✨ Where Care Meets Intention
We’re so glad you’re here. As licensed medical massage therapists, we’re trained in a variety of healing techniques—but our most important skill is listening.
Every session begins with a thoughtful consultation. We’ll take time to understand your unique needs, concerns, and the outcomes you're hoping for. Whether you're here for relief, recovery, or simply a moment to breathe—we’re here to support you.
We’ll review your health history, talk about any areas of tension or discomfort, and tailor your treatment with care and precision. At each visit, we’ll check in to make sure your massage evolves with you.
Because your well-being isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither is your massage.
Welcome. You’re in good hands.
Massage FAQ
What Type of Massage Should I Choose?

Massage Therapist vs. Medical Massage Therapist: What’s the Difference?
Both massage therapists and medical massage therapists use hands-on techniques to promote wellness, but their focus and training can differ significantly.
Massage Therapist
A general massage therapist provides relaxation and stress relief, along with relief from muscle tension and minor aches.
They are skilled in various techniques such as:
-
Swedish massage
-
Deep tissue massage
-
Prenatal massage
-
Sports massage
These sessions are typically non-clinical and focus on overall well-being and relaxation.
Medical Massage Therapist
A medical massage therapist has advanced training in anatomy, pathology, and treatment protocols.
They work with clients who have:
-
Injuries
-
Chronic pain
-
Post-surgical recovery
-
Soft tissue dysfunction
-
Referrals from healthcare providers
Their goal is to support healing, restore function, and reduce pain using clinically-based techniques. Medical massage may be part of a treatment plan and is often focused on specific areas rather than the full body.
In Summary
