Swedish / Relaxation Massage

This is the session for the days when nothing is acutely wrong and everything is a little much. Swedish massage uses long gliding strokes, kneading, and gentle rhythm to warm the muscles, move blood and lymph, and settle the nervous system. It boosts oxygen delivery, helps clear metabolic waste from tired muscles, and leaves you noticeably more flexible than when you walked in.

Good for

• Stress that's been building for weeks
• Trouble sleeping or winding down
• General stiffness without a specific injury
• A first massage, if you've never had one
• Recovery days between harder sessions

What to expect

Lighter to medium pressure throughout, warm room, unhurried pace. If you'd like, I can weave in Reiki or Esalen elements: slower, more energetic work that deepens the sense of quiet. Just say so when you book or when you arrive.

Often paired with

Green jade hot stones for warmth, and therapeutic-grade essential oils chosen for what you need that day.
