Your head massage therapist, Jackie, was trained in Florida in the mid-1990's with a 400 hour base level Swedish and spa training then continued with a professional 900 hour advanced therapeutic level training. She then finished that with a degree in massage business and holistic medicine. Still feeling motivated, she took a deep dive into Anatomy and Physiology, nutrition, consultation and herbalism while simultaneously running a massage clinic and working with doctors and health care practitioners around Central Florida.
She brings with her to Southern California, a passion for her work including hundreds of more hours of education and hands on training from live seminars and up-to-date online courses. Thousands of hours of personal experience working with physical therapists, acupuncture doctors, specialists and chiropractors has helped to shape her techniques and gain critical insight into the world of wellness and personal healthcare. With this, she is able to bring her clients an in-depth experience with a wide variety of therapeutic techniques for relief and relaxation.
A relaxation massage uses gentle sweeping and kneading strokes to increase circulation, improve flexibility and offer stress relief. One hour offers enough time for a calming full body treatment to help you unwind from built up stress and tension. You have a choice of aromatherapy essential oil blends to enhance your session.
Our Custom Massage is a treatment that is tailored to your specific needs using a blend of advanced techniques. These sessions can be spot specific or full body therapeutic depending on what the client requests. Techniques using deep pressure and friction are common as well as light, extra gentle pressure. Some of the techniques we are certified in are prenatal, neuromuscular, myofascial release, lymphatic clearing, trigger point therapy, sports, reflexology, acupressure, cranial sacral, facial/buccal, barefoot, gua sha, cupping, herbal compress, wraps and scrubs, hot rock, bamboo, dry brushing and stretching.
We do not offer thai massage, but can offer a recommendation to someone who can.
