A relaxation massage session is based on Swedish massage strokes and various techniques that stimulate circulation and the removal of toxins, promote relaxation, alleviate muscle tension, and improve overall well-being.

Beyond its physical benefits, Swedish massage can also have a positive impact on mental and emotional well-being, helping to calm the mind and offering a sense of inner peace. This form of massage is the perfect go-to for self-care, stress relief, and unwinding after a long day.

In these sessions, pressure applied can range from light to firm, depending on the client's preferences, and the massage strokes are much slower to guide the body towards relaxation.

These massages may include essential oils whose properties have been proven to promote relaxation.

Sessions:

60 mins — $75

90 mins — $105

Therapeutic massage encompasses a wide range of massage techniques aimed at addressing particular areas of discomfort or dysfunction within the body. The techniques used in a therapeutic massage session can include Swedish relaxation strokes, deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching and lengthening, among others. Therapeutic essential oils and ointments may also be used with your permission.

As a new therapeutic massage client, you will have an assessment before your session begins, which will be the foundation for your treatment plan. Not every session will be the same, as our goal will be to create change and facilitate healing. The primary goal of therapeutic massage is to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion and posture, and enhance overall function.

Therapeutic massage is often integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan in collaboration with other healthcare providers, such as physical therapists, chiropractors, and physicians. It can also be used as a standalone therapy to promote relaxation, stress relief, and general well-being.

Sessions (a half-hour is added in booking for initial assessments) :

60 mins — $85

90 mins — $115

Mobile massage sessions are available for events, vacation locations, and office settings. Mobile massage sessions include either a massage table setting or chair massage. Most of these sessions tend to be relaxation-based, but all the techniques of a therapeutic massage are still offered.

Before the session begins, you'll have the opportunity to discuss your preferences and any specific areas of tension or discomfort. This ensures that the massage is tailored to your unique needs, whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, stress reduction, or simply relaxation.

In a portable massage table setting, the table will be set up in a quiet, comfortable area of your choosing. For my safety and yours, an area of 6x9 feet is required.

Mobile massage requires an extra hour for setup, discussion, and take-down. There is also an additional charge of $25 for each subsequent county outside of Otsego county.

To schedule mobile massage or arrange chair massage sessions, please contact Ashley.

Reflexology is a holistic healing technique rooted in the belief that various points on the feet correspond to specific areas of the body. This ancient practice is based on the principle that applying pressure to these reflex points can stimulate energy flow, promote relaxation, and restore balance within the body.

Although Reflexology is not a form of massage, it has been found to be deeply relaxing and may provide relief from a wide range of ailments, including stress, pain, digestive issues, and insomnia. Whether used as a standalone treatment or as part of a holistic wellness regimen, reflexology offers a gentle way to nurture both the body and mind.

Reflexology is non-invasive and safe for people of all ages. During a session, only the feet and ankles are addressed, corn starch is used rather than lotion, and sometimes essential oils are used to aid in balancing the body. Clients remain clothed and comfortable.

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" translates to "universal life energy" in Japanese, reflecting its underlying principle that energy flows through all living beings. This energetic technique is based on the belief that a practitioner can channel this universal life energy to promote balance, harmony, and healing within the recipient.

Reiki is not affiliated with any specific religion or belief system, and it can be practiced by anyone who has received proper training and attunement from a qualified Reiki Master. During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the recipient's body, working to facilitate the flow of energy and remove any blockages that may be causing physical, emotional, or spiritual distress. Reiki is non-invasive and gentle, making it suitable for people of all ages and health conditions.

The experience of receiving Reiki is deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, often described as a feeling of warmth, comfort, and peace. While Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, it is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional healthcare practices to support the body's natural healing process.

During a Reiki session, you will remain fully clothed. Sessions tend to range from 45 to 60 minutes.
