Lymphatic Drainage
The following is incorporated in every massage, so long as the client meets the criteria for it being safe. History of stroke or heart attack make a client ineligible for this treatment.
Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, a crucial part of our immune and circulatory systems. This gentle and rhythmic massage aims to enhance the natural flow of lymph fluid throughout the body, promoting detoxification, reducing swelling, and boosting overall well-being.
During a Lymphatic Drainage session, you will feel light pressure and rhythmic strokes to encourage the movement of lymph fluid. This involves gentle, sweeping motions along the lymphatic pathways, which are like invisible highways throughout the body. By clearing any blockages or stagnation along these pathways, we can help the body eliminate metabolic waste more efficiently.
The benefits of Lymphatic Drainage are numerous. Firstly, it can aid in detoxification by improving the elimination of waste and toxins, helping your body maintain a healthy balance. Additionally, this technique can reduce swelling and edema, particularly in areas affected by surgery, injury, or conditions like lymphedema. By promoting a healthy lymphatic system, Lymphatic Drainage can also enhance the immune response, boosting your body’s ability to fight infections.
Who can benefit from Lymphatic Drainage? This technique is suitable for a wide range of individuals. If you are recovering from surgery or are post injury, Lymphatic Drainage can support your healing process and provide relief. It is also beneficial for those experiencing chronic inflammation, edema, or lymphatic congestion. Additionally, if you’re seeking a gentle and relaxing massage that promotes general wellness and detoxification, Lymphatic Drainage is an excellent choice.
Experience the rejuvenating effects of Lymphatic Drainage and unlock the potential of your lymphatic system. As always, your session will be customized to your unique needs, ensuring a soothing and effective treatment.
Warm Bamboo
This service is integrated into each massage. It is a similar idea to hot stones, though an improvement in my opinion because unlike hot stones, bamboo will not get hot enough to scald or cool enough to feel chilly against the skin.
The bamboo is shaped into several different tools which are made to suit different body parts. The tools are warmed up in a towel warmer in the studio which starts about an hour before you arrive for your appointment.
Not only does the warmth feel GREAT against your skin, it is also serving the function of warming up the muscles underneath so that they are easier to work during the massage, thus giving you deeper work painlessly and the maximum benefit in releasing knots!
Deep Tissue Massage
Generally, getting a deep tissue massage would cost the client more than a normal relaxation massage. One thing that I believe sets Massage by Maple apart from the bigger spas in town is that this service is not an additional charge, a bonus that most of my clients take advantage of.
While some may find deep tissue techniques to be mildly uncomfortable, those who prefer this service find real results in terms of overall muscle relaxation.
Deep work not your thing? No problem!
Each massage is tailored to the client and individuals may choose deep work on only some parts of the body or none at all. We will talk further at your initial consultation, but it is important to note that deep work is not necessarily painful!
Deep tissue work and deep pressure are not always the same thing, so don’t be nervous about giving this a shot!
Client comfort is ALWAYS my first priority!
Cupping
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), cupping is an often-used remedy for a plethora of ailments. This technique consists of cups being placed on the skin of the client and suctioned in place (another option is moving silicone cups which has more of a “massage” feel).
Cupping Therapy helps to eliminate pain by lifting the tissue, breaking up the fascia (sheath of fibrous connective tissue which encases muscles and organs), and promoting blood circulation into the tissue. When you’re experiencing pain, there is a lack of blood circulation. This treatment increases the blood circulation to the tissue. It also gives the client a feeling of more energy.
Cupping Therapy will likely leave marks on the skin called “Sha” by Eastern practitioners. Western philosophy calls these marks petechiae, which is tiny broken blood capillaries in the skin, not actual damage to the tissue. While the marks may look like bruises, they are not actually bruises and are not painful when pressed upon.
In TCM, the Sha is an indication of blood stagnation, which is caused by an imbalanced lifestyle – not enough sleep, not enough exercise or too much exercise, improper diet, a busy schedule, STRESS. Blood stagnation can make you feel sluggish. It can also lead to physical symptoms such as illness, chronic aches, and pain.
The idea of Cupping Therapy is to remove the Sha from the body. This technique will replace stagnant blood with new oxygen-rich blood.
Thai Yoga Massage
THAI YOGA MASSAGE
Thai Yoga Massage is a beautiful and powerful combination of massage, acupressure, gentle stretching, twisting, energy work and meditation, all rolled into one experience. In receiving Thai Yoga Massage, one is also receiving the benefits of yoga and increased flexibility. Flexibility is fundamental to muscle usage, and bone health. Stretching with proper resistance will, over time, help muscles to release and pain to diminish. Thai Yoga Massage incorporates palming and thumbing along tight and sore muscles. This work helps to stretch and massage muscles, relieving tension, improving circulation and balancing the body energetically.
This modality is performed upon a mat on the floor, fully clothed. Form fitted yoga or athletic clothing works best (in addition to compression shorts or boxer briefs suggested for male bodied individuals). The practitioner will move your body into poses and stretches while massaging you. Benefits of this modality over table massage include being able to work areas of the body which prove difficult to access when lying unclothed on the table.
This service is for you if:
- You want to work on your flexibility
- You have tight muscles which need deep work
- You love body work and want to try something new
This service is not a good fit for you if:
- You’ve had spinal injury
- You have Rheumatoid Arthritis
- You’ve had joint replacement
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN DECIDING IF THIS IS FOR YOU:
1.) This is an up close and personal experience. If you have a personal bubble, I will likely be in it.
2.) There will be times in your session where I use my feet instead of hands to massage you.
Other Specialties
Bellanina Face Massage
75 Minutes / $130 includes facial massage plus hands/feet treatment
What you can expect:
Bellanina Face Massage consists of a thorough cleansing with a facial cleanser enriched with aloe and calendula among other wholesome ingredients with gentle soothing strokes. Warm towels are used to relax the client as well as soften the skin and open pores for treatment.
This process cleans cellular debris and prepares the skin for massage. Came to your session with make-up on? No problem! Your make-up will be gently removed for you.
Next, you will receive a full neck and shoulder massage using warm bamboo, melting away stress, releasing the tension, and gently promoting flexibility.
Then the face is massaged with luxurious aromatherapeutic oils using techniques targeted at the muscles of the face which not only releases tension but promotes a lifted appearance around the eyes, cheekbones, forehead, and jawline. Using whipping, tapping, acupressure, and contouring strokes as well as manual lymph drainage, blood and oxygen are stimulated to nourish, rejuvenate and tone the muscles and skin of the face. The Invigorating Honeylift Massage portion of this treatment not only smells and feels amazing but helps to lift fine lines and wrinkles. The use of tapping techniques during this sticky portion of your treatment is something that has to be experienced to understand!
After the Honeylift, the face is washed again. This time with a refreshing mandarin face wash followed by a toner which boosts hydration and adds a layer of protection while balancing PH levels of the skin.
A refreshing cool towel will be wrapped around the face, closing and protecting the pores after treatment and tightening up the skin. Optional use of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil will enhance the cooling effect and transport the client to a whole new level of relief.
The face is then moisturized with crèmes containing the finest natural bio-extracts to feed and nourish the skin. This nourishing moisturizer, in an aloe vera base, has essential oils of geranium and lavender which impart a wonderful aroma to this rich yet light moisture. High in natural antioxidants from organic pomegranate seed oil, green tea, and vitamin E, it also contains organic rosehip oil which is vitamin-rich and regenerative. Additional healthy ingredients include collagen amino acids and more! Along with your Face Massage treatment, you will be pampered with a hands/feet treatment to complete this decadent session.
Geriatric Massage
Throughout the phases of life, massage is incredibly helpful. The elderly community is no exception. Be it in-home visits or nursing home care, the help of a massage therapist later in life is something I feel passionately about! Slower strokes and lots of compression work soothe muscle soreness and fatigue. Regular massage serves as a warm, human touch full of compassion in the later years.
I have worked with people right in their (or their loved ones) homes, as well as multiple, assisted living and nursing facilities including Golden Living, Gentry Park, BeeHive Homes, Meadowood, and Jill’s House. I truly believe that massage should be a part of EVERYONE’s life and have an extra soft spot for folks living with dementia and the caretakers who tend to them!
