Escape the ordinary...
                 Pursue the extraordinary!
Classic Massage is very relaxing and
therapeutic and combines aromatherapy, oils
and an array of strokes such as rolling,
kneading, and percussion.  For those needing a
deeper level of tension relief, deep tissue
massage is highly effective in releasing chronic
stress areas caused by misalignment, repetitive
motions, and past lingering injuries.  To
personalize your massage, a combination of
these to modalities will be based on your needs.

Massage Therapy and
Your Pregnancy
Tanya Sissoyev, LMT
Massage for the Childbearing Year is designed specifically for
pregnant and postpartum women.  Pregnancy is a time in which
the body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical,
mental and emotional changes.  Using various techniques
specifically for the new mother, massage helps alleviate
discomforts experienced throughout all trimesters of pregnancy
and aids in recovery after birth.

Labor Massage Support provides physical comfort with hands-
on message techniques, hot and cold packs, and aromatherapy
to relieve pain and relax the body.  Choosing to have a full-body
relaxation message in early labor is a great way to start out labor
and release oxytocin and endorphins.  During the active and late
phases of labor when the sensations are most intense, Tanya will
work as part of your birth team to help you cope with labor.
Peace... it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to
be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
