 Our Overnight Guests
can enhance their stay with nurturing bodywork,
unwinding into the slower rhythm of life at the
Yellow Turtle Inn.
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.
 
Coming for just the Day
For those who wish to spend only a few hours with us, relishing in the 
Yellow Turtle Inn's relaxing atmosphere, 
you can enjoy a one hour session of massage therapy or energy work followed by complementary tea
served in our lovely parlor or on our welcoming porch viewing the sunset 
over 100 acres of preserved farm land.
You are invited to walk our Labyrinth for a meditational walk before or after your massage.
I have been told by many that when just entering into the grounds of the Turtle they experience a peacefulness that they cannot describe.
Gift Certificates
are available for a delightful surprise

If your appointment is before your check in time and your room is ready you may go right into your room. Should your room still need to be attended to, you may relax on the front porch, walk the grounds or enjoy tea in the parlor.

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 field of energy surrounds everone's physical body. The state of this energy affects the well-being of the individual.  It can be accessed by different techniques including reiki
-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.
 
                    One hour treatment Cost $75
 
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.
 
We encourage you to book a combination Cranial Sacral Work and Massage for a total experience 
 
One hour and a half   Cost$125
