Benefits of Massage Therapy
-
Migraine Relief: Massage therapy can help alleviate migraine symptoms by reducing stress, easing muscle tension, and promoting relaxation, which are often triggers for migraines.
-
Stress Reduction: Regular massages can decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body, leading to a calmer state of mind and improved overall well-being.
-
Muscle Relaxation: Massage therapy targets tense muscles and knots, promoting better circulation and releasing built-up tension, which can help reduce muscle pain and improve flexibility.
-
Improved Sleep Quality: By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, regular massages can help improve sleep patterns and enhance sleep quality, leading to increased energy levels and better overall health.
-
Enhanced Circulation: Massage therapy increases blood flow to the muscles and tissues, which can aid in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients while facilitating the removal of toxins, promoting overall better circulation and improved bodily function.
Nurturing Massage for Expecting Moms
Prenatal and postnatal massage therapy focuses on alleviating discomfort, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being during all stages of pregnancy and after birth. Relax in a side-lying position with body pillows to provide support, allowing you to relax fully. Each session begins with a dry scrub to promote lymphatic drainage and help reduce swelling, and we end with a head and face massage, leaving you feeling nourished and blissed out.
Why Prenatal Massage?
-
Relief from Pregnancy Discomforts: Prenatal massage can help alleviate common discomforts associated with pregnancy, such as back pain, swollen feet, and sciatic nerve pain, providing much-needed relief for expectant mothers.
-
Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Massage therapy during pregnancy can help lower stress and anxiety levels by promoting relaxation and releasing feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine, contributing to a more positive emotional state for both the mother and baby.
-
Improved Sleep Quality: Many pregnant women struggle with sleep disturbances due to discomfort or hormonal changes. Prenatal massage can aid relaxation, promoting better sleep quality and overall restfulness.
-
Decreased Swelling: Edema, or swelling, is a common issue during pregnancy, especially in the feet and ankles. Prenatal massage techniques can help reduce swelling by improving circulation and lymphatic drainage.
-
Bonding with Baby: Prenatal massage allows expectant mothers to connect with their growing baby in a soothing and nurturing environment. Gentle touch during massage can enhance the bond between mother and child, fostering a sense of closeness and well-being.
"I was gifted a massage and I went at 9 months pregnant. Gerri's massage was so relaxing I almost fell asleep so many times. Although I have never gotten a prenatal massage before, this already beats a lot of the prior massages I have had. "

What is Gua Sha
Gua Sha for the face is a facial massage technique that utilizes a smooth-edged tool, typically made of jade or rose quartz, to gently scrape and massage the skin. As facial therapy, it helps de-puff, stimulate microcirculation, and promote collagen production.
Benefits of Facial Gua Sha
-
TMJ Relief: Facial Gua Sha can help alleviate tension and discomfort associated with TMJ dysfunction by promoting relaxation of the jaw muscles and improving circulation in the area. The gentle scraping motions can help release tightness and reduce inflammation, relieving jaw pain and stiffness.
-
Headache Reduction: Facial Gua Sha may help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches by relieving tension in the facial muscles, temples, and scalp. The massage techniques used in Gua Sha can help release built-up tension and improve blood flow, potentially easing headache symptoms and promoting relaxation.
-
Improved Circulation: Gua Sha stimulates blood flow to the face, promoting circulation and delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. This increased circulation can help improve the complexion, reduce puffiness, and enhance the skin's natural glow.
-
Lymphatic Drainage: Gua Sha massage techniques can help promote lymphatic drainage in the face, removing toxins and reducing fluid retention. By encouraging the lymphatic system to function more efficiently, facial Gua Sha may help reduce facial puffiness and promote a more sculpted appearance.
-
Stress Reduction: Gua Sha promotes relaxation and helps reduce stress levels. The gentle scraping motions and soothing massage techniques can help calm the mind and body, relieving tension and promoting a sense of well-being. Reduced stress can have a positive impact on overall health and may contribute to a more youthful and radiant complexion.
"I've received several massages from Gerri and I just have to say that she's a miracle worker. I'm very particular about the kind of massage I get because I have injuries on my shoulder and I carry all my stress on my neck. She is very intuitive and gets the job done with a combination of hard work and patience."
