Connective tissue massage, also called myofascial release also medical massage, seeks to rebalance the body by releasing tension in the fascia, the superficial and mid-level connective tissue of the muscles. Pressure is applied with the intention of opening, lengthening and moisturizing these layers of fascia, giving the body more freedom and range of motion. Long, stretching strokes are used to release muscular tension.
Deep tissue massage incorporates Swedish massage techniques on specific problem areas to release chronic or acute tension and soreness. “Deep tissue is really Swedish massage performed with more pressure. Deep tissue movements are often cross-fiber (across the grain of the muscle) using fingers, thumbs, or elbows with more pressure to reach deeper layers of the specific muscles involved. This deep work on the muscles and connective tissues loosens toxins and increases the blood and oxygen circulation enhancing the body’s abilities to heal.
Targeted massage is similar to deep tissue massage but uses many other additional techniques to relieve tension, eliminate toxins, rebalance the energy and bring nutrition and oxygen to a specific area.

Using stones in a massage therapy is a holistic approach to triggering healing response and relaxation. “The heat of the stones transmits intense heat and energy, much more that can be transmitted by the hands alone. This stimulates the transmission of endorphins, the hormonal painkiller and anti-depressants, which our bodies produce naturally and safely, into the body.
Raindrop massage is a special application of 9 essential oils designed to balance and align the body.

We can all have an impact on what our skin looks like. Beautiful skin is a life-long commitment. As the body’s protective covering, the skin is vulnerable and subject to wear and tear. This is why the skin requires regular and daily care throughout a lifetime if it is to remain healthy and retain its youthful appearance. The environmental factors that rob the skin of its beauty are sunlight, which depletes water and causes permanent loss of moisture. It also damages collagen fibers, which gives our skin support and elasticity. Sun also disturbs cellular activity, which interferes with the production of collagen. Pollution is deteriorating the ozone allowing more ultra-violet ray exposure when polluted air comes in contact with the skin, leaving the skin dehydrated, sensitive and less resilient. We must also contend with biological changes in our body. As time ticks away the years, the skin begins to loose ability to retain water therefore leaving skin vulnerable to dehydration. Cell regeneration slows down and causes a build-up of dead cells and a decrease in collagen production. Although we have no control over biological factors, how we choose to conduct our lives can make a difference in the final analysis of our skin’s condition. Smoking, drinking, sunbathing, drugs, diet and lack of care are the last true enemies of our skin Nicotine causes small blood vessels and capillaries to constrict, which decreases the blood circulation to the skin and deprives it of essential nutrients and oxygen. Alcohol damages the liver and interferes with nutrition. Alcohol over dilates the blood vessels and weakens the capillary walls, which can cause them to burst. It also draws water out of the tissue and causes dehydration. Drugs can affect and intake of oxygen that the tissues need for cell growth. Washing the face cannot be as simple as soap and water. Soaps have high alkaline substances that leave the skin dehydrated. Preservatives leave skin sensitive and irritated. Plastic surgeons in conjunction with skin care specialists allow individuals a second chance to recapture beautiful skin. Skin needs are not limited to facial reconstruction, however. To insure a complete facial or skin rejuvenation process you must improve the health of the skin. Skin treatments help to overcome deficiencies and improve circulation. In addition, cell regeneration is activated, moisture loss restored, and the skin’s resiliency is enhanced. Facial therapy is administered so blood and fluids trapped within tissue can drain and recalculate. Essential vitamins and minerals and amino acids are replenished. Preventing the destruction of skin is our best defense against the aging process. Come in and let us tell you what is right with your skin.by Mary Morris Permanent makeup has become an excellent option for our clients with certain skin imperfections, loss of skin pigmentation, thinning eyebrows, thinning lips, and for those who have allergies to conventional makeup. Permanent makeup allows you to escape the daily application required with traditional makeup techniques. Unlike traditional makeup, permanent makeup will not smear, smudge, or run during your daily activities. Permanent makeup may be applied to any part of the body and to all age groups. Uses include enhancing the eyebrows, altering or enhancing the color of the lips, and adding or augmenting beauty marks. Permanent makeup is also used as permanent eyeliner and lipliner. These techniques allow us to enhance your natural beauty and give you a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Eyebrows Permanent makeup applied in the region of the brow mimics the natural hair of the brow. This can provide an appearance of fullness for anyone who has lost some of the eyebrow hair. Unlike an eyebrow pencil, you are able to go about your normal daily activities without worrying if you will accidentally smear or smudge your brow. Eyeliner The application of pigment to lash line can give the appearance of a definite line or a more subtle shadow in the lashes. This procedure can be liberating for those with an allergy to traditional eyeliner or for those with contact lenses that become irritated with over the counter makeup products. Eyelash Enhancement Permanent makeup is precisely placed in between each lash at the base of the lash line. This defines the shape of the eye and creates the illusion of thick full lashes. Lipliner/Lip Color Enhancement Not only can the color of the lips be improved, but the lip shape can also be improved, giving you the appearance of more full, sensual lips. This technique can also camouflage those fine lines that begin to appear around the mouth with age and eliminate the appearance of lipstick bleeding onto bordering skin. Beauty Marks An absolutely natural beauty mark may be placed wherever you desire. Size, shape, and color are all chosen by you to create the look you desire. Is the procedure painful? There is very little discomfort because area is numbed with a topical anesthetic. How can I be assured I will like the end results? You have approval of EVERYTHING! As colors are mixed and brows designed, you are consulted for approval. You are given a hand mirror and during each step of the way you and I will work together as a team to create the natural youthful look you desire. How long is recovery period? There is a mild swelling and redness accompanying the procedure, but most patients are able to return to work or other social activities the same day. How long will it be until I see my final results? It takes a period of three to six weeks for the pigment to become permanently incorporated in the desired location. At this point your final results have been achieved. Will my permanent makeup fade? During the initial healing period of three to six weeks, there will be a slight fading of pigment as some of it is removed by your body. To counteract this natural response, a slightly greater amount of pigment than you actually need to achieve your desired results will be placed at the time of your procedure. Over a period of a few years brows and lips may fade and you may need a touch up.
Prices listed include a
second session, which is normally necessary for finishing and
perfecting. A third session may be needed for brows where there is
no apparent hair or if you choose a very light color. Full lip color
may require a third session if a strong vibrant color desired, and
an additional charge will apply. WE FOLLOW ALL GUIDELINES FOR STERILIZATION AND CLINICAL SANITATION Needles are always pre-sterilized as well as the tubes that hold the needles. Needles are never reused, not even your own needles. When (used) are promptly disposed into a hazardous waste container for this purpose. Everything that is used on the client is sterile or sanitary and/or new.
