Massage
This facial and buccal massage includes intra-oral (buccal) massage techniques and is designed for individuals experiencing temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), teeth grinding/clenching, facial tension, or tension-related headaches. Techniques are applied to the muscles and connective tissues of the face, jaw, neck, and scalp, with addition focus on key muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), masseter, and temporalis. Buccal (intra-oral) massage is incorporated to access deeper muscles of the cheeks and jaw, providing additional relief from chronic tension and TMJ-related discomfort. Therapeutic facial massage techniques are combined with hot towels, high-quality facial oil, and instrument-assisted massage tools. Treatment includes a health history review, assessment, and individualized treatment plan.
Lymphatic Drainage
A full-body treatment designed to help eliminate water retention and support multiple body systems. It targets the deep lymphatic system with manual pumping and brisk, moderate pressure strokes, and includes a digestive treatment. This method can help with bloat, indigestion, muscle soreness, poor circulation, and nervous system regulation. Please note that doctor clearance will be required for clients whose lymphatic systems are not intact due to recent surgery or other medical conditions.
