Cranial Sacral Therapy By Becky
Is
a clothed non-invasive, Hands-On, light touch technique that can help the body heal itself from past traumas (accident, injury, stress, emotional) held in the body. You may feel emotional, or physical discomfort during/after treatment. You may feel relaxed or energized. It can help your everyday active energy transition to a more quiet energy and allow you to let go and relax. Everyone’s body will respond differently.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is traditionally used for chronically tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from injury.

Connective Tissue Massage By Michelle

a series of slow, stretching strokes to soften restricted connective tissue or fascia in a way that does not use the force of a traditional deep tissue massage. This technique can relieve chronic tension while allowing the client to reach a deep level of relaxation.
