Shiatsu
A Japanese form of bodywork, Shiatsu utilizes hand pressure through palming and thumbing techniques, as well as passive stretching along energetic pathways called meridians. It promotes self-healing and the flow of Chi (energy) by stimulating the Yin and Yang meridians and traditional acupuncture points that are linked to vital organs in the body. Shiatsu is excellent for pain relief and a strengthening of the body’s resistance to disease and disorder. Most Shiatsu sessions take place on the floor with the client fully clothed. A futon cushion and pillows are used for comfort. Note: It is important to wear loose, comfortable clothing in order to allow ease of movement during stretching.

Prenatal Massage
This form of massage eases the expectant mother of anxiety and stress during a time of transition. Side-lying techniques with pillow props are utilized to allow for ease and comfort during the session time. Special techniques are used for all three trimesters to ensure the well-being of both mother and baby. The goal of prenatal massage is to provide relaxation, lessen physical and mental stress and help relieve the mother of the physical discomfort commonly associated with pregnancy. Note: It is recommended to delay receiving massage in any trimester if you are experiencing pregnancy related nausea, as it may exacerbate your symptoms.
