We live in a stressful world. Our bodies know how to heal themselves, but are unable to in a constant state of stress. Many studies report that massage has a direct effect on lowering stress hormones and reducing the body’s physiological reaction to stress.

Wellness, or relaxation massage is used to promote deep relaxation and to allow the body to heal itself and return to a state of homeostasis. Typically a form of Swedish massage, it consists of long connecting strokes using a lubricant to work with the most superficial muscle groups to increase blood and lymph circulation and to remove waste products and toxins. The result is a feeling of being refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated!

Benefits include:
• Improved mood
• Relief from muscle tension and stiffness
• More restful sleep
• Reduced muscle spasms
• Relief from headaches
• Improved blood and lymph circulation
• Lower blood pressure
• Decreased levels of anxiety and depression
• Relief from mental stress
• Increased body awareness
• Pain relief — massage stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killer!

If you’ve never had a massage before, this is the one to try!

“Lynne is an amazing massage therapist who works with you to provide the right type of massage for your needs. My primary reason for massage is to relax from work stress, so I usually request a 90-minute session and sometimes even fall asleep just before the end. I always feel relaxed and rejuvenated after my massage with Lynne!” – Heidi
