I believe that a great massage contains several crucial elements: a beautiful and serene environment that engages and delights the senses, a therapist's excellent technical knowledge merged with an artisan's dedication to craft, and a commitment to respect and honor the trust that each client extends to his/her massage therapist. There is a place within each of us that is whole and splendorous. A great massage allows you to bask in this place."

Erin offers the following sessions: (Gift Certificates available for all sessions)

Integrative Aromatherapy Massage ($75/hr., $100/1.5hrs) Series of massages: $375/6hrs. (Six hours for the price of five)

 An integrative aromatherapy massage is a session using pure aromatherapy essential oils. Each massage is custom-designed for your needs, employing the following modalities:

Swedish Massage – Classic massage using long, flowing strokes to induce deep relaxation.

Deep-Tissue Massage – A more intense style of massage that addresses contraction patterns in the deeper layers of the musculature.

Cranio-Sacral Balancing – A gentle and extremely relaxing form of energy balancing that gives the body space and encouragement to self-correct.

Foot Reflexology – The application of pressure to specific points on the feet, combined with relaxing and calming strokes, which helps the body to relax, release toxins, and unblock "stuck" energy. Each session ends with a pure aromatherapy mist.
