"I am a professional plumber. My job can be demanding
and very physical. I often suffer from back stiffness
and muscle fatigue.
I began seeing Claudia
17 years ago for massage therapy on a regular basis. Massage has helped me
to get rid of stress and
muscle tightness, making
my job and the everyday pressures I have much easier
to deal with. I am 50 years old, but feel much younger.
I attribute this to taking
care of myself and receiving regular massages from
Claudia at Face Body Spirit.
If you have never had a massage, treat yourself.
You will be amazed at
how well you will feel."

Massage

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage is a specific system of organized movements based on hands-on, cross-cultural healing techniques to help stimulate the organs and glands. Increased circulation helps detoxify and strengthen the body to prevent illness, reduce stress and promote wellness. Several of the following techniques may be incorporated during your massage session:

Swedish Therapeutic Massage

Combining rhythmic strokes to increase muscle tone and flexibility, this relaxing technique aids the elimination of toxins and the assimilation of nutrients throughout the body. It is a preliminary technique for deeper tissue massage. Swedish Therapeutic Massage encourages better sleep patterns and prevents fatigue—its effects are cumulative when enjoyed on a regular basis.
30 Min.-$40    60 Min.-$70    90 Min.-$95

Neuromuscular/Deep Tissue Massage

Working with the central nervous system, this structured process of ligament, tendon and deep muscle manipulation helps re-pattern muscles that have assumed improper positioning. It is particularly effective in aiding the removal of toxins that accumulate in the muscles, limit movement, and cause pain. Deep tissue work also provides wonderful relief from tension headaches.
60 Min.-$70    90 Min.-$95

Lymphatic Massage

This technique helps to maintain and strengthen the body’s immune system by aiding the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Prevent winter colds and soothe allergies with this treatment.
60 Min.-$70

Nurturing Touch for Individuals with Cancer

The use of touch is one of the best ways to provide support to a loved one with cancer. Whether the visit is just for one session or an ongoing series, massage can provide a positive therapeutic intervention. The massage session is modified to work around any effects of radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, or medications. It can be of benefit during diagnosis, treatment, recovery and post-recovery. It relaxes and energizes, reduces pain and anxiety, eases depression, and helps improve body image. It can also help to alleviate poor sleep patterns, muscle tension, and nausea.
60 Min.-$70    90 Min.-$95    

Tian Di Bamboo Massage

"Tian di" ("Heaven & Earth") Massage is designed to promote both relaxation and a sense of harmony and well-being. Bamboo, which symbolizes strength, reslience, peace, and serenity, is used in varying length and thickness to enhance circulation, remove stagnant toxins and relieve sore, tight muscle groups. The steady, even pressure allows for deeper work that helps relax and realign muscle fibers, releases tension, and creates a deep state of relaxation. Some basic principles from traditional Chinese medicine are incorporated, including Cupping, Gua Sha and 5 Element Aromatherapy. Anyone who suffers from stress, chronic pain, poor circulation, stiff muscles, lymphatic congestion, fatigue, and more will benefit from this treatment.
60 Min.-$75    

LaStone Therapy

The original hot stone massage takes you on a journey, using sculpting and detoxifying approaches to release and comfort tight, sore muscles. Smooth, warm basalt and cool marble stones may be alternated to encourage circulation. LaStone Therapy goes beyond the physical experience of typical massage and enters deeper dimensions of relaxation, health, and well-being.
90 Min.-$120

Swedish/La Stone Combination

If you enjoy Swedish massage and are curious about hot stone massage, this is the best of both worlds!
60 Min.-$90

Nurturing the Mother

It is a special time to nurture and honor mother and baby, so this massage addresses the common issues expectant mothers may face, such as lower back and hip pain and water retention (edema). This is a wonderful route to stress reduction, pain relief, and relaxation.
60 Min.-$70

Facial Rejuvenation Massage

This quiet technique induces a deep level of relaxation.
Using warm compresses and the purest essential oils, a series of repetitive strokes are used to help release
holding patterns. It visibly relaxes stress held in the face.
60 Min.-$70

Just the Back

This back-neck-shoulders only treatment relaxes and
rejuvenates, including: warm compresses, gentle cleansing, natural sea salt exfoliation, and deep tissue massage.
60 Min.-$70

Chair Massage

Utilizing a special chair, this fully-clothed upper-body massage relaxes and energizes without the use of oils. It is excellent for a quick lunch break, and can be given in our office or we will travel to your workplace (requires advance notice and participation of 6 or more employees).
15 Min.-$15

Reiki

Reiki (“Ray-Key”), is a gentle, ancient Japanese hands-on energy healing therapy. Reiki promotes relaxation and reduces stress. It helps balance and restore the body, mind and spirit to its perfect state of wellness.
60 Min.-$70

Foot Reflexology

Reflex points of the feet are stimulated to provide benefits to all systems of the body. Results include improved blood supply, increased vitality, and deep relaxation. Warm herbal compresses are used to soothe the feet and assist in the release of toxins.
45 Min.-$45

Detoxifying Foot Soaks

Enhance your visit to Face Body Spirit with a relaxing, nourishing, and detoxifying Foot Soak! A 20-minute Foot Soak can be just the boost you need to get your systems flowing. Add it to your massage, reflexology or facial session. Or just come in for some quiet time and enjoy a cup of herbal tea with your Foot Soak. Start with a blissful mix of organic essential oils and medicinal herbs and end with a gentle towel dry and your choice of herbal foot balm made by Absolute Herbs.
30 Min.-$25
Added to another service: $20
