What I offer:
Report
Swedish Massage - The most popular massage with the use of the 5 basic massage techniques. Helps to relax you by relieving stress, muscle soreness and placing your body into a para-sympathetic state. Deep Tissue Massage - Direct pressure is applied with the use of the thumb, palm, forearm and elbow for deep therapeutic work into the muscles and connective tissue. Great modality for the release of toxins from the body. This treatment is not intended for sensitive individuals.
Hot Stone Massage - The use of naturally shaped basalt stones, heated and then placed in specific areas on the body relaxing muscles and increasing the blood flow. Warm stones are then massaged into the connective tissue and muscles, soothing them and enhancing the healing process.
And much more!

5 Stars ~ The first massage that I have ever gotten.The way you can feel your muscles just relax and feel normal is absolutely amazing. I had Rose and according to her I was really tense and stiff. Thanks to her, I feel like a kid again and can move better than ever. Thank you so much and I will be back.

5 Stars ~ I'm an aging former high level athlete. I have had extensive experience with many very good massage therapists. More recently, arthritis caused by years of high impact sports was winning the battle. My back, knees, shoulders, and achiles tendon limited my motion and were painful. Then came Rose. Here is what I can tell you, "she uses a combination of approaches, deep tissue, stretching, sports massage, heat, and other techniques, whose names I don't know, have restored my range of motion, flexibility, and comfort.
My workouts are much better, I'm less sore (almost none). Honestly, Rose is helping me to turn back the clock. I'm returning to a more youthful state - No Kidding! I could never have expected this. She is simply the Best!!!! Please give her a try you can't lose.
