Massages are done one at a time or as a couple. The massage therapist comes here just for you.
We often schedule massage times before check in time to be able to fit everything in during your visit. If your room is ready before check in, you certainly may go into your room. Should your room still need finishing touches, we invite you to enjoy tea on the front porch or in our parlor while waiting.
Occasionally we run a little late because of circumstances beyond our control. We ask that you be felexible with your scheduled activities following your massage.
I sometimes hear "Oh, I want a massage for my partner because it is a surprise but I wonder if I should get one too". My response is always, "What a lovely gift to give your loved one - a relaxed, patient and more loveable you!".
So yes, consider your relaxed attitude as a bonus gift to your partner.

Therapeutic Massage Techniques
Massage therapy offers many benefits that include easing soft tissue pain and tightness, reducing stress, calming the mind and boosting the immune system. It also provides safe, soothing touch and increases awareness of the mind/body connection
Prior to your massage, please feel free to share any concerns about your session with the massage therapist
Swedish massage is the most common type and is used to increase relaxation and blood circulation and decrease muscle tension.
The more superficial layers of muscles are worked on with a variety of long strokes, kneading, friction and vibration.
Deep tissue massage works specific muscles, both superficial and deep, in a region of the body to release chronic tension patterns. The work is done slowly and deeply and with precision and sensitivity.
Myofascial massage uses very slow strokes to relax and soften fascia, a type of connective tissue. The therapist and client co-create space in the client's body so muscles and other structures can funtion more optimally.
Most of our massage therapists are trained in all of the above techniques. If you have a request for a specific technique, please let us know in advance so that we can match you up with the right massage therapist.
Reiki Energy Work

-a healing touch.
Reiki is an energy technique where a gentle laying hands on the body transmits universal energy to balance the client's energy field. It promotes deep relaxation while healing on all of the body's levels: physical, mental,emotional and spiritual.. It is not for the practioner to decide what is to be healed but to let the energy of the Universe come through her hands and heal what needs to be healed. No promises are made or expected.

Enter into another perception of your world
After your massage, savor the stillness with a meditative walk in our nature friendly Labyrinth.
Then perhaps enjoy a quiet moment with a cup of herbal tea under the tree canopy on the upper deck or just sitting on the wrap around front porch watching the fields of wheat grow.
Cranial Sacral Work
CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY (CST) is a potent tool using the functions of the Cranial Sacral system. It is an effective form of bodywork and of Neuromuscular Therapy which uses extremely gentle movements to unlock tension and relieve pain. There are no rapid adjustments, painful contortions, or deep muscle probing.
As your Cranial Sacral system comes into balance, you may feel a release of accumulated stress and a general sense of well-being. Some specific complaints and physical problems may also clear up with Cranial Sacral work.
Cranial Sacral Therapy are sometimes effective in shifting emotional holding patterns and draining accumulated stresses in the nervous system. Clients often experience relief from headaches and other problems located in the head, jaw, neck, pelvis, and diaphragm. Each experience is different for each person.
