THE BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

BEYOND JUST THE 'FEEL GOOD'

A lot happens in your body and in your brain when you get a massage. For one thing, massage has been proven to release a rush of dopamine and serotonin in the brain while decreasing the stress hormone cortisol, leading to overall relaxation. Another reason why massage feels so good is that the neurons in your brain respond in different ways to the stimuli of touch.

There is something to the transformative nature of touch and its impact on a person’s health and well-being. Touch helps communicate what words simply can’t sometimes. It allows you to get in touch with thoughts and emotions you may not even realize you’ve been carrying around. It’s not uncommon for someone to start crying while on the massage table – which means the body needs an emotional release – massage is doing something good for the soul, as well… something you may have never realized your body needed in the first place.

She provides valuable service with exceptional, one on one care. Alex pours her heart and soul into every minute she spends working with her clients. I highly recommend coaching with Alex, she will leave you feeling fabulous!

I was beyond impressed with the overall environment and Alex's techniques!

I was beyond impressed with the overall environment and Alex's techniques! This was absolutely one of the best massages I have ever experienced. I chose the Shavasana Massage 60 minute option. I used to regularly go for massage therapy/chiro for shoulder issues (and tried a few), but I was never fully satisfied, I would leave just feeling content. Getting to work with Alex has officially made me a TRUE believer and I am sticking with her. Her hands NEVER leave you and the pressure is constant and consistent with what you need. She also knows how to strategically work out a knot without unnecessary pain. I swear she must have 4 hands! I was also impressed by the harmony and flow of her movements, it truly was an incredible experience & her prices reflect her level of expertise/talent. You wont regret booking!
