Welcome to Exquisite Care Massage!

Therapist trained in a variety of modalities including: 

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It helps improve its circulation, aids in relief from aches and pains, decreases stress levels, enhances mental clarity and helps with greater flexibility.

Energy work is based on the belief that all things contain energy, including you; and that the body needs to sustain its energy balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your energy has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body can follow. I enjoy integrating energy work into individualized massages at no extra cost.

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit. While I don’t usually do full Shiatsu massages, it can be easily integrated into a massage.

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet & hands. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression. I usually incorporate this bodywork into your  massage when I reach the feet & hands.

Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing "trigger points" in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These "knots" are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques in order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, so good communication between us would be necessary.  The effects can be lasting and profoundly transformative.

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, it can be intense, therefore open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment due to the intense nature of the work and/or you becoming more aware of your body’s imbalances.

Elder care / Comfort care massage is massage with a slower pace, lighter touch and can be given seated in a chair or in bed and over clothing if needed. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
