About Melissa
Therapeutic Integration, Nourishing Body Cocoon,
Hot Stones, & Reflexology
.
Melissa provides soothing and calming sessions focusing on relaxation and recovery blending with deep tissue techniques adjusted to each client's needs. Hot stones can be added during back work or as a full body stone session. Her nourishing body wrap can be done as standalone sessions or blended with a full body massage.
About Reflexology
Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands, and ears. It's based on a theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems. People who practice this technique are called reflexologists.
About Nourishing Body Cocoon
We start by exfoliating and opening the skin with dry brushing followed by application of our own hand-made nourishing skin butter and wrapping the body in layers of blankets. While wrapped we massage your neck and feet. A 90 minute or 2 hour body cocoon will incorporate back, arms and legs to provide a full body massage. We finish with time to relax into your nest and release muscle tension from the inside out.
How this cocoon works
Dry body brushing dusts off old skin cells, opens pores, stimulates blood and lymph flow, and warms the skin. Wrapping the body with hydrating oils and raising the body temperature allows the oil to moisturize deeply into the newly opened skin and helps to boost the lymph and immune systems while increasing circulation to create new cell growth. Cocooning wraps have been shown to increase the metabolism assisting in breaking down cellulite and other body fats as well as reduce the signs of aging. They can assist to rid the body of excess fluid and toxins leading to detoxification.
About Hot Stone Massage
During these sessions Melissa 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.
