I believe the most effective massage work happens over time, as we gain trust with each other and your body becomes familiar with the surroundings and my work, you can ease into letting go and relaxing quicker each time. We can build on flexibility, encourage maintenance, and work with chronic problem areas. Regular clients see me every two to three weeks. To help encourage this regular treatment, I offer a $20 per-session discount for 5 (or more) sessions. Please email me if you are interested in this option, or let me know during our next session.
5 - 60 Minute Massages: $525 ($100 total savings)

gift certificates
When you gift a massage, it’s much more than the time on the table. The recipient leaves with that post-treatment feeling and it stays with them. You know what it is, and you want to share it.
Simply venmo the amount for an hour or ninety-minute session along with your name, the recipient’s name, and the recipient’s email address. I send a digital gift certificate to your luckiest friend with everything that they need to schedule the time. Venmo @alexandraburton23
massage therapy
deep tissue massage
Deep tissue focuses not only on the muscles themselves, but on the health of the tendons and ligaments that connect this musculature to your body. Through focused, slow pressure on key points, deep tissue techniques help release chronic tension and soreness by softening rigid tissue that forms over time in response to muscle stress. These ‘adhesions’ can cause pain and inflammation, limiting motion and efficiency.
myofascial release (active release)
Fascia is a type of tissue that acts as a lubricated sheath that keeps various muscle groups, nerves and blood vessels separate and able to glide across each other. Time, stress and exercise can cause this sheath to damage, which can lead to pain and reduced movement. By applying proper pressure and motion, massage helps break up the scar tissue that forms around these damaged points, promoting further healing and ease of movement.
movement therapy
Muscles and ligaments work in an expand-contract process to keep the body aligned and in efficient motion. When problem areas arise, the body can compensate by protecting one area through compensation in another, which can lead to misalignment and unbalance. If untreated, small compensations like this can result in larger issues of joint pain, back pain and poor athletic performance. Movement Therapy incorporates massage practice with the biomechanics of your body, working your musculature system in conjunction with motion to help your body realign.
trigger point therapy
Trigger Point Therapy focuses on the “knots” that form in your muscles through excessive tension. The chronic tightening of specific muscles—from stress, posture, or the demands of exercise—can cause certain muscle fibers to seize and refuse to unlock, falling out of sync with the normal expansion and contraction of movement and causing pain. Trigger Point Therapy works these pain points by elongating the muscle and encouraging it to ‘release’.
injury treatment
Many specific injuries can benefit from massage therapy. Some common examples are whiplash, tendonitis, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, frozen shoulder, piriformis syndrome or sciatica. If you have a diagnosed injury massage therapy may benefit you.
