I bring a professional-grade table to your location.

My massage integrates various modalities (techniques) which can be tailored to meet any particular needs or desires for the session. The massage can be focused primarily on relaxation and quieting your mind and body... or the session can include more attention to muscles which are particularly tense and need loosening and stretching. Sometimes you might prefer a massage that is designed to loosen blocks, relieve stress and energize your body. Some of the modalities I incorporate in my sessions are:

I use a high-quality massage lotion which contains avocado, carrot, wheat germ oils and other extracts that contribute to a healthier skin. After the massage your skin is left feeling soft without the greasy feeling that results from the use of oil. I also add other therapeutic-grade essential oils to my lotion and use essential oils (aromatherapy) on the fabric covering the face cradle; please note that you may request that I use unscented lotion. Some of the essential oils I use include:

lavender Lavender oil is known to relax and calm. It is renowned for helping to soothe the skin with its soothing herbal and floral scent. It is also known to help soothe the mind and promote restful sleep. This oil helps to moisturize the skin.	patchouli Patchouli is an essential oil with many skills: earthy, balsamic, grounding and balancing - it is helpful for stress and mood swings. It is used in sensuous, exotic blends or for aroma massage and body oils.	clary sage Clary Sage oil is an essential aromatherapy tool for use in skin care, deep tissue massage, and mood balancing. Clary Sage conditions the scalp and encourages healthy hair regeneration. Earthy and pungent in nature, Clary Sage stimulates the circulatory and nervous system and is a powerful muscle relaxant. Clary Sage oil is beautiful as a single note or combined with other essential oils.
sandalwood Sandalwood smells warm, sweet-woody, exotic and balsamic and has many balancing qualities: it is sensuously inspiring, harmonizing, warming and very regenerating.	tangerine This tangy and zesty essential oil has some great properties to help relieve stress and other problems, but is mostly used to increase circulation to the skin, reducing fluid retention and helps prevent stretch marks.	eucalyptus This oil has been an integral part of therapy for centuries. its woody and medicinal aroma stimulates and invigorates the skin to full vitality.

In the massage oil it helps soften the skin and reduce puffiness.	bergamot This essential oil uplifts the senses and helps balance the emotions. It conditions, softens and smoothes the skin.
grapefruit Grapefruit oil has traditionally been used to treat anxiety, depression and lack of concentration. In the massage oil, its tangy-fresh, bitter-sweet scent moisturizes the skin and helps with stress, muscle fatigue and stiffness.	lemongrass This ancient oil calls to mind a tropical experience. It is good for toning tissue since it is well-known to help with sagging skin and stretch marks. It also helps relieve muscular pain and increase circulation.	orange Enzymes contained in the fragrant orange peel help to remove dead epithelial cells and to deep cleanse the skin.
	rosewood This floral, woody and fresh essential oil is often used to relieve tension and stress.

My massage includes your feet, during which I use a special cream formulated especially for feet. The foot creams I use include ingredients such as aloe, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, camphor, jojoba oil and dead sea salt.

Consider adding a facial to your massage session or even coming in just for a facial (which includes a neck and shoulder massage). Here is what to expect when receiving a facial:

There are variations to the basic facial that can be used upon consultation. For example, in place of the masque or in addition to it, you might request a yogurt/sour cream application which makes your skin tauter, smoother and invigorated.

This body salt scrub is an invigorating and cleansing treatment that leaves the whole body soft, smooth and radiant. This treatment is a full-body scrub using a blend of natural sea salts with special herbs and oils.

Some couples enjoy the convenience of booking back-to-back massages, which can be done at my studio, or in your location. In some cases, couples choose to have their own privacy while their partner is being massaged and then relax together afterwards; other couples enjoy each other's company during the massage and savor the aromatherapy of the essential oils.
