OUR SERVICES
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a therapy in which pressure is applied to reflex points on the hands, feet, and ears.
It is based on the principle that these reflex points are related to the internal organs and glands, and are laid out in the same arrangement as that in the physical body in the form of a “map” or microcosm.
Pressure or palpation on a reflex point can therefore affect these structures.
This treatment helps stimulate the normal function of the organ involved (for instance, secretion of a hormone or digestive enzyme), and thus aids self-healing, bringing about physical and mental well-being.
ACUPRESSURE
Having been used for thousands of years in China, Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine bodywork technique. Sometimes it is called pressure acupuncture, acupressure is often thought of as simply acupuncture without needles.
It involves placing physical pressure, by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices, on different pressure points on the surface of the body to bring relief through greater balance and circulation of fluids (blood, lymph) and metabolic energies in the body (heat, Qi). It intends to help balance the systems of the body in order to treat chronic and acute injuries or disease.
Acupressure can promote blood circulation, relieve spasm of muscle soreness, accelerate lymph circumfluence, help restore injured muscles, improve the elasticity of the skin, promote skin metabolism and regulate organs.
LYMPH DRAINAGE MASSAGE
Manual lymph drainage massage is a form of very light massage that encourages lymph flow in the body.
It is particularly good for detoxification, edema, pre- and post-plastic surgery and post-liposuction. It can also help with cellulite treatments, scar tissue, spider veins, redness and acne.
A therapist trained in lymph drainage massage stimulates the lymph system with extremely light, circular pumping movements.
By stimulating the lymphatic system, the therapist helps drain puffy, swollen tissues, supports the body’s immune system, helps the body heal from surgery, and aids in the body’s natural waste removal or detoxification.
GUA SHA
Gua sha is an ancient healing technique used by many clinicians of TCM. In this procedure, a lubricating medium, such as massage oil, is applied to the skin of the area to be treated.
Gua Sha can be used to prevent and treat diseases and strengthen the body. Especially in the area of pain relief it is unequalled. It can also be utilized by TCM clinicians to address conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, colds, flu, fever, heatstroke, fibromyalgia, strains, sprains, and muscle spasms.
The guiding principle behind Gua Sha is that this technique has the ability to break up stagnation, to promote the smooth flow of blood in the area and finally to relieve pain.
FIRE CUPPING
Fire cupping has been a commonly used natural therapy in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years.
Burning uses up all the oxygen inside the cup and creates a partial vacuum inside the cup which is then placed on the surface of the skin, usually the back, on specific acupuncture points. The suction stimulates blood flows to the area where the cup is placed.
Thru negative pressure and suction, body tissue starts to release toxin and excessive fluid, loosens adhesions and lifts connective tissue, clears blockages in the colon, activates the lymphatic system and clears veins and arteries.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture originated in China centuries ago is based on the belief that energy referred to as “Qi”, flows through a series of pathways along the body that are called “meridians”. Each meridian is associated with a different organ system.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is the balance of body’s organs that hold the key of healthy. Imbalance in the flow of Qi through a meridian is how disease and illness happen. The objective of acupuncture is to insert needles into specific points along meridian lines to restore balance of the flow of Qi in these organs.
Research has proven that acupuncture is successful in improving mood and energy, relieving pain, encouraging healing after injury, and in maintaining good overall health. It can also be effective in reducing or eliminating the need to take certain medications.

Wonderful place. Highly recommend. I had migraines for the last two months straight. Waking up every 30 to 40 minutes while I sleep. Chiropractor didn’t work. So I went to here then massage my neck for 45 minutes and then they massage my feet for 25 minutes. That night I kid you not I had… read more

Went for a full body massage. I have a chronic neck problem and was in a lot of pain this day – should probably be getting specialized services a lot more often but cost is always a barrier. Great prices and great experience! Very thorough massage and very professional staff. read more

Soooo good. Very reasonable prices too. I got an hour long massage for 45$. Don’t go here if you don’t enjoy a lot of pressure. For me it was perfect as I find most places don’t listen to me when I request 10/10 pressure. I feel truly relieved, a lot of my muscle knots were… read more
