the contributing factors that lead to headaches,
nothing makes the pain of headaches seem any more tolerable.
I
offer massage for headaches as a treatment that is focused on the upper
body, with special attention to the scalp. Living pain-free requires
free movement of all of the moveable structures of our bodies. Massage
creates more movement. Movement is a good thing.
Massage helps
facilitate free movement of the limbs, which we often discuss. In
addition, massage helps to loosen tight, restricted muscles and
connective tissue--which, in turn, creates space for free movement of
blood and lymph.
If you have headaches, consider adding massage
to treat headaches to your existing massage treatment, or having a
standalone treatment. Either way, you will receive a profound benefit.
