General Info

In a peaceful country setting, discover a deep, California-style massage that integrates a harmonious blend of methods customized to fit your needs. Trickling fountains, soft lighting and aromatherapy enhance the experience. The massage table is complimented by a bodyCushion, a set of foam cushions that support you comfortably on your bones, alleviating pressure to the chest and abdomen. A scientific study has shown that muscles relax better on a bodyCushion, and individuals with chronic back pain especially appreciate that it helps decompress the spine and allows easier access to deeper connective tissue.
