Many of our clients see us because they need relief from pain and muscular spasm.

We have the talent to meet your needs in a caring and professional manner.

What is best for You?

        We have been trained in several types of bodywork and we will concentrate our work using whatever method we fee will most benefit your situation.

Stress Relief

Swedish massage is the most common type of bodywork received for stress related issues.  This work may be moderate to deep in pressure depending on the client's needs and their preferences.

Swedish massage is used to release muscular tension and congested tissues by encouraging flexibility and fluidity.  Swedish is great for overworked areas and we use this soothing and relaxing massage in between other methods that target specific problem areas.  We may include aromatherapy oils and warm stones to augment the Swedish work.

The deeper Swedish work is also known as Deep Tissue massage by some people.

We both are  masters of Enertropic Therapy - This little known type of bodywork is very effective for treating pain related issues sometimes within a matter of minutes.

Enertropic Therapy - is effective for both acute and chronic conditions. It is used to relieve tension and pain patterns by pressing upon active and latent  points of pain in the musculature.  The system is somewhat like using acupressure or triggerpoints as it uses finger pressure to activate the paired points. Many times the client will be asked to stretch or move in someway to help the process. 

The Stephenson Method - Brenda Messling is an authorized Stephenson practitoner and instructor.  This is a special massage for special needs. It can address problems like restless legs, migraine, sciatica, digestive complaints, sinus pain and anxiety. 

The Stephenson Method uses very light to very direct pressure depending on the situation.  In some cases it works more with the fluids or nerves in the body than it does the musculature.  The Stephenson method may be used to treat conditions that traditional massage and bodywork are not able to address.

Pregnancy Massage

Prenatal clients benefit from Swedish massage.  For clients past their third month we use a side lying position for comfort of both mother and baby.

Brenda has taught midwives in the 
Stephenson Method which is part of Dr. Gowri Motha's Gentle Birth Method ™  which is a specific program for women who chose to have their baby naturally and prepare themselves for the even using diet, visualization, bodywork and exercise rather than using drugs and or surgery.
