  • This massage is geared to the female client’s needs and goals as it pertains to pregnancy and after pregnancy. The pregnant mother is propped up with pillows for her comfort in a side-lying position. Heather may use techniques to help induce or prepare for labor naturally around 38 to 40 weeks. We can use deep tissue and Swedish techniques during this time. The client can book a prenatal even in the first trimester.

  • Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a specialized massage technique that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. MLD uses gentle, rhythmic movements and varying degrees of pressure (usually light pressure) to encourage the flow of lymph fluid through the lymphatic vessels. It can help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the body's immune system. MLD is often used as a part of post-surgery recovery, or for certain medical conditions like cancer, lymphedema, and autoimmune conditions. It is typically performed by trained therapists who have expertise in lymphatic drainage techniques.

    For those looking for MLD for post-surgery like bbls, tummy tucks, lipo, or even orthopedic surgery, choose the 30-minute or 45-minute Post-op MLD service. If you need fibrosis/scar tissue work with the MLD, book the 60-minute session. Please wait at least 21 days for fibrosis work. Depending on each person, you may need 2-3 sessions a week to prevent fibrosis and seromas.

  • John F. Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR)
    John F. Barnes Myofascial Release is a gentle, highly effective hands-on therapy that targets restrictions in the fascial system—the body’s connective tissue network. This approach helps release physical and emotional tension stored in the body, promoting deep healing and lasting pain relief. Unlike traditional massage, Barnes MFR follows the body's natural rhythms, allowing for authentic, sustained release and restoration. Ideal for chronic pain, trauma recovery, and restoring balance, this technique supports whole-body wellness and transformation.

INFARED PEMF MAT ADD-ON

Clinical Massage Enhanced with Infrared PEMF Therapy

$95 for a 30-minute session

$150 for a 60-minute session

My clinical massage sessions are customized to address chronic pain, postural imbalances, and muscular tension through advanced techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and neuromuscular work. To further support your body’s healing, I incorporate the Hooga Infrared PEMF Mat—a therapeutic mat that combines Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, far-infrared heat, and crystal therapy using amethyst, jade, and tourmaline stones.

During your session, you’ll relax on the mat as it delivers:

  • PEMF therapy – Low-frequency electromagnetic pulses that help recharge your cells, enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair.

  • Far-infrared heat – Deep warmth that penetrates muscles and joints, helping to relax tension, stimulate detoxification, and support overall comfort.

  • Crystal therapy – Heated natural crystals that release negative ions to help calm the nervous system and promote a grounding, restorative experience.

This combination amplifies the effects of massage by working on a cellular and energetic level, allowing for deeper relaxation and improved therapeutic outcomes.

Precautions

  • Gradual Introduction
    If you're new to PEMF therapy, it's best to begin with shorter sessions and lower intensity settings. This allows your body to adjust gradually and minimizes the chance of overstimulation or discomfort.

  • Hydration Support
    PEMF therapy can enhance cellular activity and detoxification. To support this process and prevent mild dehydration, drink plenty of water before and after each session.

  • Monitor Symptoms
    For individuals managing conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain, start slowly and pay close attention to how your body responds. Mild temporary discomfort may occur initially as the body adapts.

  • Metal Implants
    Use caution if you have metal implants. While most people with surgical implants tolerate PEMF therapy well, certain high-intensity devices or specific metals may pose risks. Please consult your physician if you have concerns.

  • Session Duration
    For general wellness, sessions of 10–30 minutes are recommended. Longer sessions may result in temporary fatigue or overstimulation, so always listen to your body and adjust accordingly.

Contraindications

  • Pregnancy
    PEMF therapy is not recommended during pregnancy, as its effects on fetal development have not been sufficiently studied.

  • Epilepsy or Seizure Disorders
    Individuals with epilepsy or a history of seizures should avoid PEMF therapy, as electromagnetic fields may potentially trigger seizures in sensitive individuals.

  • Implanted Medical Devices
    PEMF therapy should not be used by individuals with electronic implants such as pacemakers, insulin pumps, or cochlear implants, as the electromagnetic fields may interfere with device function.

  • Active Bleeding or Bleeding Disorders
    Because PEMF can increase circulation, it should not be used in cases of active bleeding (internal or external), recent surgery, or for those with diagnosed bleeding disorders. Individuals on blood thinners should consult their doctor before use. Ladies, even with menstrual bleeding.

  • Active Cancer
    PEMF therapy is contraindicated for individuals with active cancer, as it may stimulate cellular activity. More research is needed, but until further evidence is available, it’s best to avoid use unless under medical supervision.

  • Children and Adolescents
    PEMF therapy is generally not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed and closely monitored by a healthcare provider.
