Massage Therapy
Overview:
Massage has been used for centuries and is one of the oldest forms of natural healing/bodywork. Massage Therapy is equally an art as it is science. With that, Nicole combines her knowledge of human anatomy and her practice of loving awareness to each session.
Therapeutic Massage is a wonderful modality to relieve stress and lower cortisol levels. In addition to relaxation, we can work on specific areas of tension, injury or a combination. Either way, Nicole aims to leave you feeling well rested. Specific tools [i.e. cups, gua sha, essential oils] may be incorporated into your session based on your needs and goals.
Movements and natural alternatives may be suggested. Nicole believes in working with the body so it responds and opens up; this doesn't mean pressure that hurts during session.
We will have a brief consult prior to each session. Every time you are in it is a new experience while also building on the last. It is recommended to keep talking limited during your session for your healing experience and for Nicole to tune fully into the body.
Please note: excessive pressure will not be used and is counteractive to opening and engaging. Recommendations and feedback are provided after each massage. All mediums used for massage are made by Nicole with organic ingredients. Products can be purchased.

For no shows,you will be charged the full amount of the session.
The Little Things
-
Put hair up so the neck is accessible for work; this also limits oil getting into the hair.
-
Remove all jewelry that would get in the way of treatment [e.g., bracelets, watches, necklaces, big earrings].
-
You are covered with a sheet [draped] and only the part of the body being worked on is exposed.
-
If you are sore the day after a massage it may be from muscles that were very tight being released or your pressure may need to be adjusted the next time you are in. Remember, massage therapy doesn't need to hurt to be effective; you don't want your muscles to tense during treatment.
