Therapeutic Massage with Hot Stones

• 60 minutes $125
• 90 minutes $155

Melt away built up tension! Increase the effectiveness of massage without necessarily needing increased pressure for the same results. Natalie's style is to keep the stones moving across the skin or as a tool for acupressure.
***A Hot Stone Massage can be a wonderful gift, but may not be for everyone on your list. This kind of therapy is wonderful for detoxifying the body, as the heat deeply penetrates muscles and forces metabolic and cellular waste into the lymphatic system. Most people's bodies can tolerate this extra amount of circulation by drinking extra fluids, yet some can not. People with these conditions may need to seek approval from their Doctor prior to scheduling a full Hot Stone Massage session:

• Advanced Diabetes
• Uncontrolled Hypertension
• Neuropathy
• Recent Injury - when your body is inflamed, avoid any kind of massage for at least 24-72 hours
• Gout
• Edema
• Renal Diseases OR Rheumatoid Arthritis - select a regular massage, because the extra heat can put too much of a load on the kidneys
• Deep Vein Thrombosis
• Pregnancy (although warm stones are a possibility, most mamas run hot already and don't even want to think about heat!)
• Massage for Childbearing Women

Prenatal Massage

AKA Pregnancy Massage: a way to ease the mother-to-be’s aches, pains, and edema during the child-bearing months. This is performed in a side-lying position with lots of pillows that create a fluffy cloud of comfort. When she is over 34 weeks or so, 90 minutes is ideal for extra stretches and techniques due to the added pressure she's experiencing.  FYI, it is a myth that massage during the first trimester of pregnancy will induce a miscarriage - read more.

Postnatal Massage

Best performed immediately following childbirth and through the week thereafter, provided that the birth went smoothly. If any surgery including C-Section took place, follow the orders of your doctor and perhaps receive this after 6 weeks. This massage is so wonderful and extremely appreciated by Mom, who is transitioning into caring for a beautiful new child (or children for that matter). The responsibility of breastfeeding can particularly aggravate mom's neck, shoulder and back muscles. Also, optionally we will focus on the abdomen to assist the internal organs' proper placement.
