Massage can help with Addiction & Anxiety

In Business, Massage, Specials on July 27, 2013 at 5:41 PM

I’ve read two articles recently about the benefits that massage can have for people suffering with anxiety and / or addiction. One of the biggest things I’ve witnessed on my table repeatedly is just how quickly safe, therapeutic touch can help a person to be more fully grounded in their body. We spend so much time in our heads every day – worrying about the hundreds of things we need to accomplish, wondering if we are doing OK as a parent; friend; business owner…hoping that soon life will get easier. All of that thinking and worrying increases our stress levels and specifically raises the levels of cortisol in our bodies.  That can put us into a cycle of feeling run down, often leaving us with decreased immune system functioning, tiredness and lack of patience, etc  A one hour Swedish massage can aid in breaking that stress cycle.

I’ve had clients come in for massage practically bouncing off the walls from the busyness of their lives – their levels of anxiety are high. Many of them, somewhere in our session time, will heave a huge sigh of relief and settle in – shifting from existing just mentally to really sinking down “into themselves/their bodies”. It’s not uncommon for people to shed tears as a way to release tension. They really get in touch with the effects life is having on them and are able to experience a sense of peace and well-being, often for the first time in many months. Massage has been proven to increase dopamine and serotonin and decrease cortisol  – all of which can help alleviate depression and anxiety and help support you in making healthier self-care choices.

We’d love for you to experience the benefits of massage first hand. Please check out our massage specials for July and August here.

In Massage, Specials on April 20, 2013 at 12:24 PM

This could be you...

Imagine … book now and that could be you!!

Our soft opening is May 1, 2013. In celebration all 60 minute and 90 minute “House Massages” will be on special!! For May 2013 only receive $15 off of the regular price. Book now … and tell a friend!

I graduated from Port Townsend School of Massage in Port Townsend, WA in 2003. Over the past 10 years I’ve had the opportunity to further my education, interact with other skilled boydworkers and provide therapeutic massage on both the West and East Coast – which allows me to bring a well rounded set of skills to the table. My work offers the possibility for transformation both physically and spiritually. Client communication to let me know your needs at the time of the session is encouraged and supported.

I am pleased to offer a quality massage at a reasonable price. My “House Massage” is tailored for your specific needs and includes a mix of any/all of the following modalities: Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Myofascial Release, Facial Rejuvenation, Shiatsu, Energy work and A.I.S. One of my favorite parts of the body to work on is the neck, head and face and I leave a little extra time at the end of each session to concentrate on these areas. All house massages also receive hot towels for their feet at the beginning of each session and cool water to drink at session end. All session times are true times. In my hour massage you will actually receive 60 minutes of massage – so please plan your day accordingly. All therapeutic massage sessions are by appointment Tuesday through Saturday.

“House Massage” – a therapeutic session designed to meet specific client needs:

90 minutes $115*
60 minutes $80*
45 minutes $65
30 minutes $45

* For May 2013 only, both the regularly priced 90 and 60 minute “house massage” will be on special for $15 off.

Prices are valid for May 2013 and are subject to change at any time.
