 At A Piece of Peace Massage Therapy we touch people with awareness of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. To relieve pain, release stress, and encourage happiness is our passion and purpose.
Tailored to individual needs and goals, custom bodywork sessions include a combination of the following techniques:
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy restores mental and physical balance with a custom blend of essential oils massaged into the skin and released into the air. Aromatherapy can be integrated with all massage services.
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue Massage releases chronic tension through slow, deliberate strokes of deep pressure on contracted muscles, tendons, and fascia. It provides relief for chronic tension and acute muscle spasms. Deep Tissue Massage serves those who enjoy deep pressure and enjoy participating in the massage experience with intentional breathing and active isometric exercises.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Massage relieves pain and discomfort associated with pregnancy. It is useful for women in all stages of pregnancy, including post-partum. It enhances range of movement and circulation, reducing problems associated with swelling, including varicose veins and cramps.
Pregnancy Massage provides emotional nurturance as well as physical relief. A written medical release may be required for women with high risk pregnancies.
Reflexology
Reflexology involves direct pressure on the feet, hands, and ears to balance the entire body, including organs, glands and muscles. The balancing effect is especially useful for exhausted, hyperactive, and nervous people. Reflexology serves those who prefer to remain fully clothed and want to address specific system imbalances with indirect touch. Clients with fragile bones, inaccessible injuries or chronic pain will enjoy the safety and healing intensity of reflexology.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word which means "Universal Life Energy." A powerful method of energetic healing, Reiki employs very light touch to help the client completely relax and release physical and emotional blockages. Reiki is especially effective for those who feel especially sensitive to touch and seek deep relaxation and personal awareness. Reiki clients can remain fully clothed during healing sessions.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is an Oriental-based system of pressure-point massage which releases blocks along "meridians," invisible channels of energy that flow throughout the body. Shiatsu serves those who prefer to remain fully dressed and want to avoid lotions and oils.
Sports
Sports Massage involves stretching and rapid strokes which warm muscles and relieve soreness. Sports massage should be scheduled the day before athletic events to prepare muscles for exertion ("preconditioning") and within 24 hours following intense activity to release metabolic waste from muscle tissue. Sports Massage is suitable for athletes of all levels.
Swedish
Swedish Massage consists of long strokes, kneading, and friction techniques combined with movements of the joints. It promotes general relaxation, nourishes skin, improves circulation and range of motion, and relieves muscle tension. Swedish Massage is soothing, gentle, thorough, and nurturing. Lotion or oil is applied to ease the sliding strokes.
