Therapeutic Relaxation, Prenatal, and Hot Stone

Laura's work is a nurturing and intuitive blend of relaxation and deep tissue. She incorporates hot towels, joint mobilizations, stretching, and trigger point techniques in her sessions. Her prenatal session bring empathy and support to the journey of love, joy, stress and pressures that mothers go through while they carry new life. 

About Prenatal Massage

During a prenatal session Laura will have her client lie on their side to keep baby and mother safe and comfortable. Massage during and after pregnancy can help ease soar muscles, joints, and ligaments as well as calm and care for mama so she can care for baby. As a mother herself Laura has a special love for mamas and loves the honor of supporting, preparing, and helping mothers through the emotional and physical strains of pre and post partum care through bodywork.  

About Hot Stone Massage

During these sessions Laura incorporates heated basalt stones with her massage techniques. The heat provided by damp hot stones penetrates more deeply into the muscle tissue than manual pressure ever can. This slow heat creates deep relaxation and release of muscle tension allowing the client a gentle way to relax while changing tension and letting the therapist working into the deeper muscles layers to make greater change.

Therapeutic Deep Tissue, Cupping, and Sticks and Stones (Bamboo and Hot Stone Fusion)

Adon focuses on long flowing hands-on techniques combined with heated bamboo to achieve therapeutic detail and deep relaxation. His sessions can range from deep work to gentle depending on the needs of the client. Cupping session can be used to release and lengthen soft tissue and increase other body functions. For a truly unique therapeutic massage he incorporates hot stones and heated bamboo in his specialty Sticks and Stones sessions.

About Sticks and Stones Massage

In this customized session Adon blends hands on massage, heated basalt stones, Himalayan salt stones, and warm Bamboo sticks to create a full experience of resetting and renewing the muscular and other soft tissue structures. Both bamboo and stones function as tools to work deeper into the soft tissue. The heat allows the body to soften and relaxed more completely than hands on work alone is capable of. 

About Cupping Sessions

In these session Adon combines massage cupping with hands on techniques to advance the therapeutic outcome that traditional massage can achieve. Cupping creates negative pressure on the underlying tissue freeing up fascial adhesions and promote lymphatic drainage. Cups can be applied to a single body area for muscular issues or used in larger patterns to lengthen the fascial net depending on the client's needs. They can also be placed in static positions or moved as needed. 

Cupping can leave short term marks on the skin as it draws damaged cells and stagnant blood to the surface allowing the body to clear them. These marks can last up to a week.
