Let my warm smooth, fragrant oiled stones massage your tight muscles (yes, I actually do massage your tight muscles with warm, fragrant, oiled stones) to relieve tension and/or pain. Hot (and sometimes cool) stones are wonderful for muscle therapy, stiff and sore muscles as well as many conditions of pain & stress such as
   ~ Fibromyalgia
   ~ High Stress

   ~ Muscle Cramps
   ~ Headaches
   ~ Carpal Tunnel Pain

   ~ Shin Splints
   ~ Runners Cramps
   ~ Sciatica Pain
   ~ Leg and Foot Pain
   ~ Leg Cramps
   ~ Plantar Fasciatis
   ~ And many other painful conditions.

Hot Stone Massage is excellent for deep relaxation, stress release and pain relief. Great therapy for headaches, tension in head & neck, a great gift for someone who sits at a computer all day! Totally wonderful, blissful!   Experience Deep Relaxation or Pain Relief with this unique massage with therapeutic hot (& sometimes, cool) stones!

Hot Stone Reflexology Therapy
Reflexology - a holistic, natural and safe therapy with no side effects. Specific reflex points of the feet or hands connect to all the organs, glands and systems of the body (similar to the points in acupressure). Massage of those points helps stimulate & energize the entire body, feels great, and assists the circulation – great for anyone who is on their feet all day, or computer users, anyone who uses their hands all day!

Reflexology and massage causes your body to release chemicals called endorphins, which are called the “feel good” hormones. Hot Stone Reflexology --- a unique blend of reflexology and hot stone therapy. Each session is customized for your needs and can be legs & feet, hands & feet or hands, wrists and arms.

In all sessions, I integrate a variety of techniques based on the root teachings of therapeutic massage, heat/cold therapy, anatomy, physiology, therapeutic essential oils, acupressure, aromatherapy, Trager therapy, holistic healing and energy work.

Want to try Hot Stone Reflexology? Come to PVH on the 1st Friday of the month for a short session (15-minutes for only $15). You'll LOVE it! See info in this sidebar -- appointments are recommended for this service as we are often booked full that day.

Phenomenal Touch® is both a philosophy and a variety of massage techniques. The Institute of Phenomenal Touch was founded by Leslie Bruder in Boulder, Co. These techniques are based on the root teachings of therapeutic massage, heat/cold therapy, acupressure, Trager therapy, anatomy, physiology, Thai Massage, Watsu, Qi Gong, Barefoot Shiatsu, holistic healing, energy work and a reverent spiritual practice. These unique methods are very flowing and work the body in a 3-Dimensional way using gravity, creating space and  fulcrums. The philosophy of Phenomenal Touch is based on many principles including reverence and honoring the whole person. The philosophy of Phenomenal Touch is the basis for all of my massage and bodywork sessions from chair massage to Thai Massage.

Ah-Shiatsu Therapy
Do You Like Medium or Deep - Tissue Massage?  Then you’ll LOVE Ah-Shiatsu Barefoot Massage. Barefoot Shiatsu Therapy has been practiced in Asia for over 3,000 years.  It is effective, safe and restorative at a deep level. This technique combines specific pressure point therapy with therapeutic medium to deep tissue work to ease out knots and relieve deep muscle tension - great for sore muscles or just because it feels so good! Ah-Shiatsu is done on a comfy floor mat with no lotion or oil. You wear comfortable clothes (t-shirt & sweat pants - no jeans, fitted pants or button shirts). Great Gift Idea!

Deep Tissue – Neuromuscular (NMT) Massage
for pain relief. Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a special deep tissue massage technique to help relieve pain. Although Neuromuscular Therapy works at a deep level to relieve tightness, tension and pain in muscles it is NOT painful, but sometimes "hurts so good". Chronic muscle tightness and tension can sometimes cause compression of nerves which can cause "shooting pain" down the arm, leg or hip. 

Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specialized technique of deep tissue massage that can help relieve chronic muscle pain. Muscular pain is often caused by repetitive tasks like working at a computer or strenuous activities like gardening, working out at the gym, sports, skiing, hiking or biking.
Recent studies show that Therapeutic Massage has been proven by researchers to be more effective than both chiropractic and acupuncture in relieving back pain. NMT works by “re-setting” the muscle tendons and fibers to the correct size and elasticity, and also releasing the lactic acid and toxins that cause painful knots. If you have headaches or back pain caused by stress and tension you can benefit from NMT Therapy. This type of massage is NOT painful but very beneficial. My clients range from teenagers to age 83! I  invite you to try it & you too can get relief from chronic pain!  This can be added to your Hot Stone, Reflexology or Ah-Shiatsu Session at no charge.

Vibrational Healing
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.”
—Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Cornell Cancer Prevention Center in New York City
