Don't worry about walking or driving back — just melt into the furniture in your room once your massage is done.
Select Your Favorite Treatment Options

The Ultimate Therapeutic Massage uses a combination of massage techniques, such as shiatsu, deep tissue, and Swedish — to deliver the exact treatment your body needs. The full body massage includes foot, head, and Reiki or chakra tuning.
Got stubborn sore spots? The Knotty Pine removes stubborn knots, increases your range of motion, and releases tension. For a lighter touch, try the Bliss Massage, which uses stroking Swedish massage or a hot stone massage to melt away the tightness. You can also add 10-minute treatments that include cupping, shiatsu, and reflexology.
Take a Sound Bath
